Ditch The Linen Closet Clutter: A Smarter Way To Fold And Store Sheets

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

A full linen closet can easily become overwhelming. All it takes is a messy folding job or a couple of uneven stacks, and the layers of fabric quickly feel messy and cluttered. Don't even get us started on folding fitted sheets and the annoyance of making them look presentable. However, a bed sheet organizer can help reduce closet clutter. 

This product is essentially like a filing box for bed sheets. The Souco SheetCube Bed Sheet Organizers are a highly-rated example. These box-shaped organizers are made of fabric, so they're breathable. They are sized to fit a typical duvet cover set (a duvet cover and two pillowcases). Since they ensure you keep sets together, you'll no longer have to search through stacks to find different parts of a matching set. The structured organizer encases the folded bed sheets and has a zipper, which offers a little bit of compression so the package will take up less room.

An organizer hides the linens, so you only need to fold your bed sheets and blankets well enough to fit inside, not nicely, since they won't be on display. Many do have a small clear window so you can identify the sheets inside at a glance, without needing to open the box. Label holders are another convenient feature, as is a handle so you can pull it off the shelf. Most bed sheet organizers store the sheets vertically, so you can take advantage of storage space and pull a set out without disrupting the others. This configuration also makes them look nice and neat, like a row of books. If your closet is prone to messy horizontal stacks, this is a big improvement. The matching organizers also look more uniform, improving visual clutter as well.

While these products are designed for bed sheets, there's nothing stopping you from using them for to organize items that you want to group together, like guest towel sets or holiday linens. There are other great ways to store towels and bulky blankets, too, so consider some more linen closet organization tips. Next step?
