A 12-step program to help you rehabilitate your linen closet.

3 Attach peel-and-stick office labels to shelves and fabric baskets (use tags for woven ones), so everyone can find what they’re looking for.

4 Colour-code linens for each member of the family. In this family, it’s crisp white towels for Mom, navy for “the boys” – Dad and son – and cheery yellow for the daughter.

5 Invest in dedicated sets of linens so that you can pamper your house guests. Here, both guest bed and bath linens are stacked on the far right of the bottom two shelves.

    This is such a perfect help for those of us who would like to get the "almost-perfect" and very practically organized and neat linen closet. Many thanks :-)
