6 Fold bed and bath linens so that they fit on shelves with no material overhanging. Arrange them in short stacks with the folded edge forward; the closet will look neat, and items will be easier to remove and replace.

7 Stacks of face cloths tend to topple over, so corral them in a fabric box. Store them behind the stack of matching towels or between stacks.

8 Use the highest shelf to store antique linens, seasonal and other seldom-used linens. Wrap sets in cellophane to protect them from dust; label each pack with the quantity, so you know how many are in each set.

9 Out-of-season quilts and throws can be stored out of the way in a basket at the bottom of the closet.
