DIY: Organize your linen cabinet
Storing your linen by type may not be such a good idea. Here are some practical and pretty ways to store your bed linen without having to pull out a riot every time you need to change your bedding.
Pillow Tuck — Put each set in one of its pillowcases so you won’t go scrambling for its missing pair.
Stack-on Bedding — Organize your linen by set and color in a neat stack and tie them with a pretty ribbon or band.
Use Protection — Store your duvets and comforters in their original plastic containers to keep them from getting dusty, since these are linens that are not changed regularly.
Label It — Label and group your sheet sets by bedroom or by size, such as queen or twin. Always use the sheet on top and put clean sheets, fresh from washing in the bottom of the pile. This will ensure that your sheets will wear evenly.
TIP: For linen closets, cedar balls have a much more pleasant smell than your usual stinky insect repellants, naphthalene, or mothballs. You can find cedar balls or chips in most major hardware stores.
