Linen cupboard sorted and organised so you can actually find sheets and towels when you need them. Everything folded and arranged logically.
That Cupboard Where Everything Falls Out
Open the linen cupboard door carefully because something always slides out. Can't find matching pillowcases. No idea which sheets fit which bed. Towels stuffed in any old how.
💡 Pro tip: Store sheet sets inside one of their own pillowcases - keeps matching sheets together and makes grabbing the right set much easier.
The Chaos Builds Up
It never starts chaotic. But bit by bit, it gets there.

| No logical arrangement | Dig through everything to find one thing |
| Everything different sizes mixed up | Towels fall when you grab a sheet |
| Old stuff never sorted out | Wasting space on tatty towels you never use |

What to Expect
Step 1: Empty & Sort
Everything comes out. I'll sort into piles - single sheets, double sheets, towels, etc. You'll probably find stuff you forgot you had.
Step 2: Fold & Organise
Refold everything neatly. Group matching sets together. Work out the best arrangement for your cupboard.
Step 3: Arrange Logically
Put things back in a way that makes sense - everyday stuff at easy height, occasional items higher up, organised by type.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle it yourself? Here's how to do it properly:
🔧 What you need
- Bit of time (allow an hour)
- Somewhere to put piles while sorting (bed works well)
- Maybe some shelf organisers or fabric boxes
- Ruthless attitude to old/tatty items
📐 The organisation system
- Empty completely - don't try to do it in stages
- Sort into categories as you go
- Decide what to keep, donate, or bin
- Fold sheets and towels uniformly (look up hotel folding for neat results)
- Store sets together (sheet sets in their own pillowcase)
- Arrange by frequency of use
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Trying to organise without emptying it first
- Keeping everything even if you never use it
- No system - just shoving it back differently
- Not folding properly - takes up more space
- Forgetting to put often-used items at easy height
💡 Pro trick: Take a photo when it's perfectly organised. Next time it gets messy, you've got a reference for how it should look. Makes re-organising much quicker.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Donate old towels? Animal shelters love old towels and bedding. Better than binning stuff that's still usable, just not nice enough for your guests anymore.
Adding shelves? Sometimes a linen cupboard just needs more shelves to be properly useful. I can advise if that would help - usually costs £30-40 in materials plus fitting time.
Multiple people using it? Consider labelling shelves (single sheets, double sheets, towels, etc). Sounds daft but it helps keep things organised when different people put washing away.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does linen cupboard organisation involve?
Empty everything out, sort into categories (sheets, towels, pillowcases, etc), fold or refold neatly, arrange shelves logically (used often at eye level, occasional stuff higher up), put everything back in an organised way. Takes about 30-45 minutes.
Will you provide storage boxes or shelf dividers?
If you've got them, great - I'll use them. If not, I'll organise what you've got as best as possible and advise what organisers might help (shelf risers, fabric boxes, etc). Most linen cupboards work fine without buying anything extra though.
Can you help with a really chaotic linen cupboard?
That's the point - turning chaos into order. I've seen it all. Doesn't matter how messy it is now, half an hour later it'll be sorted. Sometimes it's easier for someone else to do it because you're not emotionally attached to keeping every tatty towel.
Should I be there while you do it?
Helpful for deciding what to keep or ditch (especially old bedding you might want to donate), but I can do the physical organisation alone if you're busy. Your choice - whatever works for you.
How long does a tidy linen cupboard stay organised?
Depends how many people use it and how careful they are! With a good system, it should stay reasonable for months. When it starts getting chaotic again, quick re-tidy takes 10 minutes rather than starting from scratch.
