VIDEO TUTORIAL

In this step-by-step tutorial, I’m showing you how to transform a narrow linen closet in your master bathroom into a multifunctional storage closet that stores your towels, bedding, makeup, beauty products, and cleaning supplies.

  1. Remove everything.

  2. Buy baskets with an open top.

  3. Roll up the towels.

  4. Categorize your items.

THE PROBLEM

I’m the only one who regularly uses our linen closet in our bathroom and with the wire shelves, small items would fall through the shelves and get lost. I needed some sort of storage solution to keep similar items together.

THE GOAL

I wanted this linen closet to be organized by categories. I wanted to be able to open the door and know where each item was. I didn’t want to waste my time looking for specific items. Ultimately, I wanted the bathroom linen closet organized so that I could get ready quicker in the morning.

the before

  1. Remove everything.

    I first removed everything we had from the linen closet and laid it all out on the floor in our master bedroom.

  2. Buy baskets with an open top.

    You want to be able to reach your items quicker and a lid (in my opinion) will get in the way.

  3. Roll up the towels.

    Rolling towels instead of folding them allows you to grab the one you want without destroying the pile. Whenever I would try to fold the towels into squares, the pile would dismantle and fall apart because it’s on the highest shelf in the linen closet.

  4. Categorize your items.

1st Shelf:

  • Rolled up bath towels.

2nd Shelf:

  • Hand Towels (rolled and vertical)

  • Washcloths

  • Pillowcases

3rd Shelf:

  • Essential Oils

  • Jewelry

  • Makeup

  • Beauty Product Refills

4th Shelf:

  • Massagers and Heating Pad

  • Travel Toiletries

5th Shelf:

  • Period Products

  • Nail Gel Kit + Supplies
