One of the most exciting milestones is purchasing your first home. However, once you move in it can become stressful. I needed to find a new space to put each item. I had a few problem areas that I just could not get organized. The worst was the guest linen closet. I just couldn’t arrange it in a way that was pleasing to the eye, but also provided all the items our guest might need. Now, several months later I think I finally figured it out!
I wanted this closet to be very cohesive and give our guest all the items they may need or have forgotten. This is what I came up with:
These large milk crate baskets are perfect for holding towels. I just stack them upright one behind the other. If you are slightly OCD like me make sure you use all the same colors. I chose white but any color that matches your decor will work perfectly. This towel set from amazon has great reviews.
To the left of the towel basket I put all the washcloths rolled up. The basket is only $9 at Target. Rolling the washcloths in the same way (where the stripe faces outward) is going the be the most pleasing to the eye.
On the second shelf I used the milk crate basket in small. I folded up an extra set of sheets that I found on amazon. They were super affordable and very soft. I got them in the color Wisteria. Click on the image below to check them out!
I used the same small basket on the second shelf. In this basket I put a few random items that might be helpful to guests such as razors, toothbrushes, soap, and a small travel kit. I feel that it is small details like these that make your guests feel right at home!
On the last shelf I provided some extra pillows. These were only $3 each at Walmart, which makes them perfect for a guest room. They are actually really fluffy and soft.
Getting this one closet organized made me feel so much better! Do you have a problem area in your home that you just can’t get organized? Let me know below.
