When spring and summer hit, our house becomes like a mini hotel for real.
Between the in-laws visiting, friends crashing after backyard BBQs, and my sister who loves to “surprise” us with her weekend visits, there’s always someone needing a place to sleep.
And every single time someone asks where to find a towel or an extra blanket, I practically panic, because our linen closet?
Complete disaster zone.
It’s honestly the last spot I ever think about organizing, but somehow always the first door guests end up opening.
I finally realized that having a messy linen closet actually makes everything feel more chaotic, especially when you’re trying to be a good host.
So I decided enough was enough and tackled that mess once and for all.
If you’re also tired of playing the “shove-everything-in-and-pray-the-door-closes” game, these linen closet organization ideas are seriously life-changing.
Let’s get our homes actually ready for all those summer visitors instead of just pretending we have it together!

Here are some organization ideas for your linen closet!
