Amazon Organization Favorites to Refresh Your Linen Closet

No more toppling towers of towels or mystery sheet sets. These finds will help you turn your linen closet into a neatly labeled, beautifully folded haven—ready for guests or everyday use.

1. Towel Organizer

A vertical towel organizer helps you store rolled or folded towels in a way that looks tidy and saves space. Instead of stacking them into unstable piles, each towel has its own designated slot. This makes it easier to grab what you need and keeps the linen closet looking clean and hotel-like, even on busy mornings.

2. Bed Sheet Organizer Bins

Sheet organizer bins are a great way to keep bedding sets folded, stacked, and stored together. Each bin holds a complete set, making it easier to pull what you need without having to dig through a messy shelf. Handles make them easy to access and slide out, and they’re perfect for families with multiple bed sizes.

3. Clip-on Metal Labels

Clip-on bin labels bring order to your linen baskets, bins, and boxes by clearly identifying what’s inside. Whether you use them for towels, sheets, or guest supplies, these removable labels make it easy to find what you’re looking for at a glance—and update as needed.

4. Elastic Sheet Bands

Elastic organizer bands are a clever solution for bundling and labeling sheet sets. Pre-marked by size (like Twin, Queen, or King), these bands wrap neatly around your folded bedding and keep everything together. No more mixing up sizes or losing pillowcases!

5. Hyacinth Baskets

Woven baskets add texture and warmth to your closet while offering a practical home for hand towels, toiletries, or even cleaning supplies. With built-in handles, they’re easy to move, and the open design lets you see contents quickly. Perfect for open shelving or deep closet spaces.

6. Closet Bins with Clear Windows

Foldable bins with front-facing windows allow you to see what’s stored without having to pull everything out. Great for seasonal linens, guest bedding, or extra towels, these stackable bins create a uniform, tidy look while remaining functional.

7. Space-Saving Hangers

Multi-tier hangers maximize vertical hanging space, keeping linens, pillowcases, and tablecloths wrinkle-free and easily accessible. Their slim profile helps reduce clutter on closet rods, and the anti-slip coating keeps everything in place.

It’s the little things that make a big difference—and Amazon helps you to treat yourself to these small upgrades. Whether you’re getting organized, labeling everything, or making space to move, these tools make it easier to stay on track and love your space.

Home Organizing Challenge

Welcome to week 4 of the Home Organizing Challenge, where we organize the laundry and mudrooms!

So far, we’ve tackled the kitchen, the pantry, and the entryway. Each week, we are looking at decluttering and organizing a whole area or room of your house and then taking a deeper dive into one component of each space.

This week, we will organize the laundry room and take a deeper dive into how to organize a mudroom to maximize its use for you and your entire family. Organizing the laundry room will help you keep this workhorse of a place decluttered and organized, so laundry is a breeze.

Let’s Organize The Laundry Room!

• Start as we always do by completely clearing out everything from your shelves and cupboards. Here in the laundry, we will also clear the top of your washer and dryer. Use bins, bags, or boxes labeled (the cards you downloaded with your freebies!) with “toss,” “donate,” “keep,” and sort your items. While this can sometimes seem overwhelming, it is the only way to declutter a space truly. I promise it will be worth it!
• Wipe down all of the surfaces in your laundry room. Clean your washing machine by running it with 2 cups of vinegar and then run another cycle with plain hot water. Clean the surface of your washer and your dryer, and empty your dryer’s lint trap.
• Now, it’s time to organize it all. Even if your laundry room is separate from your mudroom or entrance area, you can use your laundry room to store out-of-season items. Think of things like gloves, scarves, and hats in Winter, towels, swim, and beach toys in Summer. Large baskets on shelves are great for these items. Storing some of these items in your laundry room can help keep your entranceway or mudroom more organized and less cluttered.
• Place your detergent, dryer sheets, and stain sticks in smaller baskets or a drawer or shelving system. If you have pets, you can store their food and care needs in large plastic bins with lids to keep everything neat and easy to access.
• Depending on how your home is set up, you may not find all the things you use on this list. No worries! Start by thinking of how often you use each item, and then use some baskets or other storage and place them according to the best way for everyone in your home.

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED

How To Organize The Mudroom

Now that your laundry room is decluttered, organized, and ready to work as hard for you as you do in it, let’s take a closer look at your mudroom. Maybe you have a dedicated area that is a mudroom or maybe you wish to turn space at your rear or front entrance into a functioning mudroom.

The Elements of Organizing a Mudroom

First, let’s look at the main components you want in a mudroom. A mudroom is essentially an entryway that is organized so that you have a place to keep the things you need when you are coming and going each day.

• Cubbies or shelves
• Somewhere to sit
• Boot or shoe mat and a rug
• A coat rack or wall-mounted hooks
• Bins or baskets to stash cold-weather gear, dirty items that need to be laundered, and items that need to be rehomed to another area of the house.
• A sink area

These things are similar to those you will want in an entryway. The most significant difference in a mudroom is that this area may be connected to your laundry room.

You may have a sink in this space if you have a separate mudroom. This is primarily an area to keep things you need as you come and go and also to quell and deal with outside messes before they make their way into your home.

Here are some smart and creative ideas to organize and maximize the working power of your mudroom.

• Cabinets, Cubbies, or an armoire. Adding a cabinet increases the storage and improves the function of your mudroom. It also allows you to hide everything behind closed doors neatly!
• Bins and baskets for seasonal gear. Having bins and baskets to store seasonal accessories is a must in your mudroom. In Summer, you can store flip-flops, towels, and smaller outdoor game equipment. In Winter, swap out for gloves, hats, and scarves.
• Hooks, hooks, hooks. Hooks are crucial in a mudroom. Keep coats, scarves, bags, purses, kids’ backpacks, hats- you name it on these handy installed hooks or coat rack style helpers.
• A basket for laundry. You’ll want to keep a basket for things that need to go straight to the wash in your mudroom. If you have kids in outdoor sports, you know what I’m talking about! Having this basket handy allows you to keep the dirt from making its way into your home. Empty it to the laundry room daily to keep it under control.

This week, we will be organizing your linen closet, making it look fabulous, and streamlining it to simplify your life.

Today, I’ll take you step-by-step through organizing your linen closet.

Next, we will dive deeper into a few pro tips that you can use to help keep everything neat and organized long after you complete this challenge. Let’s get started!

Organizing Your Linen Closet

• Create your Keep, Toss, Donate, and Gather totes, bins, baskets, or bags to use for sorting the contents of your linen closet.

• Empty everything. A crucial part of any organizing project (as you are very familiar with at this point in the challenge) is that everything must come out! This can seem overwhelming, but trust me, the only way to truly organize a space is to clear it out and start with a clear, clean, fresh space.

• Vacuum, sweep, and wipe down all of the shelves and drawers

• Decide what you will keep. Only put items you intend to keep in this closet in the ‘keep’ bin.

• Group like items with like. You may want to skip ahead and take a look at our deep dive section of this post for some tips on how to store certain items to maximize the space in your linen closet.

• Put everything back – Group items that belong together, and then store them in your linen closet, considering how often you use each item. You want the items you use most frequently up front and easy to find and put away.

• Label, label, label. I can’t stress this enough. Labeling your containers will make putting items back into your closet a breeze and will also make them so much easier to find when you need them.

• Mark your calendar. Each year, take some time to clear out, declutter, freshen, and organize your linen closet.

I love this idea! If you don’t have an armoire or cabinet, use under-the-bed boxes to create your linen storage.

Now that you have cleaned out, decluttered, and sorted the items in your linen closet, here are some storage and organization products and ideas to help you put it all back together beautifully.

Deep Dive: 5 Pro tips for setting up your linen closet

These pro tips will help you keep your linen closet organized all year round. You wouldn’t want all your hard work to go to waste now, would you? These organizing tips and additions will help you keep your linen closet perfectly organized.

• Add bins for bedding. Create a basket for each bedroom in your house to store the sheets and pillowcases that belong there. This makes putting laundry away a breeze and makes matching sets a no-brainer. We love these bins with these labels.

• Roll large linens if you are storing off-season or extra duvets; rolling them up like a sleeping bag instead of folding and stacking them can save you a lot of room in your linen closet. Alternatively, consider storing your extra duvets or bulkier bedspreads under the bed in a container that prevents dust.

• Toiletry Basket. Instead of letting your stock of toiletries or guest toiletries float around loose in the closet, create a bin or box to hold these items. This way, you won’t have bottles of shampoo, lotions, and skincare tipped over near your fabrics. You also won’t have to dig around in search of these smaller items when you need them,

• Rolling towels. Rolling up hand towels and washcloths and storing them in a bin, we like this one saves a ton of space and keeps everything all together.

• Tall baskets. We all need backups of items that no one really wants to look at, like toilet paper rolls and tissue boxes. Use tall bins or baskets to do double duty of holding and hiding these items.

Conclusion

Your linen closet gets a lot of use. From changing sheets to getting a fresh towel to preparing guest rooms for overnighters, you are always counting on your linen closet to hold the things you need every day. Taking the time to do this linen closet organizing challenge will give you more organization and more space in this workhorse of a closet in your home.
