Okay… this has to be my favorite linen closet! Everything from the white metal containers on the top shelf to the wire baskets on the bottom, it has such a cute farmhouse vibe to it. Plus, I’m sure the soap bars and clothespins in the glass jars are really just for looks but I’m definitely going to copy that! If you’re going to a clean farmhouse look for your linen closet, then this is the one for you

I love how clean and simple this linen closet turned out! She did a complete makeover and also gives great tips so yours can turn out just as nice. With basic tips like using wired baskets so you can easily see what is inside, to using those large glass jars to store cotton balls and magic erasers… she really breaks down how to easily organize things. This is definitely something you could do in a couple of hours if you have all your storage containers and organizers picked. Clean out that messy closet with this tutorial in no time!

Already have wire shelves in your linen closet and just need some ideas for new organizers? If so, then this is the perfect tutorial for you! I love how she has a nice variety of baskets and bins with everything from those folding fabric bins up top… to the different sized woven baskets to hold just about anything. She also put one of those super easy command broom hooks on the back of the door to add even more functionality. Wire shelves and a variety of storage bins… I don’t think it gets easier than that!

For years, I’ve had a very small linen closet so I can totally relate to this one! I love how she used those high sided fabric bins and labeled them so she can easily figure out where things are. She then paired the bins with pulled out plastic drawers for the smaller things and labeled those as well! Everything is neatly stored and has its place to go back to once you’re done using it. Maximize that small space with these easy tips!

Now, this linen closet is goals… don’t you agree?! If you’re open to a DIY project and ready to break out the tools, then this one is going to be a great place to start! She did a complete makeover on this linen closet and I have to say… the before and after pictures make me jealous lol. She started by ripping out the old wire shelves, lining the entire closet with cedar planks and built new wood shelves with premade boards making it pretty quick. But it doesn’t end there! I love the wire baskets and the fabric bins with a “lid” giving it a super clean look. I can almost smell the cedar from here!

Speaking of removing wire shelves… This awesome bathroom linen closet makeover breaks down the entire process from start to finish! They used 15″ deep MDF boards and simple white brackets to build the five shelves which turned out amazing. I really love the wooden shelf look and then she went to town organizing all the contents of the closet

Using a mixture of metal bins, wire baskets, mason jars, and big woven bins… she really did a great job setting up each level. By placing the toilet paper (probably the most frequently accessed item) right in the middle and the larger bins on the bottom, you can tell that some thought was put into where things should go.

This is the perfect linen closet makeover if you want something more than just different organizers but don’t want to build your shelves! She started by removing the existing shelves and painted the brackets white to match which really made a big difference (the before and after pictures are awesome)

While everything was removed from the closet she also downsized all the extra sets of sheets and other things that weren’t really necessary. It’s always so satisfying to get rid of stuff your not using, or planning on using, anymore! After the downsizing, she then moved on to putting the larger organizers on the top and bottom shelves since those things aren’t accessed as much. Then finished everything off with those awesome fabric-lined baskets give the entire closet a very clean and fresh look. I love how this one turned out!

There’s nothing better than a simple organization job that you can knock out in a few hours! This is one of those… No painting or remodeling here, just pure organization. I’m really loving the wire baskets and the woven bins she used fit perfectly. Plus, that gray hamper on the bottom is such an easy way to collect dirty laundry and bring it to the washer all at once. Start your home organization with this easy tutorial!

Here’s another great makeover for those small hallway linen closets! I love the beachy / cottage vibe it has and that big toilet paper bin at the bottom is perfect. She found all the storage bins at Target so you could potentially get something like this done within a couple of hours… even including a (long) trip to Target. Like many of these tutorials, if you keep the larger items you don’t access much on the top and the ones you do need all the time in the middle, it will make your life so much easier. Organize your closet and hit the beach!

Going with a black and white theme for your linen closet?! If so, then this easy tutorial will definitely give you some ideas! I love how she kept the wire shelves and they look great with all the other black wire baskets further bringing together the color scheme. But my favorite organizer in this closet has to be the hamper on wheels at the bottom. If you have enough room or wan to make room by removing the bottom shelf, that is definitely something that will come in handy. Make those wire shelves blend in with this super fun tutorial!
