If you’re anything like us, you have more than one size of bed in your house. We happen to have one of each size: a king, a queen, a couch that folds out into a full, and a twin.

This means that we have sheets in four different sizes. And because we live where it gets cold in the wintertime, we generally have a set of cotton sheets as well as a set of flannel sheets for each of the beds. This makes it so we have a lot of sheets.

I fold my sheets and tuck them inside of a corresponding pillow case in order to keep the sets together (which, honestly, is one of the challenges of having so many sheet sets). Tucking them inside not only helps with organization, but it also helps things to stay folded and keeps my closet neater.

That said, it’s not always easy for me to remember the sizes of the sheet sets we don’t use very often. For instance, the sheets that fit on the fold-out bed and those that fit on our guest bed.

My solution to this is to place a small piece of masking tape with a label on it, letting me know the size of the sheets. This way, I don’t have to unfold one of the sheets and try to guess which bed it will fit on (queen and full sheets can look remarkably similar). Instead, I can simply look at the labels, grab the one I want, and get on to making the bed.

It may not seem like a lot, but being able to find the sheets I need when I need them, and to not have to worry about toppling over a huge pile of loose sheets in the process, simplifies my life.

How do you organize your linen closet so you can find what you need quickly and easily?
