Don’t let the toilet paper rolls roll around. Get a jute basket from your local Dollar Store, and store all the rolls in it in an organized manner in your linen closet.
Almost everything is wired in this storage! Use the wired baskets to segregate the items on the wired shelves inside your closet.
Now arrange everything according to the frequency of their usage—keep the least used ones on the topmost shelf, the heaviest ones on the bottom, often used ones in the middle, and so on.
Wired baskets will also offer you an easy view of what’s stored where.
Bedding surely can’t be overlooked! Segregate the bedding in uniform boxes and tag them too! Place them on the closet shelves as per their seasonal needs.
Use the back of the linen closet door to store bathroom supplies. Install some racks from the Dollar Store there and put everything in according to their intended purpose.
