How to: organise and store bed linen

Keeping linen organised can be a bit frustrating! I keep mine in a drawer under the bed. Quickly finding what I need can sometimes take time:

I thought I'd share a great tip that I saw somewhere online. Take a pillowcase from any duvet set (and no, I never iron mine, I cover my bed with a nice bedspread!)

Next,  put your folded duvet cover, sheet and other matching pillowcases inside the pillowcase. Then, fold it  in half for neat and tidy storage:

Now your bed sets will have their own storage 'compartments' and will be easier to grab!

Quick fix for tidying: hanging up washing up gloves

Earlier I posted a tip on how to organise necklaces. I used adhesive hooks as part of the tip, and have some left over. I've used one of them to hang up my washing up gloves, with a bulldog clip:

 

I can now store them away under the sink instead of leaving them on the dish rack where they never seem to dry properly, and have occasionally been known to fall into a basin full of water!

Quick fix for tidying: organising necklaces

There are a few necklaces that I often wear  that are a bit too bulky for a necklace stand. I've got an easy and cheap way of storing them away where I can access them quickly when I want to.



I used 2 adhesive hooks - these were part of a set of 20 which cost £1:

 

I positioned them inside a cupboard door, making sure to check that they were at a height where I could see each one, and easily grab the one I need. The result:

I'll be posting again later with another great use for the left over sticky hooks!
