Recently this Seattle interior designer designed the remodel of a combined powder/guest bath. In this project a small linen closet is an important addition to the storage solution. During the client interview we determined what must be included.

Whether you’re investigating what’s buried on the shelves of your linen closet or organizing one for the first time, I compiled the basics for your review. The number of beds in your home determines the quantity of basics for each bed.

For each bed you need the following:

• A quality mattress pad-preferably cotton
• Pillowcase covers-ideally with zippers
• A summer and a winter blanket
• A down comforter depending on your location
• Two minimum sets of sheets (three for a splurge) - one on the bed, one available with each including a fitted and flat sheet
• A blanket or duvet or both - the blanket is tucked in exposing the skirt with sheets folded over; the duvet is neatly folded at the foot
• King beds require 3 standard pillows (my opinion) and 3 Euro square pillows
• Queen beds require 2 standard pillows, 2 Euro squares (decorative pillows are additional)
• Consider keeping a hypoallergenic pillow on hand as well as extra firm for guest preferences
• Two of every size towel per person using a bathroom ( again you can splurge with three)
• Consider extra hand towels and wash clothes for children’s bathrooms
• Of course, an inflatable AEROBED for surprise guests or sleepovers
• Lavender scented liners or candles for an extra touch.
