Fully agree with melba about keeping cloths where they are going to be used. If you have a built in wardrobe, then the top shelf is real resource. My ‘linen cupboard’ is used for other things as it’s connected to a larger cupboard that houses the vacuum cleaner and shopping trolleys etc. and the smell of dust was contaminating my linens so I had to find another solution.
I found that a fitted sheet, flat sheet and 1 pillowcase fits nicely in the other pillowcase to make a neat flat bundle. Other linens likewise can be packed into useful bundles or rolled up. I put small tensioning rods in the top wardrobe shelf just far enough apart to hold these bundles oriented vertically, making each easily accessible while taking up a minimum of space. I found I needed two rods to make a vertical division that holds securely. The lovely thing about these rods is they are completely removable when you move out. They can’t hold much weight when installed horizontally, but are completely fine to control sideways movement of an object when installed vertically. eg stop it tipping over. And you can change the spacing to suit your needs.
Curtain/blind shops have them, as they are intended to hold lightweight lace curtains etc. on metal window frames that you can’t screw into. Maybe Bunnings too but I haven’t looked there.
Have been considering using them in my pantry to control stacks of tins etc. but I need to get more. The very small ones are the ones I use, and they can be hard to find.
