Does your linen closet betray your otherwise neat-and-tidy home? It can be a challenge to keep sheet sets organized amongst duvets, towels and blankets, but leave it to Martha (who else?) to find the smartest, simplest solution.

Just place your folded sheet sets inside one of its pillowcases and stack. Voilà! A perfectly presentable linen closet you won’t mind showing off to guests. Now, how do you fold a fitted sheet again?

    So those are sheets inside the pillowcases! That explains it. I thought those were pillows. I got curious when I saw the picture and I was wondering why you wrote “storing sheet” and put a picture of pillows.lol

    This is brilliant! I hate having a messy linen closet and not knowing which sheets fit which mattress until it’s been unfolded. Thanks for sharing! – Ali

    I love love love this idea!! I was trying it but I didn’t get mine to look as good inside the pillow cases… Did you fold part of the pillow case. I feel like I’m missing something. Please advise.

      Erika: I would say that it depends on the size of your linen closet. If you tuck the pillow case ends in, it would hold the sheets tidier.

    Thank you so much! That’s kind of what I thought but I wanted to hear from the expert! 🙂

    I’ve done this for years. One more suggestion: I fold the ends of my pillow case under for a neater look or if you don’t have enough of the pillow case to turn under put the opening to the back of the cabinet to have a better look.
