Ideas for a beautiful and compact bedding storage

Neatly folded things can be no less beautiful than a specially designed interior decor. But many are concerned about the practical side of the issue - how to fold the bedding compactly so as not to occupy extra centimeters in a small closet. These two points can be successfully combined - but you need to know a few secrets.

In a pillowcase

Storage of linen in a pillowcase allows you to sort it by sets and immediately see the picture. In addition, with such storage, pillowcases do not occupy a separate place in the closet.

You need to act like this:

1. fold the duvet cover exactly to the corner several times, fold the resulting rectangle into a pillowcase;
2. lay the sheet and the second pillowcase in the same way;
3. turn the free side of the pillowcase down;
4. place the received envelope on a shelf for storing linen.

By the method of Marie Condo

Japanese Marie Kondo has developed her own way of folding and storing laundry. Apartments in Japan, like furniture, do not differ in a large amount of free space, which places stringent conditions in the organization of storage of linen.

The main principles of the method:

• minimum space for each item;
• retrieving any item without breaking the order;
• all items in the cabinet should be visible.

The author of the idea offers the following instructions for cleaning the cabinet:

1. Shelves are freed, and linen is moved to the subject of the old and unnecessary - that which will be thrown away.
2. Sets are sorted into categories: pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets are recommended to be stored in different piles.
3. Things are stacked so that they are all available for viewing, and so that when removing one of them the order of the others is not disturbed: for this they are folded in a rectangle and stored in an upright position.

In the form of a roll

For vertical storage in deep drawers, on deep shelves, etc., the roll storage method is used. This method is good because all sets become available for review, and when pulling out one of them, the storage structure is not violated.

1. The duvet cover folds in length so that a narrow strip forms.
2. In the same way, the sheet is folded and placed on top of the duvet cover.
3. At will, one or both pillowcases are laid.
4. The set folds into a tight roll and folds into a loose pillowcase or is beautifully tied with a ribbon.
5. Rolls are placed vertically in a box or stacked with a pyramid on a shelf. When one of the rolls of linen is removed, the structure does not collapse, and new clean rolls are placed in the vacated space.

Book Shelf Method

The method is that the stacked sets are not arranged in the usual "horizontal" way - the linen is placed on the shelf, like books, vertically. This method is suitable for narrow cabinets with a large number of shelves, for storing linen in drawers of bedroom furniture or ottomans.

Nuances and Tips

Correctly storing bedding means not only gently folding it into a closet or chest of drawers, but also taking into account a number of related factors.

• If possible, it is better to store linen not just on shelves, but using baskets and boxes.
• Vacuum bags for long-term storage protect against dust, harmful insects and fading.
• You should not store linen in plastic bags (even if it is the package in which the kit was sold) - it can become damp and get an unpleasant odor of mustiness.
• On a shelf or in a storage box, you can put the remnants of solid soap, citrus peels, aromatic sachets to smell and scare away moths and other insects.
• Only completely dry things are cleaned in the closet.
• For each berth, it is advisable to have at least 3 sets of bed linen.
• It is recommended to store linen turned inside out.

Each housewife chooses the method of folding and storing bedding that is convenient for her. None of the proposed options can be considered a reference, since each was designed for a certain number of things and the dimensions of the furniture. The main thing in this matter is the maintenance of order and the regular change of bedding sets.
