Storage problems in the home take on many forms, but none of them should remain as problems, as all have ready made solutions. Many of the things that need to be stored in the home have been the same for centuries, while others, such as kitchen appliances and CDs have accompanied new technology and are therefore a recent “problem”. One storage need that has been around for many centuries is the need for somewhere to store the household linen.

The idea of a linen cabinet goes back a long way, and is a traditional wooden furniture item for the home. Every home has a need to store bed linen, and a specific cabinet for that purpose has been a household necessity for a long time. Furthermore, the term linen has grown to embrace bath towels as well, and bathroom linen cabinets have evolved as a result.

Thanks to the long term history of the linen cabinet, many of the linen cabinets today are still fine wooden furniture with elegant designs, although cheaper modern cabinets for linen are also widely available. One thing you need to be careful of is the suitability of the wood for a moist environment if you plan to use it as a bathroom linen cabinet.

A fine example of a traditional looking cabinet for bathroom linen is the Belle Foret BF80016 Linen Storage Cabinet for Bathroom in dark cherry. This is an attractive piece of wooden furniture that sells for about $750, and has antique brass cabinet hardware. Standing 73 inches high, it will accommodate a substantial amount of linen and towels. Also for the bathroom, the Antique White Bathroom / Laundry Room / Bedroom Linen Storage Organizer Cabinet / Armoire from AntiquedWhite is more modestly priced at about $230, but stands only 61 inches high. It has louvered doors, wooden knobs, and is made from a mix of soft and hardwoods.

For a traditional linen cabinet for a bedroom, closet or other room or hallway, the Craftsman Corner Linen Storage Cabinet with Glass Door from the Home Decorators Collection will help utilize corner space while providing linen storage cabinet space. It has an oak finish and sells at about $250, which seems quite good value for an attractive corner linen cabinet. Also from the Home Decorators Collection and priced slightly less at about $230 is the Hampton Bay 22"w Standard Linen Storage Cabinet, which is made from solid wood and boasts crown molding and recessed panel doors.
