I have a linen, call it storage, for all 3 baths.

We have master on main with no linen closet. I don’t miss it. But... I only have one se of sheets (i Just wash them and put them right back on.), and I keep one extra set of towels rolled up by the bathtub. If I felt the need for more storage,I would prefer in the master bathroom itself.

Linen section in master closet, or linen cabinet in master bath. Floor plan?

Hi Jeff, Im attaching the floor plan, we have made some minor changes. Not sure yet how much we can change. It is with production builder. critique if you would like, we are meeting with the design center in a few more weeks. Perhaps some ideas would help. https://secure.ml3ds-cloud.com/index.html#/floorplan/124093  The second floor has a game room addition, i am not sure it will show on this plan. https://secure.ml3ds-cloud.com/index.html#/floorplan/124093?floorId=152772

we added a few more windows, and a closet in the laundry room that goes in to one of the closets in the master. Also, screened in the patio area, added a workshop to the garage and the upstairs game room and change the corner fireplace to the center of the wall.

Linen closet in master bath here.

I have a guest room on the first floor and a hall linen closet. I use it for sheets for the guest room, and towels for the first floor full bath. It also holds all my flower vases on the upper two shelves!

On the 2nd floor, there is a large cupboard in my bathroom. All the bedding/towels for that bath are kept in it. It hold a LOT of bathroom "stuff"! In the second bedroom/bath, there is a large armoire and it holds all the sheets and towels for this room/bath.

When we lived in Los Angeles, we rented a house with the most wonderful linen closet in the 2nd floor hall. It was a walk-in linen closet, with shallow drawers for placemats, drawers for sheets and pillow cases, a very deep, tall shelf for blankets and comforters, and a space for tablecloths that were on a roller. Oh, how I loved that linen closet. I resisted the house about 19 years later, and discovered that it was now gone - owner used that space for a larger master bath that was behind it. Just broke my heart...

To me, the best linen closets are the ones that are built-in. One finds these in houses built between the turn of the century (19th & 20th!), through the 1930's. They are priceless! If I were building a house, this would be on my "must have" list.

Note the pull-out shelf for folding.

"...Do people generally have a 2nd linen closet on the main level?..."

Yes. If linens being easily accessible on the main level is important.

You have a pair of master closets, where a section can be built for linens, as well as an optional cabinet in the laundry, behind the optional door, an optional cabinet in the butler pantry, the lower could have drawers or roll outs for linen. Plenty of opportunities that aren't labeled.

Master on main floor with no linen closet. We keep a basket with hand and bath towels in master closet. We have 2 sets of sheets for bed. One is on bed other is in linen closet downstairs. I bring sheets that are on the bed down to laundry and grab clean sheets from linen closet. Not a big deal. Sometimes i just wash and put same sheets back on the bed.

Hi Jeff, yes, i know there are places to put linens. (Lots of cabinets in the laundry that we have opted in, and extra space in on of the master closets, i just thought it was odd, that there wasnt a dedicated linen closet and no dedicated medicine cabinets.
