She said: “If you have tons of old towels hanging around, you can recycle them as cleaning rags. Otherwise, get rid of them!”
Next, you need to categorise each item and stack them into piles of pillowcases, sheets and towels.
Steph added: “This way, it’s easier to allocate areas of the closet into categories and also maintain a functional but appealing space.”
Once you’ve done this, now it’s time to divide them into sub-categories – so in Steph’s case, she’s done adult bedding, kids’ bedding, towels and miscellaneous items like beach blankets and weekend bags.
When you’re happy with your piles, place them into storage tubs to prevent them falling over and getting messy in your cupboard.
She added: “One main reason for using tubs is the fact you can hide any mismatched items or anything that can look potentially ‘messy’ on an open shelf, such as kids’ towels, beach towels, pillowcases, fitted sheets, etc.”

Although the last step is optional, Steph always labels her tubs so she knows exactly what’s in them – plus, it doesn’t hurt that they look great on Instagram too.
She added: “Alternatively, if you don’t want to use tubs, you can blu-tack labels onto the actual shelf edge to keep track of where everything is stored.”
