Current building trends toward compact houses-many without basement or attic-and increased acceptance of functional planning have focused attention on the need for planned storage areas. One aspect of a coordinated program of research on farm housing, which is now underway, was designed to meet this need, first by determining what farm families actually store, and then by interpreting storage needs in terms of space requirements. Some of the findings related to the storage of household linens are reported here.

For convenience, household linens should be stored at or near the place where they are most likely to be used --table linens in the dining area, sheets and pillowcases near the bedrooms, and bath towels in or near the bathroom. Designs for storage units that provide the necessary space are shown, or you can develop other designs by using the interior dimensions given and make allowances for the type of construction you plan to use.
