linen closet

Sheets live here

A linen closet is a storage space, typically a small closet with shelves, for storing household textiles—sheets, towels, blankets, tablecloths.

Despite the name, the contents are rarely actual linen: Check the linen closet for extra pillowcases.

Most homes have one near the bedrooms or bathroom.
