Default Linen closets?

Looking at the floor plans of the various homes I don't see any linen closets. I'm sure there is an area in the master bath for towels but where do the extra towels go in the other baths and where are the sheets stored? I know they can be put on the shelves of the bedroom closets but that area could be used for other things...questions, questions. One solution would be to have one set of sheets and two towels...that would solve that problem

I use the closet in the hall right outside the 2nd bedroom. I have a lantana. Both towels and sheets for the Mbedroom fit in the Mbathroom closet.

Default Closets

There are only 1 or 2 floor plans that I know of that have coat closets, but I think most of them have linen closets. Maybe you are looking at the plans online and assuming they are coat/guest closets.

We have a CYV and there is a large linen closet in the hallway outside the guest bath and guest bedroom. We also have a large pantry and keep the vacuum cleaner/shark/swiffer in there.

We have a couple of sets of hooks in our laundry room for a light jacket, maybe also a rain jacket. Really just use those in winter. Keep heavier jackets in our 3rd bedroom closet for the occasional need and if we need to go back north in wintertime. If guests need to hang up coats, we use the hooks or just lay them on top of the washer/dryer.

I don't have a coat closet but I do have a large linen closet, next to the guest bathroom.

Default Lots of space

We have a Gardenia and we have a smaller linen closet in the hallway near the guest bathroom which holds a lot of linens. Also, a closet in the master bath for towels. We find it more than enough room for all of our linens......4 sets of sheets, 8 sets of towels, washcloths and hand towels. Also enough room to store medicines and other toiletries. We do find that the wire hamper provided in the master bath is a waste of space. It's far too small to be efficient.

Agree 100%. Just enough space, but that wire "hamper" is worthless.

You will find that "CLOSET" space.... make that storage space of all types...is at a premium for almost all models and types of home with the exception of Premieres.

We have a linen closet in the guest bath in our At Ease. We also put a cabinet in our master closet (which is huge) for all the extras. I have more storage than I need right now, but I'm sure I will fill it up :-)

Ok, here's another question. We have a jasmine, where do you put your trash can? No room under sink because of the way the pipes are configured.
