Where do you store throws/blankets?

Do you put these in a spare closet, basement, attic?  I'm not keen on putting them in the attic and I probably have too many blankets and throws to be honest.  What do you do with yours?

Mine fit nicely in the large linen closet in the hall.   We prefer cotton quilts on our beds instead of blankets.

I love quilts too.  My closets for linens aren't very deep and are filled with other stuff so I can't use them for blankets.

Whoever built our home has some great ideas..  Each of our bedrooms has it's own linen closet in addition to clothes closets.  So storing each room's bedding is never a problem.

Some I put in underbed storage tubs and the rest go on the shelves above the clothes racks in our closets. Our 2 daughters are grown so I have their 2 bedroom closets for extra storage. Smiley Happy

We have several guest bedrooms with sleep sofas in them.  I place a throw folded nicely on the arm or side of each sofa.  The same with the family room sofas.

 

As for blankets I have not found a good place for them so they are folded and each guest room closet and our blanket is on our bed.

I guess I am lucky.  I have storage "benches" in each room where I place out of season linens for each area of my home.  I even have them in the living room to place afghans /throws when I change them.  I also have downsized, so I have only one set of sheets (per season) for each bedroom. My linen closet is only large enough for a few towels.

we use quilts for the beds so I use a quilt rack for a few and the rest are in the linen closet or a storage bench

I bought some storage ottomans for my extra blankets The ottomans are useful and it's very easy to grab a blanket out when needed. I have two larger bench ottomans at the end of the bed for linens and two smaller ottomans in the living room for blankets and throws for the couch.

Some are in the smallish linen closet. Most are on the shelving in the guest bedroom closet, which also serves as my "extra" clothing space.
