It’s one of the most frequently asked questions in decluttering groups: how many towels and bed sheets do you use? Well, the funny answer is, usually one at a time.
The more serious answer is two per person in the household, plus one extra set for frequent visitors. A good guideline is the number of guest beds or rooms you have, but you’ll only need one set for each.
If you search online for this answer, you’ll find recommendations for three sets (one in use, one in the laundry, one in the closet). However, I believe that with most households using dryers and doing more frequent laundry, the one in the closet feels like a “just in case” item. You can give yourself permission to let go of it.
Invest in higher-quality items and natural materials. Quality over quantity. You’ll enjoy the longevity, a better sleep and will have more space in your closet.
