How to Store Blankets Without a Closet

Do you have a lot of blankets, very little closet space, and no clue how to store your blankets? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this blog post, we will give you tips and tricks on how to store your blankets without a closet. Whether you have a small apartment or just don’t want to take up space in your closet with blankets, these tips will help!

Store Your Blankets Under Furniture

One of the easiest ways to store blankets is under furniture. This is especially helpful if you have a small apartment or limited storage space. Simply tuck your blankets under your bed, couch, or any other piece of furniture.

We recommend using under furniture storage containers like these. This will keep them out of the way and off the floor. You can also use this method to store extra pillows. Simply tuck them under your furniture and they’ll be out of sight but still within easy reach.

Keep Your Blankets in Baskets

Another great way to store blankets is in baskets. This is a great option if you want to be able to see your blankets and easily grab one when you need it. Baskets also offer some protection from dust and other elements.

If you’re using baskets, make sure they’re big enough to fit your blankets and that you fold them nicely to keep them neat. You can also line the baskets with a cloth to keep your blankets from picking up dirt or keep your animals from paying at them.

Drape them Over Furniture

If you have larger blankets, you can store them over furniture. This is a great way to save space and keep your blankets within easy reach. Simply drape them over the back of a chair or couch. 

You can also use this method to store throw blankets as well. This is a great way to add color and texture to your decor.

Vacuum Bags are Great for Blanket Storage

If you need to store your blankets long-term, vacuum bags are a great option. They take up very little space and will keep your blankets clean and free of dust. Simply fold your blankets and place them in the vacuum bag. Seal the bag, vacuum the air out, and store it in a cool, dry place.

You can find vacuum bags at most stores that sell storage containers. We recommend using clear bags so you can easily see what’s inside.

Use Them As Decor with a Blanket Ladder

If you have the space, you can hang your blankets on a blanket rack. This is a great way to keep them organized and out of the way. It also allows you to use them as part of your decor.

A blanket ladder is a great way to display your blankets while still keeping them within easy reach. This is also a great option if you have children who like to play with your blankets. Simply drape the blankets over the rungs of the ladder and they’ll be out of the way but still within reach.

You can find decorative ladders for blankets online or at most home goods stores.

Make an Ottoman Do Double Duty to Store Blankets

If you’re short on space, a storage ottoman can be a great way to store extra blankets. Simply put your blankets in the ottoman and use it as a footrest or coffee table. When you need a blanket, simply take it out of the ottoman and use it.

Alternatively, you could use a storage bench, this would be perfect at the foot of a bed.

Both are great options if you have pets that like to sleep on your blankets. Simply put the blankets in the ottoman and they’ll be out of reach of your pets.

Use Tension Rods

If you have a small space that isn’t quite a closet, you can use tension rods to create more space. Simply put the tension rods up and hang your blankets on them. This will take up less space than a blanket rack and you can still use the blankets as part of your decor.

Just make sure the tension rods are strong enough to hold the weight of your blankets. We also recommend using hooks or loops to keep the blankets in place.

Use a Garment Rack

If you have a garment rack, you can use it to store your blankets. This is a great option if you have larger blankets or if you need to store them long-term. Simply hang the blankets on the garment rack and they’ll be out of the way but still within reach.

Consider Getting a Dresser for Your Linens

If you have a lot of blankets, consider getting a dresser for your linens. This is a great way to store everything in one place and keep it organized. You can also use the dresser to store other things like towels and sheets.

Make sure you fold everything neatly and in a way that you can see everything. If you have to go “hunting” in the dresser it won’t stay neat for very long.

Shelves Are Great for Storage

If you have a bit more space, you can store your blankets on a shelf. This is a great option if you want to be able to see all of your blankets at once so you can easily grab one when you need it.

Be sure to fold your blankets nicely so they look neat on the shelf. You can also use cute baskets or bins on the shelves to store smaller items and keep the shelf from looking too cluttered.

There are many ways to store blankets without a closet. These are just a few of the most popular blanket storage ideas. Be creative and come up with storage options that work best for you and your home. With a little bit of thought, you can easily find a place to store all of your blankets.
