A bulky duvet can quickly overwhelm your closet, especially without the proper folding technique. Fortunately, this time-tested grandmother's method makes it effortless to create a compact bundle that maximizes storage space.
It's simple enough for anyone to master—follow these steps and transform your linen closet.
1. Lay the duvet flat in front of you.
2. Fold it in half, with the underside facing up.
3. Fold the top half toward you; prints should now be on top.
4. Flip this folded section back underneath.
5. Fold the duvet over one-third of its width.
6. Fold the remaining third over to match.
7. Lay the three-layered duvet flat in front of you.
8. Fold one end over a quarter of the length.
9. Fold again.
10. Fold once more.
11. Tuck the end into the first fold you created.
Your duvet is now neatly compacted, freeing up valuable closet space! This quick, efficient technique works perfectly for duvets, comforters, bedspreads, and blankets.
No more cluttered cupboards. For folding fitted sheets, try Grandma's clever trick too.
