Storage Units for Household Linens


Book Description

Current building trends toward compact houses-many without basement or attic-and increased acceptance of functional planning have focused attention on the need for planned storage areas. One aspect of a coordinated program of research on farm housing, which is now underway, was designed to meet this need, first by determining what farm families actually store, and then by interpreting storage needs in terms of space requirements. Some of the findings related to the storage of household linens are reported here.
