How to Size a Tall Linen Cabinet from ARIEL Bath

How do you size and fit a linen cabinet?

Size a linen cabinet by measuring your available space, confirming the footprint and height fit with room to open the door and drawers, then matching the finish and collection to your vanity.

ARIEL Bath's linen cabinet comes in one standard size, 20 inches wide, 16 inches deep, and 65 inches tall, so most of the work is checking that size against your space and coordinating the look.

This guide follows three steps: measure your space, check the fit and plan your storage, then match the piece to your vanity. It covers our freestanding linen cabinet, also called a linen tower, which is furniture you place and can move, rather than a built-in linen closet framed into the wall.

ARIEL linen cabinet comes in three collections that share the same size but differ in how the storage is configured:

• Cambridge: a classic look with a hinged upper door over four drawers.

• Hepburn: a modern style with a hinged upper door over four drawers.

• Milan: a contemporary form with open upper shelving over three drawers.

Because the configuration changes by collection, a couple of steps below note where Cambridge and Hepburn differ from Milan.

Step 1: Measure your space

Find the floor spot and the height you have, then confirm the cabinet fits with room to use it. The linen tower needs a footprint of about 20 inches wide by 16 inches deep, plus 65 inches of height, in every collection.

1. Footprint and height

Measure the width and depth of the spot where the cabinet will stand. You need at least 20 inches of width and 16 inches of depth on the floor. Then measure the height to anything above that spot, such as a window sill, wall sconce, or sloped ceiling, and confirm you have room for the 65-inch height.

2. Clearance

Clearance depends on the design types of each collection. ARIEL Cambridge and Hepburn collections have a hinged upper door, so leave room for it to swing open. ARIEL Milan collection uses open upper shelving with no door. 

All three collections have drawers, so leave room to pull them out fully. In every case, add enough space to stand in front and reach the shelves comfortably.

3. Placement

Because the cabinet is floor-standing, it can go anywhere with a level spot against a wall: next to the vanity, along a free wall, or in a corner. Adjustable leveling feet keep it steady on an uneven floor, and anti-tip protection holds it securely in place. If you choose Cambridge or Hepburn, place it where the door has room to open.

By the end of this step you know whether the standard size fits your space. The next step is planning what goes inside.

Step 2: Check the fit and plan your storage

Each ARIEL collection stores linens in an upper section over drawers below, so plan your storage around both. In the Cambridge and Hepburn collections, the upper section sits behind a hinged door with an adjustable shelf; in the Milan collection, the upper section is open shelving.

The 16-inch depth holds folded bath towels and linens without leaving hard-to-reach space at the back, and the drawers below hold smaller folded items.

The shelf in the upper section adjusts to three different heights, so you can set it high for stacked towels or lower it for smaller essentials. That lets one linen tower handle different storage needs as they change over time.

A few build details shape how the cabinet holds up and installs, and these are shared across all three collections:

• Solid wood construction with a water-resistant finish, which suits a humid bathroom and resists wear.

• Soft-close, smooth operation on the door and drawers, so they open and close quietly.

• Anti-tip protection and adjustable leveling feet for stable, secure placement.

• Fully assembled on arrival, with hardware included, so there is no build required.

• Backed by a 3-year warranty.

If a floor-standing cabinet does not fit your space, ARIEL Bath also offers other storage that uses different areas of the room. For example, a wall cabinet mounts off the floor to use wall space, and a 24-inch drawer cabinet holds folded items and smaller essentials in drawers.

Step 3: Match the linen cabinet to your vanity

Match the linen tower to your vanity by finish and collection so the two read as one set. Because the cabinet is a fixed 20 inches wide, matching is about the look rather than the size.

1.Finish

Our tall linen cabinet is available in seven finishes: White, Grey, Blue, Black, Dark Brown, Oak, and Green, with more than one shade in several of them. Choose the finish that matches or complements your ARIEL vanity.

2. Collection

The linen tower comes in three collections, each with its own design and storage configuration. Choose the collection that suits your vanity and how you want to store your linens:

• Cambridge: a classic look, with a hinged upper door over four drawers for concealed storage.

• Hepburn: a modern style, with a hinged upper door over four drawers.

• Milan: a contemporary form, with open upper shelving over three drawers for display and easy reach.

3. Matching set

The simplest way to match is a vanity and linen tower combo set, where the 20-inch linen cabinet is paired with a vanity for a coordinated look and a combined footprint of 69 to 94 inches. 

For example, a 73-inch vanity paired with the 20-inch linen cabinet gives a 93-inch set.

Conclusion

Fitting a linen cabinet comes down to three steps: measure your space and confirm the 20-by-16-by-65-inch tower fits with room for the door and drawers to open, plan your storage across the upper section and drawers, then match the finish and collection to your vanity. 

Cambridge and Hepburn linen tower collections give you concealed storage behind a door, while Milan linen collection keeps the upper shelves open, and an ARIEL vanity and linen tower set is the simplest way to coordinate the two pieces.

Once you know the tall linen cabinet fits your space, you can compare finishes and collections directly.
