The depth of the closet is another factor.
My contracter put in a small linen closet about 16 deep but could have made it a bit deeper and i wish he had because most large bath towels the typical way i fold them don t fit well even on a 16 shelf if the shelf comes all the way to the door so the edges of towels and sheets kind of drip over.
In the process i figured out two ways to fold my towels.
The narrow towel fold works great on my 12 in shelf and the deep fold works great in our hall bath where the cabinet above.
