What is the ideal height spacing of bathroom linen closet shelves?

It's time to install shelves in my new bathroom closet. I'm trying to figure out at what heights they should go, and how many there should be. Tentative plan inside.

My tentative plan is to have four 16"-deep shelves at heights (from the ground) of 14", 28", 42", 56", and then to have two 12"-deep shelves, installed at heights 70" and 84". (12" deep shelves at the top so I can more easily access things above the door frame at 80"). It seems to me that 14" between shelves would be a good height that would comfortably fit all bottles of shampoo etc. but not leave spare unused space (I'm trying to maximize storage). I will be mostly storing toiletries, but I will also have toilet paper in there, and probably towels/wash cloths. I think I will not have sheets/bedding in this linen closet however. This is my first time planning a linen closet, and I am realizing that I never paid much attention to past linen closets in rental houses etc., and how their particulars impacted functionality. Does this all seem reasonable based on your own linen closets and your experiences with them?
