Let’s face it. Doing the laundry is nobody’s hobby, so much that we put it off time and again until the things you’re supposed to wash gets piled up in the laundry room. Add that to the fact that most of us haven’t really put much thought in making this busy space organised and the work becomes even more tiring!
Considering the amount of time we spend doing laundry, this room deserves a bit more attention and organisation. That way working in this area shouldn’t feel so much like a chore, no matter how big or small the space is.
How do you do make this often small space more workable and shall we say pleasant? Here are some laundry hacks that you can do at your place.
Hang storage racks or shelves on the walls
You might want to forget putting up wall decorations that contribute only to aesthetics and fail to add to the functionality of the room. Instead, put up some handy storage racks or shelving which could hold your miscellaneous laundry supplies, sprays and liquids and even orphan socks. There are so many ideas to choose from that we may need to take a closer look.
Attach a drying rack to the ceiling
The ceiling is one of the most commonly overlooked areas, but it could actually help you with organising. You can attach a drying rack that is suspended from the ceiling, which could carry some of the heavy clothes. The roof has many studs that can be used to affix heavier items. Be sure to get a professional to install a drying rack to ensure it’s safe. Now that’s functional and stylish.
Create shelves in corners
Even the smallest corners can have a renewed sense of purpose by creating shelves. It can be a good place to put light materials that you use while doing the laundry, such as detergent and fabric conditioner.
Install a fold-away ironing/ folding board
You can avoid pulling out a heavy ironing board by simply building a fold-away version attached to the wall. It can even double up as a folding station, and after you’re done you simply fold it back. You just saved space!
Curtains help separate space
If you want to create the illusion of a multi-room laundry area, consider putting up curtains. Not only do they hide your washer or dryer when not in use, but it can create a good scenery while you commence folding clothes.
Put hooks or baskets behind the door
If you want to maximise laundry storage, the back of your door can help. Put hooks or baskets behind it and you have another functional space for storing small materials. You can even put a coin bottle for spare change left in the clothes you’re supposed to wash!
Consider getting a rolling laundry basket dresser
Here’s a genius way to keep moving while remaining organised. Get a rolling laundry basket dresser which will follow you wherever you go while it holds layers of clothes you’re going to be washing. You won’t have to go back and forth with this neat trick.
Build a retractable clothes line
For those who have lots of clothes, a retractable clothes line can help. Pull it out when you need extra hanging space, and then put it back in the cabinet when you’re done.
Doing the laundry shouldn’t be boring. You can make it fun and stylish with these simple laundry tips, and you should love doing it a bit more.
