Of all the ways you’d like to spend your weekend, Laundry Room probably doesn’t make the list. Not that you don’t squeeze in time for it anyway, and yet weekend or week day, it’s generally not perceived as a fun activity.
Well, we may not be able to inject fun into the process, but we can recommend ways to help simplify it for a few less headaches.
Consider the following tips.
Drying Rod –
Whether you’re handwashing delicates or simply don’t want to toss your favorite sweater in the dryer, a drying rod provides a creative solution. The rod can be installed between upper cabinets or directly on the wall. For added convenience, have it installed over the sink so wet clothes can drip right into it instead of on your counter or floor.
Pull-Down Rack –
If you prefer to line dry more than an item or two at a time, consider a pull-down or pull-out rack you can use for drip or flat drying.
Hidden Folding Counter –
If your laundry room has a smallish footprint, counter space may be limited. Make the most of the space by installing a pull-out folding counter under the counter top (think of it as a pull-out cutting board, but bigger!). This added space enables you to sort and fold laundry faster and easier.
Drying Drawers –
Need a solution that allows you to air dry as many pieces of clothing as possible? Turn lower cabinets into pull-out drying drawers. No more sweaters and blouses scattered about on flat surfaces throughout your home. When not in use, the drawers tuck discreetly away.
Built-In Ironing Board –
A staple of any home in the 1950s, a built-in or hanging ironing board is a great solution for laundry rooms large and small. Whether you iron daily or once in a blue moon, keep the board and iron within reach yet tucked neatly away so they don’t permanently take up valuable space.
