Laundry Room Tips to Make Your Life Easier
Home organization is a fun lifestyle topic when discussing hacks on how to have the perfect bedroom, living room or spa-like bathroom. However, the less glitzy areas of our homes are often not treated with the same level of attention. If no one is going to see your laundry room, why bother? Like the kitchen it is a room that needs to function well. These four tips will show you that streamlining your laundry room/space can make it a better place to use.
Storage Tailored to You
Whether you have a full-fledged laundry room, basement unit or closet unit in the hallway, storage is essential. Shelving above the unit is a great option if you have a laundry room or a basement washing station. This method utilizes available wall space and makes grabbing for products simple. If you have a hall closet unit it can be a trickier task to make storage space. For this type of unit try storing your detergent in a nearby linen closet or a piece of furniture. A simple stand-alone cabinet could be a great disguise for your laundry necessities. Hide them away in the cabinet drawer and you’ve got easy storage space.
Lint Catcher/Trashcan
Many companies make specific wall hanging lint traps for your laundry space. That way you don’t accidentally leave lint in the dryer or hanging around. In the whirl of life, we can get distracted and make more of a mess in the process of tidying. A small wall hanging lint trap will be in arms reach to ensure you never forget. Also keeping a small trash can in your laundry room could be a quick fix if you don’t want to bring another product into your home.
Laundry Bin Nearby
Keeping an extra laundry bin nearby is a must. This way if you have a load that needs to be separated or want to quickly toss an item or two, the correct place for it is never too far away. An extra bin allows you to think before you wash!
Keep Specialty Items in Farther Reach
Having your detergent not too far from reach is an obvious hack. However not cluttering up your space with the many bottles you have for stain removal or specialty items can be just as beneficial. Keeping them in a harder to get to position can make sure you utilize your space efficiently.
I hope these tips will help you with your laundry room. Decluttering these obscure spaces in our house can be just as beneficial as a tidy living room. Laundry is a part of life so why not enjoy the space and plan it with care!
