1. Drip dry clothing without creating a mess
You probably have a few items of clothing that would benefit from a gentle drip dry rather than a tumble in a heated tub. But if "drip dry" to you means hanging clothes on the shower bar and spreading out towels to catch the water, you are missing out on one of the most convenient features available. Cabinets or shelves mounted above a laundry utility sink allow you to instal a hanging bar underneath. That’s the perfect space for your delicate clothing to dry.
2. Choose a top or front load washing machine
When you plan to redo your laundry area, you need to think about whether you will be buying new appliances or sticking with the older ones. If you plan to invest in new ones, start researching and reading reviews, as they will help you select the best quality appliances. For instance, if a washer is economically priced but has low ratings, it's best to skip that deal at the appliance store.
You must first decide which of the washers you prefer before committing to any of them.This is because you have two options: top loader or front loader.
Top-loader: the door of a top-loading washer is located on the top of the machine. Tall people often opt for top-loading washers as shorter people face difficulty reaching clothes at the bottom of the machine.
Front-loading washers have an outward-opening door on the front of the machine. This offers easy access to short-heeled people. Taller ones usually need to bend a lot if they opt for front-load washers. So, you need to decide very carefully before you make a decision to buy a washer.
3. Opt for a laundry baskets
It is always better to use small woven or fabric baskets to store your laundry supplies like dryer sheets, stain sticks, and lint rollers. This will not just keep your laundry space organized, but it will also make it easy for you to find things. Decorative storage bins are also a simple and affordable way to add colour and texture to your laundry room. You can even label baskets with your family member’s name so that they keep their clothes in the baskets that have their names. This will not let clothes pile up in your laundry space, thus helping you make your laundry space quite organized.
4. Integrate a built in work table in your laundry space
Work tables and rolling carts are handy to have in a laundry room. You can use them to not just sort clothes but also fold and iron them. If you do not have enough space for a small table and you have front-loading appliances, you can instal a counter top on top of your washer and dryer.
