Laundry areas are typically one of the smaller spaces in the house, so think vertical to maximize functionality.
Consider installing a retractable clothesline or expandable closet rod in an unused nook to hang permanent press garments for drying. Decorative hooks provide an attractive and practical storage solution for holding laundry bags while separating soiled linens or sorting clean clothes.
If your laundry area lacks cabinetry, installing shelving is a perfect alternative, but store the cleaning supplies in a decorative caddy to minimize clutter and prevent the bottles from tipping over. Really short on space? Try a built-in ironing board that cleverly tucks away in a drawer while not in use.
