Clothes that need soaking also go in this basket.Ībove the bench, I have put up a floating shelf which holds 3 baskets. On top of the bench I keep a basket for delicate clothes that need to be hand washed. I do all my folding on this bench before the clothes leave the laundry room, I hate playing catch up with folding if I dump it somewhere else to ‘do later’. I made a bench to go over the top of the hampers to make best use of that space. We have three big hampers in our laundry room, for darks, lights and linen. There are also some hooks for our broom and mop and a garbage bin for all that dryer lint and pocket rubbish. In the side section of the cupboard we have some hangers for clean clothes and our ironing board. When the box is getting full, I throw them all in the machine together. This is for all our dirty kitchen cloths, tea towels and microfibre cloths. There is also a small hamper next to the vacuum cleaner. On this shelf I also have a big box with paper towel and a spare box of tissues.Ī big box with toilet paper is on the next shelf, with our empty washing baskets.ĭown the bottom is where we keep our vacuum cleaner. I have all the supplies I need in my cleaning caddy which makes cleaning my house so much easier. I have a bucket with vacuum attachments and extra mop pads on the next shelf, which is next to my cleaning caddy. The next basket has my microfibre cloths and enjo gloves and the last basket holds our extension cords and power boards. The second holds extra cleaning supplies, gloves, and ingredients I use to make my own cleaners. The first has all our extra laundry supplies and stain removers. The next shelf down has four plastic baskets. Similarly, when I am organising, instead of going shopping for new containers I look here first and usually I have something that will fit. I change things around quite a bit in my home so whenever I have an extra container I put it in this box. The last box on the top shelf is my favourite, it is for storage containers. The third box is for extra plastic and canvas shopping bags. This box would also be a good idea if you are collecting clothes to hand down to friends or relatives. The second box is similar to the first however it is for clothing to go into storage. Having this box stops clothing that is no longer worn going back into our closets. When the box is full, I put the clothing in a garbage bag and take it to an Op Shop. After the clothing item has been washed and dried, I throw it in the box. On the top shelf in the cupboard I have 3 boxes, the first is for clothing to be donated. I thought about how I wanted it to function, most convenient placement for items, what I wanted to keep in the room, and how I wanted it to look. I gave it a really good clean then started sorting. The first thing I did was pull every single thing out of the room, washer and dryer included. ![]() For my laundry room however, I wanted to make it really bright and cheery, a place that I really enjoy spending time in. I tend to go for fairly neutral colours throughout my home, lots of brown, white, cream and grey. I decided it was time to ‘pretty up’ my laundry room and make it functional rather than a catch all for all the bits and pieces that don’t have a home.
