How clever is your laundry room? If it\u2019s like the average American\u2019s, it\u2019s struggling to handle 8 to 10 loads of laundry<\/a> a week and frequently gets backed up with baskets and stacks of laundry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most laundry rooms also do double-duty as storage space for coats, cleaning supplies, sports equipment, and more. That\u2019s a lot to pack into a relatively small space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s look at some smart, creative laundry and linen<\/a> solutions that will make your life easier. And if you don\u2019t have a laundry room, don\u2019t worry! We have solutions for you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop Goes the Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pop-out laundry rack stays out of the way until the moment you need it. Use it to hang baby clothes, rags, towels, handkerchiefs, scarves, and anything else that needs to hang while drying or steaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Creative<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A rack like this doesn\u2019t have to fold out from the wall. It can also pop out of a countertop, fold out from behind a door, or even pull down from the ceiling. It all depends on what you need to hang and how much space it requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprise – There’s Storage Inside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Old-fashioned ironing boards take up too much floor space for the modern home. Consider adding a fold-away ironing board that rests behind a door and uses a spring-lock mechanism to flip out when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Creative<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is also an opportunity to create extra hidden storage. In the nook behind the ironing board, install shelves to hold your iron and ironing supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s a wild idea: Add a hidden locking safe behind your ironing board to stow away money and valuables. No thief would ever think to look behind your fold-up ironing board!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do the Old Laundry Room Switcheroo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What if you have no space for a laundry room or linen closet? Well, are you 100% sure that\u2019s true? Maybe it\u2019s time for some creative thinking!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Creative<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stroll through your house and look for spaces that could be switched around to make way for something new. Do you have an unused mudroom or office? Could you wall off a rarely-used back porch? Could you turn an awkward garage entryway into your dream laundry room or linen closet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any unused space is put to much better use if it helps you handle your laundry. In fact, laundry rooms are so popular, 95% of all home buyers<\/a> request one from realtors when buying a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember, a laundry room doesn\u2019t have to be hidden away in the basement or even on the bottom floor of your home. Today, 61% of laundry rooms<\/a> are located on the upper levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people find it handy to toss loads of laundry into a washer just steps away from the bedroom. Some people even turn a walk-in bedroom closet into a mini-laundry room, which eliminates the hassle of carting laundry from place to place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
