So I have my bins up top with cleaning supplies, rags, light bulbs, etc. Now if you'll notice, in between the washer and dryer I have this 3 tiered cart (with wheels!) where I keep my laundry detergent, dryer sheets, etc. I got it from Wal-Mart a while back. I can't find the exact product out there online, but it's very similar to this. And then of course I used a shower curtain rod to hang clothes up when need be. 
And I must say, I do love my plastic bag storage on the wall. You can get it just about anywhere. I think I found mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. But if you don't want to buy one of these, I've seen people put their grocery store bags in an empty tissue box, or an empty baby wipes dispenser. I use the empty wipes dispenser on my second floor in my linen closet. So here's some pictures of laundry rooms that I love!!
Isn't that gorgeous?! This picture came from Stacks and Stacks Clutter Control Freak Blog. She's got some great tips. But here's some real people's laundry rooms:
This woman has 5 children and her own laundry room in the basement. She even has a laundry shoot. Read her blog on what she does: Clover Lane. Simple, which equals awesome to me! And next we have a really cute laundry room from Organize with Sandy.
Sandy has 7 hampers in her laundry room for whites, jeans, reds, light permapress, dark permapress, towels, and extra (misc – like pillows or delicates). So she sorts as she goes. I really like her system. Read the part about The Laundry Process. I love the laundry cubbies. She's got those kids trained! Read her post and she'll tell you all about it.Oh! And one more thing on Organize with Sandy that I'd like to try are Sock Sacks! I would love to not have to sort socks! Check these out:
I'll have to order mine and see if I like them. Now I would really like to know from you all, how do you organize your laundry room? I'd love some tips!
I'm so impressed with your new blog! I love the ideas you have posted up so far. As a working mom I know organization is the last thing I think about, so it is nice to see some fresh, simple ideas. Thanks for doing all the leg work for us.
ReplyDeletelove the inspiration! my laundry room is pretty organized but pretty boring. i'd love to have a bright coloured room. if i ever get to paint the laundry room, i'd love to paint it pink. itd be the only pink room i'd ever get.
