It’s a room that people don’t often think about, but can be
absolutely essential to the well-being of your entire home and family. We’re
talking, of course, about your laundry room. Though it may seem like just a
tiny room which houses your washer/dryer combo, a laundry
room can be so much more. With a little organization and a few creative ideas,
you can transform your laundry room into an organized, efficient little
powerhouse of a room that you’ll be excited to show off to guests. Read on for
some great laundry room hacks!

Create a
cute lint depository. You know those little boxes that real estate agents
put flyers in next to a house’s “for sale” sign? Well, they actually make great
little places to save your dryer lint- they can hang right on the wall next to
your dryer, and you can let your creativity run wild and decorate them any way
you like! Since dryer lint is actually an excellent fire starter for a campfire
or charcoal grill, it’s worth hanging onto, and now you’ll have a nice-looking
place to do that!

Wall-mount
hooks for your ironing board. You never know when you’re going to need to
iron something, but where do you stash that ironing board until you need it
again? With a couple of well-placed designer hooks from the hardware store or
online, you can create a cute out-of-the-way space to hang up your board.
·
Put
together a “stain station.” It’s all well and good to read handy laundry
tips on blogs like this one, but most of us promptly forget how to get a
certain type of stain out of clothing when the need actually arises. By putting
together an attractive little kit featuring all the things you may need to get
a stain out, as well as a little cheat sheet for which kinds of products remove
which kinds of stains, you can have the knowledge and tools you need at hand.
·
Use
designated hampers to sort clothes ahead of time. Three attractive bins
marked “whites,” “colors” and “darks” can help you to pre-sort your laundry so
you don’t have any red sock/white towel mishaps in your future.
