8 hidden features every laundry room needs
Here are some hidden functions in my new laundry that you may not have considered before…
Hopefully they give you some ideas to steal for your next project :)
1: Pull down ironing board
My joiners made a specific cupboard to house the Robin Hood ironing system. The iron swivels so it can be used LH or RH.
2: Pull out dirty laundry and ironing hampers
3: Hidden drying racks for delicates
With pull out shelf for washing basket
4: Hanging rod for ironing
This hanging rod is from HERE
5: Double washer and dryer
With pull out shelf for washing basket. We have a large and active family with lots of sports gear and school uniforms to be constantly washing. The double washing machine and dryer have been a game changer for getting through it all.
6: Charging cupboard for stick vacuum
We haven’t attached this yet - but eventually it will hang inside this cupboard :)
7: Underfloor heating
Means most clothes dry overnight on the hanging rails (especially during winter)
8: Clothes sorting baskets
This is a new system I’ve implemented. Everyone in the house has their own felt basket in this cupboard.
All clean washing is sorted and folded into each person’s basket and put in the cupboard. My boys then know that every day they come in, collect their basket, put their clothes away and then return the empty basket to this cupboard when they are done.
This solves the issue I used to have of piles of washing sitting on the stairs for my family to take upstairs and put away! Genius!
