The laundry should be a must in every home, especially if it is a family home where more than 4 people already live, because in this case the clothes (both clothing and household items) multiply and we always have freshly put on laundry, others to put on, others to pick up or iron... Really the organization of clothes at home is complicated, either we have a space dedicated to it or we can end up sunk in a real chaos...
It is true that not all of us are lucky enough to be able to allocate a room for this purpose, in case you have an extra room for it, today I bring several ideas to take advantage of it, get the most out of it and also organize and decorate it in a pleasant and original way, this is basic because it will make this suffering task much more bearable.
For those of us who do not have a laundry room, don't panic, there are many ideas for turning the corner for our washing machine and dryer into a functional and practical mini laundry. A corridor or a corner of the kitchen or bathroom will be enough for us to organize this space to which we spend more hours than we think at the end of the week.
Ideas for creating a practical and welcoming laundry room
Storage
Baskets, baskets, plastic drawers, glass jars, sacks... Do not skimp on storage, depending on your space decide the most appropriate sizes, as long as we can include it, it would be ideal to take into account the type of clothes we wash in order to organize them in different compartments (sheets, towels, underwear, white, black, sportswear, delicate clothes...).
If we manage to organize our storage in an orderly and aesthetic way, we will be able to give the feeling of a fully integrated laundry and not of temporarily occupying the corner of a room.
Personality
The laundry room should be a comfortable, pleasant space where we feel comfortable, household chores are mandatory for everyone so the best thing is that we create spaces and habits that make us take it with philosophy. For example, place a cork where we can prick notes and drawings of our children, hang pictures and prints on the wall with motivational messages, choose functional but stylish elements, so that they give a much more homely look to our corner or laundry room.
If we have space we can even create a craft corner, so, while we organize the laundry, the little ones in the house can do their homework, entertain themselves by painting or doing a puzzle...
This room can also be an ideal place for our pet, where to place his food, water and a bed. And we can have original ideas such as creating a hanger with the sign 'missing socks' or unmarried socks.
The idea is to create a cozy atmosphere, with a decoration that fits with the rest of the rooms in our house and with details that make it special.
Functionality
The main thing is that the laundry room fulfills its basic functions: washing, drying, ironing, folding... That is why we must structure the space in different work areas and all of them connected so that it is comfortable for us to organize clothes.
In addition to storage, another essential element is a clothesline and hangers, there are many garments that need to be stretched, so let's take advantage of the walls to place folding clotheslines, coat racks and hangers of all kinds, do not skimp on it, because the clothes in a home are always increasing...
We can also take advantage of this room to use it as a pantry, placing a cupboard in which to store food that is well preserved without being refrigerated, a place to store the stock we have of hygiene, cleaning and beauty products.
Baskets are the key
The truth is that baskets are one of the most grateful storages, they integrate perfectly into any room in the house and give the decoration a rustic and comfortable touch that is always good to take into account. The baskets are nice and useful.
Lighting
If our room or sleeping corner is next to a great window, we will benefit from natural daylight, if this is not the case we cannot neglect to have good lighting, we spend a lot of time here, we have to iron, program the washing machine... We took the opportunity to write the shopping list... We need general and very clear lighting. And it is also the perfect excuse to place some beautiful ceiling lamps, those in industrial style are an option very much in line with this type of room.
