A laundry area can perform a variety of functions when organized with care. When space allows, designate areas for specific purposes so you can do laundry efficiently. Organize cabinet space with stain removers, detergents and fabric softeners near the appliances for easy access. A counter for folding clothes, along with a rod for hanging clothes right from the dryer, will save time by reducing wrinkling. For those items that require ironing, a fold-away ironing board is a practical choice. Its slim profile fits in an upright space and the board swivels 180° so it can be positioned comfortably. With clever organization, doing laundry can be a pleasant experience!
