5 ways to make laundry day a chill day
The most practical and perhaps smallest room in your home can still be stylish. Make yours an uplifting place to do the laundry preparations with bamboo cosiness, chic accessories, earthy colours and nifty tips.
1. Streamlined storage
If you don’t have a cabinet, use open-hanging storage that keeps things tidy. Here we took a shower caddy and placed it in the laundry room. The metal basket and hooks create the perfect relaxing spa look. It’s also a non-drill solution which makes it easy to move around.
2. Just grab the handles and go
With enough space to hold 60 litres of clothes, this laundry bag is great for families that have a lot of washing. The coating on the inside protects it from moisture, and the stripes add a chic flair to your space. And when it’s empty – just fold it up.
3. Give your ironed clothes a place to hang out
Dedicate a specific place on your wall (that doesn’t take up valuable floor space) for clothes that will be ironed or just have been ironed. This towel rail in black brings a bit of attitude to your laundry and the lightweight hangers in bamboo will keep all your blouses and shirts in place.
4. Sew a hole, mend a seam
Caring for your clothing items properly will extend their life, so it’s good to keep a little toolkit close at hand in your laundry space. These boxes are light and easy to move around, and the natural bamboo creates a warm and cosy feeling.
5. Dance the laundry away
You may as well enjoy yourself as you get through your chores list. Put your favourite playlist on in the background with a waterproof Bluetooth speaker to get you in the mood. By pairing two speakers you can enjoy stereo sound. The good times start here.
