Last week I talked about how choosing nicely designed house keeping and cleaning essentials could improve the aesthetics of your everyday home living, and I investigated classy storage options for these, no matter how much space you've got in your home, can help you keep organised.
This post is a continuation of this subject, as I will be talking about THE LAUNDRY.
Anybody with a busy household will know that keeping on top of your laundry pile is a never ending task, and inevitably, your washing will be a visual part of your home life....

My washing machine is in the kitchen, and without any designated area for my laundry essentials, it ends up all over the house.
As it is at the moment, Bigger laundry items , like towels and bedding invariably gets hung over doors around here when the weather does not permit outdoor drying...Installing a wall hung airer/drier will free up valuable floor space and give you a more flexible option when hanging your laundry to dry, especially in the winter months...

Using pretty baskets to sort the laundry in, in or near rooms like the bathroom or the bedroom , would make it easier to carry the washing loads to and from the washing machine, as well as looking a lot better than a pile of dirty clothes on the floor...

And of course, choosing nicely designed storage and essential tools for the Laundry, like a ironing board with a nice cover, will make it less of an eyesore in your home when in use...
I've picked out a few useful, yet good looking products, below to help you keep your laundry storage and the job itself more stylish:
