Baskets, organisers, drying racks
I’ve lived in a lot of shared houses. Like… a LOT. Five home studios across ten years, working from home as a video editor, musician, producer — plus gym + hockey = endless laundry. These are the laundry bits that actually survive weekly abuse. No fluff. Just stuff I genuinely use, over and over again.
Stackable Laundry Sorting Baskets
Okay okay okay I know I said “baskets are boring” once. I was wrong. Stackable ones are 👏GAME👏CHAN👏GER. Whites, darks, gym kit, towels — all separated without taking over the room. In shared houses, this saved arguments. Amazinnngg.
Foldable Clothes Drying Rack
If you’ve ever lived somewhere with zero outdoor space… you already know. This gets used every single week. Folds flat, holds loads (literally), and survives wet hoodies + hockey gear. I’ve owned three over the years — this style lasts. Incredddible value.
Slim Laundry Detergent Storage Organiser
Working from home means clutter drives me mad. This keeps pods, softener, stain remover all in one grab-and-go spot. Especially good if your laundry lives in a cupboard or kitchen corner. Looks tidy even when life is… not.
Over-Door Hanging Laundry Organiser
Shared houses = no floor space. This hangs over a door and suddenly you’ve got storage for socks, cloths, cleaning bits, random things you don’t want everywhere. I’ve used this in two houses and a studio. Still using it.
Collapsible Laundry Basket with Handles
This one travels. Bedroom → washer → drying rack → back again. Collapses when not in use, strong handles for heavy washes (gym + towels = pain), and doesn’t crack after a month. Sounds basic. Used constantly.
Laundry isn’t glamorous, but when you cook at home, bake, train a lot, and work from the same space you live in… systems matter. These are the bits I’ve discovered the hard way — through moves, mess, and way too much washing.
