this survey is a little unclear. When you talk about "storing and organizing your clothes," do you mean daily? weekly? monthly? seasonal swaps for warm weather / cold weather clothes?

(also, it's "drawERs," not "draws")

Clothes storage

I would add a rail or several at different levels, along the width of the wall as I think you suggest and add shelves to the alcove. You will be able to store bags, shoes or folded knitwear. It is twice as wide as the hanging space so you will still have access to it and will add a lot more variety of storage space than the last 20/30cm of hanging space. I would then add the curtain so it sits just in front of the alcove so it's about 90cms from the rear wall.

HOW TO: MAKE THE MOST OUT OF YOUR LAUNDRY ROOM
Q
Comments (0)
Laundry rooms have grown and grown in popularity in the last few years. Why? Because they're a surprisingly easy-to-achieve but lovely concept to bring into our homes, much like boot rooms. A utility room can quite easily be re branded into becoming a laundry room. A porch way can be reconfigured and renamed a boot room. Laundry rooms are where the washing machine and tumble dryer live. They're where the ironing board sleeps and the clothes airer spends its days. They're the room where we can hide away cleaning products, a vacuum and all other chore-related bits and bobs, tucked away from the rest of our home. Out of sight, out of mind. Just the way we like it. Here's how to make the most of yours. Call for order Like with any room in your home, the layout and the furniture inside your laundry room needs to make sense. Instead of working with what you have, it's a good idea to take a step back and to think about what you need and then go from there. Do you have your washing machine and tumble dryer side by side? If so, a cabinet that can stack them is a wise investment, freeing up a chunk of floor space. Do you have a vacuum cleaner, mop and ironing board propped up against a wall or stood in a corner? Items like these not only cause clutter but they just get in the way. Cabinets that can hold a number of household items like these can become saviors, in which everything fits snugly and securely. Think sink If you're reworking a space to turn it into a laundry room, a sink isn't a must, but it's certainly a nice-to-have. A deep Belfast sink is ideal. Delicate items that need hand-washing can then be done in the confines of your laundry room, leaving them to soak for as long as you wish without causing any inconvenience. Place another storage cabinet or two next to your sink to give yourself a bit of work surface space too. You'll be surprised how much you'll use it once it's there. Having a sink installed isn't necessarily a costly project, especially if your laundry room is close to your kitchen so the plumbing work just needs extending. As always, get a few recommended plumbers to visit your home to provide a quote. Wall art It's all too easy to neglect wall space. We're drawn to floors and to think about what we can put on those to fill and use the space efficiently. But our walls can create storage opportunities that look as good as they act. Peg rails are a space from which cotton peg bags can be hung, linen spritz bottles, and even a bunch of fresh lavender. And our airing rail is an unobtrusive piece that can be mounted between wall cabinets or used alone to construct an indoor washing line where crisp white shirts can air on hangers. The beauty of baskets Baskets make life more organised and more attractive. You can use them within cabinets to store like-things together so that you don't need to empty the entire contents to find the one thing that you're searching for. You can use them to unload the washing machine, tipping clothes into them to rest while you peg them out. And why not relocate your laundry basket here too? That way, it saves you having to haul armfuls down the stairs, because there's always that one sock that escapes, and that you notice when you've already pressed the start button. Make it special Even though a laundry room is a room for chores, it can also be a rather peaceful place. There's something quite therapeutic about washing. It's about renewing and refreshing. Plus, everything smells so beautifully light and airy when it's freshly laundered. So make sure you fill your laundry room with the nicest possible cleaning products so that they're a pleasure to use. Invest in ironing water, be sure to never run out of your favorite scented fabric conditioner (Dayelsford is our favorite), and choose a herbal hand scrub and rich hand cream to thank your hands when their hard work is all done, and quite possibly dusted too.

How to make the most of your utility room or laundry room.

Can anybody advise/offer comments on the below: We are looking to add a utility room to our ground floor (soon to be extended) off the main hallway. What dimensions are ideal for a utility room with a washer and dryer, sink and some storage cabinets? The utility room would also be the place that I would store all my cleaning items (liquids, mop, bucket etc) and the household hoover too. Any ideas for wall/shelf storage for these items? Thanks.

Soft packets ie bags of rice, pasta, lentils are the worst. I could decant them into containers but I don’t like the idea of mixing new and old, and if I wait till the old is finished, I have the next packet to store as well as the container, double the space needed. So, I just use the packets but of course once opened they tend to spill and be awkward shapes. I would value a container where you could somehow divide old and new (with a partition perhaps)? Mugs, main issue is the water that collects in the dip in the base when they are upside down in the dishwasher. When the dishwasher ends I have to turn them to empty out the water, wait for them to drip dry and then put them in the cupboard to avoid puddles in the cupboard. Also, ours stack but not all do, stackable is definitely better! Cereal boxes the giant ones are a pain to store and I don’t buy them as a result. Tall thin bottles ditto. Of course environmental concerns over any plastic packaging - for example could cereal not use waxed paper for the internal bag rather than plastic. Herbs and spices, please put the name on the top as well as the side for those of us who store them in drawers. And preferably the use by date as well!

I started it but got a bit confused, too. I organized my clothes when I moved in and they stay that way, unless I do a seasonal swap between winter and summer clothing.
