7. Laundry. If you’re one of those folks who prefer laundry on the floor level the bedrooms are on, a landing laundry closet could work well for you. In this photo, a stacked washer and dryer unit is built into a long closet at the top of the stairs. Sliding doors conceal it when it’s not in use. This is definitely something to remodel for, or to plan ahead for if you’re building a new home, as you’ll need to have the washer and dryer hookups and waterlines installed.Find a plumber near youMoreGot Stairs?

Overhead clothesline. This laundry room in Stockholm, Sweden, contains a feature that is very practical for winter weather: clotheslines placed overhead to enable several rows of clothing to air-dry. This overhead line setup is common in Sweden and Switzerland. Clotheslines typically hang down from the ceiling low enough so you can reach the line and attach clothespins to secure laundry. Alternatively, you can place items on the lines using hangers, as this image shows. The radiator on the left, under the window, can blast some heat to help clothes dry faster. Some homes even have fans mounted to help the air circulate.Find a variety of clothesline typesFreeze-Dried Clothes? Houzzers Share Their Winter Laundry Tales
Rollout wire baskets. The wish list for this laundry room remodel was long: folding area, drying rack, storage, pullout laundry baskets, a stackable washer and dryer, a utility closet, cat food storage, pet water station and a dog bed. But the project now includes all of those elements. In the center of the image are rollout laundry baskets. The homeowner can fold clean clothes on the butcher-block folding table and then stack them in each family member’s basket.
