Laundry lockers. Here’s a clever idea from one of the year’s most popular laundry rooms, which is a multipurpose space that functions as a laundry room, entry drop zone, home office and place for storing sports gear. This solution won’t work for everyone, but with enough space, building in individual lockers can be a neat way to corral equipment for various children and their activities, including game time uniforms and gear. That way, dirty items can get dropped off here, cleaned, and stowed for the next game, all in one place. These lockers feature custom-built cabinetry and welded wire panels, according to Tim Brown Architecture. Of course, the feature that dominates the room is not the lockers but the metal slide.

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
