If you recently moved into an Atlanta new home with a laundry room, visions of an organized space may be floating around in your head. Unfortunately, most families will tell you that laundry rooms are notoriously unorganized. However, there is still hope. Laundry spaces are extremely easy to maintain and organize if you plan accordingly, especially the laundry spaces from Keystone Homes. Here are five tips for keeping your new laundry room organized.

1. Use the vertical space. By using drying racks or retractable clotheslines, you can dry your clothes effectively without taking up unnecessary space.

2. Presort your laundry. Having clothes organized before you even step into the laundry room will save you plenty of time. Try keeping separate hampers for light, dark and white clothes. Label them if you need to (especially if you have forgetful family members.)

3. Corral pet supplies in your laundry space. Hang up leashes and other pet supplies on the wall and put toys into a basket or caddy. Keeping pet supplies in the laundry room will help free up space in other areas of your home as well.

4. Keep a lost and found basket. Misplaced socks and gloves can be a pain to reunite. Having a basket dedicated specifically to these “loners” can help you easily track down pairs. Small baskets or caddies are also perfect for storing cleaning supplies, laundry detergent and other necessary items for laundry day.

5. If you have a stackable washer and dryer, invest in a pull out drawer. The drawer or shelf fits between the washer and dryer and makes folding clothes much easier when emptying your dryer. After you finish folding your clothes, your drawer or shelf saves space by folding or retracting until you need it again.

By following these tips, you can keep the laundry space in your Atlanta new home clean and organized. To find the perfect home for you and your family, visit the Keystone Homes website.
