Whose laundry room couldn’t do with a little sprucing?

Hear that? That’s the sound of almost no one raising their hands.

Since Live Simply ardently holds laundry to be a sacred, zen-like act, today we’re sweeping aside the dirty clothes piles and the dryer lint and talking 6 ways to upgrade your laundry life. Readysetgo.

Instead of:

Hanging your delicates on every surface in your home and/or shoving everything indiscriminately in the dryer in the absence of available drying surfaces…

Upgrade to:

A drying rack. Personally chosen, ideal for your space, pick your poison but I do mean pick one.

Try: 1. Clothes Drying Rack with Foldable Design // 2. Accordion Clothes Dryer // 3. Honey-Can-Do Heavy Duty Gullwing Drying Rack

Instead of:

Lugging around that creaky antiquity of a flat board that weighs 32 pounds and has a suspicious looking stain in the shape of a diaper on its cover…

Upgrade to:

A Wall-Mounted Ironing Board (1). Or, A SteamFast SP-660 Table Top Steam Press (2). Or! A Jiffy Garment Steamer with Plastic Steam Head. Or! Honey-Can-Do Rolling Ironing and Sorter Combo Laundry Center.

Instead of:

Getting continually conked in the cranium by falling floor cleaner instruments…

Upgrade to:

A holster that’ll keep those handles in line and at the ready.

Try: Evriholder The Original Magic Holder 5-Position Wall Organizer

Instead of:

Toting around that pitiful thing merely posing as a legitimate hamper (no matter how authentic it might have started out)…

Upgrade to:

A hamper to carry around your casa with pride and joy. No? A hamper whose looks make laundry transport slightly less torturous. Yes? Yes.

Try: not to fall in love with one from this crazy stylish bunch.

Instead of…

Having your laundry room be an advertisement for Tide and/or shelling out major monies for the sake of procuring laundry soaps with luxe packaging…

Upgrade to…

Detergent decanted into attractive canisters of your choosing. An extra 30 seconds of dumping/pouring for a month-time of visual pleasure.

Try: 1. Anchor Hocking Penny Candy Jar // 2. Anchor Hocking Jar // 3. Candy Buffet Glass Apothecary Jars

Instead of:

Collecting lint in a pile in a corner (it’s almost museum worthy that lint art!), and/or traipsing half a hallway away to do the responsible thing by throwing it out in a trash…

Upgrade to: 

A conveniently located, and necessarily good looking, wastebasket.

Try: checking out this bunch of show-stopping trashcans.
