Laundry Room Organization & Storage

Elevated Laundry Hampers and Other Laundry Room Essentials

Laundry is one of those ceaseless chores that can quickly become overwhelming if you don't stay on top of it. If you find yourself constantly battling a daunting pile of dirty laundry or overflowing baskets of laundry that need to be folded and put away, a little laundry room organization might be just the motivation you need. A well-organized laundry area may help the task feel less onerous. You might also consider picking out a laundry hamper that holds only one washer full of clothes so that the task never feels too daunting.

The Details

West Elm Canada's collection of laundry organization solutions includes a wide range of laundry hampers, wall hooks for hanging items that need to air dry and bins for organizing necessities like detergent, pre-wash spray and dryer sheets.
