“The design aspect is important, because you’re doing a tedious job — and if it looks better and functions better, that makes things a little easier,” mentioned Ann Lightfoot, a founding father of the New York-based organizing firm Done & Done Home.
Selecting the most suitable choice includes many concerns, Ms. Lightfoot mentioned, together with how a lot area you will have, whether or not the hamper will likely be unnoticed within the open or hidden in a closet, and the way far you have to lug it to get to a washer.
However there are extra, and higher, merchandise obtainable than ever. “Remember those plastic laundry baskets with the handles that cut into your hands?” Ms. Lightfoot mentioned. “Well, they’ve improved on those.”
