Spend less time doing laundry and more time doing the things you love. Here are some ways to make your laundry routine easier.
- Install a countertop so you have a place to fold clothes as they come out of the dryer.

- A built-in ironing board saves space and makes ironing less of a chore, just flip out the board and plug in the iron.

- Every laundry room needs a place to hang clothes fresh from the dryer or delicate items you prefer to air-dry.

- Being organized makes any job easier. Gather all of your laundry and clothing-care supplies into one utility cabinet near the washer and dryer so that everything is at hand when you need it.
