Organizing Laundry

Here are some basic, single-unit hampers offering decent storage – though you wouldn’t want too much anyway as it would encourage the laundry to pile up.
This is a pretty basic hamper made by Rubbermaid which is probably sturdy and gets the job done. Though it does come in a neutral color, I would’ve liked some other color choices. I don’t think I would display this freely if I was going for a polished decor, however. I like that it is collapsible for easy storage as it is a rather large piece.

Here is another basic, slightly more decorative wicker hamper made by Whitney Design. This one has a lid, although reviewers seem to have noted that it doesn’t always close fully for whatever design reason. This is another one of those collapsible hampers.

Here is a rounded, canvas hamper that seems easy to transport around for laundry days while concealing laundry with its zippered top. It seems to include a wire frame so it will maintain its upright shape. This one seems to come in 2 color choices – white/black, with the black version constructed of mesh.

These woven hampers are slightly smaller than some of the previous items and can be wiped to clean. The built-in handles would also allow it to be moved for laundry day.

Here is a wicker hamper set that includes 4 pieces and have removable liners to allow machine washable cleaning.

I’m not a really fan of these triple compartment sorters as I don’t really have the room for them, but I think they would be really handy to organize piling laundry.
This 3-sorter is pricier than the single-sorts, but it looks like a sturdy piece with wire frame supports below and set on wheels for easy moving throughout the house.

Here is a woven seagrass option for those wanting a little more decorative look to their laundry sorting. This sorter doesn’t seem to have wheels, but it does have removable liners/bags.

I liked this all-in-one unit as it has a small hamper below as well as additional shelving for lots of storage above.

Here is a slightly smaller laundry center unit with 3 upper shelves and a hamper below. The shelves and hamper are constructed of canvas and bound by a metal frame.
