Dealing with laundry in a small home can be a logistical nightmare. Finding a space for bulky laundry bins can be tricky, and smaller bins don't always offer the storage needed.
That's why this tall yet narrow laundry hamper from Wayfair is the perfect fix. Slotting in awkward gaps, it offers ample room for all your dirty laundry without getting in the way.
It's lightweight, discreet, and surprisingly roomy – perfect for maximizing space in a small laundry room and beyond.
This Slim $23 Hamper Is the Best Fix for Tiny Laundry Spaces
Tall and narrow, this lidded laundry hamper is the ideal fit for tiny homes that doesn't compromise on storage when doing laundry. It is available in three colors and two sizes to suit any space.
Hampers are far from the most practical or aesthetic thing to have in the corner of your room, which is why so many of us spend so long working out ways to hide a laundry basket around our home.
With this narrow-profile basket, however, tripping over your laundry while navigating your home will be a thing of the past.
With the larger size measuring just shy of 29 inches tall with a capacity of 50L, it has the depth needed to hold all of your weekly laundry before it overflows. Plus, the hinge lid hides messy laundry piles from sight, helping to reduce visual clutter in a bedroom or bathroom while concealing odors.
The most practical feature of all, however, is the removeable lining bag, designed to make sorting laundry ten times easier.
Head of Solved, Punteha van Terheyden, suffers from chronic pain, making stooping down to reach the bottom of a laundry bag difficult on a good day. She says, 'The removable bag feature is a lifesaver for me. I can lift everything out in one go and carry it more easily to my washing machine, where I can simply tip the bag to empty it.
'The removable bag will also make it far easier to clean a laundry hamper, one of the most forgotten spring cleaning dirt spots,' she adds. 'It's an added bonus that the bag is machine washable to simplify the process, and is breathable, too, to prevent a build-up of musty odors from your laundry pile.'
It is certainly a chic addition I am eyeing up for my small bathroom while it is on sale.
