Dirty laundry is the most disgusting thing you can find on your floor, short of insects or rotten food. Reign in your clothing explosion with a hamper or hamper liner.
Space
Small spaces like bathrooms or laundry rooms benefit from a square shaped hamper that can fit snuggly in the space. Something made of plastic or rubber works best for households with small children who like to splash in the bath, to avoid getting your laundry and your hamper all wet and mildewy.
A folding hamper also works for those with limited space, as do oversaver for those who don't have a washing machine on site.
Style
More permanent laundry storage situations need a more aesthetic touch. You didn't spend all that money putting in new tile and antique fixtures to stick a canvas sack in the corner. Wicker and wood are popular, and available in different stains. You can also take advantage of pop-out wood cabinets, which can add surface space to your bathroom for candles or magazines.
Typically made of a metal frame with a canvas or mesh bag, laundry sorters have a clean, simple look to them that can blend in with most bathrooms or laundry rooms. With a bag for delicates, whites and colors, you can simplify laundry day well in advance.
Regardless of your laundry storage preferences, it's a good idea to have multiple laundry bags and liners on hand. Laundry can quickly get away from even the most organized and time conscious of people, and having multiple liners for added clothes, towels and sheets can help you keep on top of the pile up. Or at least keep it all off your bathroom floor.
