I’m a professional organizer – here are my simple hacks to get rid of the ‘laundry chair’ in your home

A professional organizer has revealed how to avoid the dreaded ‘laundry chair’ in the bedroom.

The laundry chair – whether a literal piece of furniture or space – is a designated area in the bedroom where all the laundry just ends up after a long day.

Although the solution is theoretically simple – put your clothes back in the wardrobe or on a hamper when you change – the effort can sometimes be too much.

Hence the popularity and evolution of the laundry chair; which if you’re not careful, ends up groaning under the weight of all the clothes in your wardrobe by the end of the week and maybe even spilling on the floor.

Melissa Gugni, a professional organizer, shared how to avoid the dreaded ‘clothes chair’ in the bedroom.

Fortunately, there are solutions to the problem—and according to home and lifestyle organizer Melissa Gugni, it’s pretty simple.

The first thing is to determine which clothes need to be washed and which clothes are suitable for another outfit when you undress.

“For those ‘not too dirty’ clothes, try door hooks or a decorative hamper,” said the organizer. Living etc.

‘A hamper will keep clothes organized in one place and hidden from view.’

Melissa says that if space allows, hooks are an easy way to remove the mental barrier of putting things away.

“You can take wall-mounted hooks or removable command hooks and put them on the back of a closet door, on a wall or inside a closet and designate them just for things like that,” she explained.

He shared some simple steps you can take to declutter your living space, which involve spending just 30 minutes a week decluttering.

He explained that things around your home can quickly pile up, but if you take a little time once a week to think about what you really need and what you don’t – it will stop it feeling like a huge task.

“A lot of times we see clutter created because we just don’t notice — we buy little things every now and then — and eventually it becomes a lot of clutter,” he said.

“That’s why it’s important to value what you have in your home.”

And if you were feeling overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start, he recommended focusing on one specific area or room at a time.

“Just take 30 minutes each week in a certain area or room in your house and go through everything you see, every drawer and closet, and assess whether you need what you have or if it’s clutter,” he suggested.

‘You can then separate what you think is clutter and throw it away or donate it.’

He also emphasized the importance of finding the storage devices that work best for you.
