Being a renter rather than a homeowner certainly has its benefits â no mortgage, no lawn care, and no buyerâs remorse. However, being a tenant means you typically need to make the most of your time, space and money. Thatâs why the team at Hazelview Properties has pulled together this quick list of the best laundry hampers for apartment living. These hampers stay out of the way, leaving you with more open space to enjoy.
CollapsibleÂ
Whether your laundry journey includes a trip around the block, or a trip down the stairs, a collapsible hamper is a great option because it can easily be stored in small areas (even zipped up in your backpack), while you wait for laundry to finish. Check out these thrifty pop-up baskets from Bed Bath and Beyond â complete with a durable and ultra-convenient side pocket for detergent.
Under-the-bedÂ
Shoving items under the bed is usually a lazy approach to organization, but in this case, itâs genius. Under-the-bed hampers take all the unsightliness of laundry right out of the equation, and allow you to maximize your room space at the same time. Check out this cute, convenient and inexpensive storage box from Ikea.
Back-of-the-doorÂ
Thereâs nothing better than a good opportunity to de-clutter your apartment. Ok, maybe weekends, beaches and chocolate take the cake, but, de-cluttering is pretty great, too! With a back-of-the-door hamper, you can free up floor space as quickly as you can hang up a coat. Check out this simple, sleek over-the-door hanging hamper from Wayfair.
WheeledÂ
Lugging laundry around can be exhausting â give yourself (and your back) a break, and make laundry a breeze with a wheeled basket. These handy hampers are stylish, practical and will make laundry feel like less of a chore.
Corner
Isnât it great when things pair together perfectly? Peas and carrots, wine and cheese â your bedroom and a corner hamper. You need one of these in your life! The Bay has a perfect option which will free up space in your bedroom and even freshen up your laundry with a special enzyme enhanced fabric lining. Itâs the hamper of the future!
We hope you find the right laundry basket for you, one that makes life a little easier and maximizes the space in your rental.
