It does a great job of illuminating the entire area. Because the space is so small, we opted for a single pendant light overhead.

The lighting in our laundry closet was practically non-existent which made it even harder to stay organized and do laundry. I love this storage solution in particular because it lets the dryer balls air out while also being easy accessible.

But I needed something to hold our dryer balls… and it had no fruit in it! So I grabbed it off the counter and piled ‘em high. For example, we used to store produce in this wire bowl. Especially if you live in the boonies like us! Plus, depending on what you’ve got on hand, the unexpected storage solution could be even better than a bin or a basket. I love a good bin and basket as much as the next person, but sometimes you have to work with what you’ve got on hand.

Laundry was definitely a fraught issue in our cabin up until recently.
