7 space saving furniture solutions for tiny laundry areas

For many of us, laundry is a dreaded chore. For those of us living in tiny homes, it's even worse! Laundry machines are big and bulky, and they take up a lot of valuable space that could be put to use in a million different ways if it weren't for the necessity of washing our clothing.
Nonetheless, there is a bright side. If you organize it right, you'll be able to do your laundry in the comfort of your own home without resenting the space it takes up. Whether you have a dedicated laundry room, a tiny laundry closet, or even just a laundry corner, these amazing pieces of furniture will help you make the most of your space.
