Overhead clothesline. This laundry room in Stockholm, Sweden, contains a feature that is very practical for winter weather: clotheslines placed overhead to enable several rows of clothing to air-dry. This overhead line setup is common in Sweden and Switzerland. Clotheslines typically hang down from the ceiling low enough so you can reach the line and attach clothespins to secure laundry. Alternatively, you can place items on the lines using hangers, as this image shows. The radiator on the left, under the window, can blast some heat to help clothes dry faster. Some homes even have fans mounted to help the air circulate.Find a variety of clothesline typesFreeze-Dried Clothes? Houzzers Share Their Winter Laundry Tales
1. At the window. We’ll mostly be looking at dried herb and spice storage, but this design for growing herbs is so ingenious it’s a great way to kick things off. Just in front of the window is a copper herb bin that drains directly into the sink drain. The plants receive much-needed natural light, can be watered with the sprayer and there’s no mess.
