Re: Do you have a layout you love that includes....
My mom has a closet laundry in the hall right outside her bedroom. It works well for her, she carries the clean clothes in on her bed to fold, and sorts her dirty clothes in her closet/bathroom area.
When my kids were babies, our house had an almost-closet-sized "laundry room (it was a room you walked into, with a door that closed, but was just big enough to stand in front of the washer/dryer) on the 2nd floor, right outside the master bedroom. That was awesome! If I had tons of laundry to sort, I'd do it in my room, but often also had a pile of dirty clothes that I was "walking on" in front of the washer. All the clothes stayed right there near the bedrooms. Now, we're in a 2 story house again, but with the laundry on the main floor. It's a trade off, I have a clothesline here, so having the washer right inside the back door is nice for taking clothes out to hang. And I like being able to toss kitchen towels & dishcloths straight in the washer as I walk by. But it does mean having to carry the dirty clothes down to the washer, and the clean clothes upstairs to put away.
