Whether they are full of clean or dirty clothes, washing baskets are notorious for taking up space in the laundry and around the home.

Even with designated shelf space, laundry baskets can create a storage nightmare. They take up a lot of space and shelves tend to become cluttered with other miscellany.

If you’re looking for a new way to store laundry baskets and have wall space to spare, try hanging them from shelf brackets.

Measure the width of your baskets (ideally they will all be the same size) and install two parallel wall strips at the correct distance and then hang wall brackets. Choose brackets that fit under the lip of your baskets.
