Build your own laundry sorter with hanging rod

Now here’s a DIY laundry sorter project you can do if you want an improved and a more organized laundry room!

This laundry hamper comes with a hanging rod for shirts and pants. It also has a lid to hide the dirty clothes, which doubles as a surface for folding clean laundry on. The hampers are easy to remove when taking out dirty laundry or for when you need to wash them.

If you prefer a mobile unit, you can simply make some minor changes and add wheel casters to this design!

What do you think? Is this the perfect laundry sorter for you?
