Laundry storage keeps the washing sorted and the laundry room tidy — hampers, baskets, over-toilet shelving and racks that make a small, busy space work harder. We stock over 50 laundry storage items — foldable hampers, sorter baskets, over-toilet units and laundry shelving — from around $26. Stock is held across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, so orders dispatch within 1-2 business days.
What types of laundry storage are there?
Laundry storage covers a few core items. A laundry hamper or basket holds dirty washing, with single, twin and three-section versions for sorting as you go. An over-toilet storage unit uses the wasted vertical space above the toilet for shelving. A laundry shelf or rack stores detergent, baskets and supplies. Foldable hampers collapse flat when empty. Match the items to the size of your laundry and how much you need to sort and store.
How do I organise a small laundry room?
A small laundry works best when it uses height, because floor space is the thing it never has. An over-toilet or over-machine shelving unit turns dead vertical space into storage for detergent and baskets. A foldable hamper takes up no room when empty. A twin or three-section sorter does the sorting job of several baskets in one footprint, and sorting as you go saves a separate sort on wash day. Wall-mounted shelving keeps the floor clear, and a narrow rolling cart can slide into the gap beside the machine. The aim is to get supplies off the floor and the bench, and let the room work without feeling cramped.

What is the best material for laundry storage?
A laundry is a damp environment, so the material matters more than in a dry room. Coated or powder-coated metal resists rust and wipes clean. Bamboo handles humidity well and looks warmer than metal. Plastic and fabric hampers are light and cheap, and fine for dry washing, though fabric can hold moisture if damp clothes sit in it. Bare untreated steel will rust over time in a laundry. For shelving and racks that stay in the room permanently, coated metal or bamboo are the safer long-term choices.
How much does laundry storage cost in Australia?
Laundry storage at Simple Deals starts from around $26 for foldable hampers and baskets. Over-toilet units and laundry shelving sit between $30 and $80, with larger multi-tier and timber designs at the higher end. All items dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouses.
What most furniture sites won't admit
Almost every laundry storage item sold online in Australia is imported from China, Vietnam, Malaysia or Indonesia — including ours. Where the item is made is not the real difference between online retailers. What matters is what happens after the stock lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from an overseas container, which is why their "fast delivery" stretches into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there — the same imported item, dispatched in 1–2 business days.

Complete your laundry
Laundry storage tidies the room, and a few pieces complete it. Most buyers add three at the same time: bathroom storage for the adjoining space, cloth storage for clothes and linen, and a shoe rack for the laundry or entry.
