You were supposed to take the dirty clothes out to be washed days ago, but haven't got around to it. Your laundry hamper (or bathroom floor) is now overflowing with clothes. You eventually gather up the courage to stumble to the laundry, hands full, leaving a trail of odd socks and old shirts.
Consider...
Designing your laundry and bathroom to share a wall. Not only will the shared plumbing help both rooms, but this will also permit a two-way sliding drawer to be built between the two rooms. By installing a laundry basket in the sliding drawer, you'll be able to access the same basket whether you're in the bathroom or the laundry. So, just drop your dirty clothes into the basket whilst in the bathroom, and they magically appear in the laundry when it's time to do the washing 🥳
Alternatively, if your bathroom is the next floor above your laundry, you could also consider installing a chute, so you can drop your clothes directly into it. However, keep in mind that a chute will take up a little bit of wall space, plus you'll have no way of knowing that the laundry basket hasn't been removed at the end of the chute.
For bonus OCD points, have a separate drawer or chute for your whites and darks.
