Where do you stash your laundry baskets?

I hate, hate, hate having the baskets stacked in the laundry room (I don't have the luxury of just shutting the door-- its a bathroom/laundry room).

Any creative ways other than the cupboards to hang them in?

I keep mine on top of the dryer but then again my W/D is behind doors.  What about purchasing a couple of pretty ones that will match your bathroom decor? That way they would add to the decor instead of detracting from it.  I found these on Pinterest.

I keep them on top of my dryer when not in use, but my dryer is behind closed doors.  I keep my hamper for dirty clothes in our closet.  I agree with pp in that you could pick up some nicer looking baskets that you wouldn't mind having around a room that people see.

That is SO cute.  I have a laundry closet so it would never fit, or I'd be off to by wood tonight!

We live in a house where storage space is at a premium.  I ended up ditching my laundry basket and bought a laundry bag at Container Store.  I can keep the bag in my linen closet when I'm not using it because it smashes down to a much easier to store size.

We hung a curtain from the ceiling to hide the washer dryer in our downstairs bathroom.

I have a laundry/bath too. I keep the baskets on top of the dryer, but I bought all the same kind in colors that coordinate with the room so they nest inside each other and look fine with the room.

They're also only laundry baskets. Everyone has them. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
