The Benefits of Pull-Out Hampers

September 22, 2025

Americans do nearly 8-10 loads of laundry a week, and the piles can quickly take over. But that doesn’t mean dirty laundry should sit in plain sight. Whether it’s a busy family mudroom or a streamlined primary closet, a pull-out hamper offers one of the simplest ways to reduce mess and improve flow. At Perfection Custom Closets, we design closet systems that incorporate pull-out laundry hampers that balance form and function. These hidden helpers save space, encourage consistent laundry habits, and create a more streamlined aesthetic in the areas you use most.

Clutter-Free Closets Start with a Built-In Hamper

A laundry basket on the floor takes up more room than you’d think. It interrupts traffic flow, collects dust around the edges, and never seems to look tidy, even when it’s only half full. A pull-out laundry hamper solves all of that by hiding dirty laundry behind a sleek cabinet front. With soft-close slides and ergonomic access, it’s both visually pleasing and easy to use.

Whether you’re designing a full walk-in or refreshing a reach-in closet, including a pull-out hamper allows your storage to do more with less space. It keeps clothes off the floor, prevents overflow into shared areas, and adds a layer of polish to your everyday flow.

Smarter Closet Design for Laundry Day

Integrated hampers aren’t just about aesthetics. They also make laundry day easier. By separating dirty clothes as you go, you can streamline your weekly wash cycle. Some systems even allow for multiple compartments, making it easy to pre-sort lights, darks, or delicates without extra effort.

Every hamper can be sized, placed, and finished to fit your lifestyle, whether you're organizing for kids, couples, or compact spaces.

In shared spaces, like family mudrooms, this means no more forgotten socks on the floor or mystery piles building up in corners. Our custom closet solutions can include features like dual pull-out hampers or adjacent shelving for detergent and laundry bags.

Space-Saving Storage That Blends In

In small homes or tight laundry rooms, every inch of storage counts. A traditional laundry basket might block a cabinet door or hallway, while a built-in hamper keeps everything tucked neatly out of sight. Options are designed to fit seamlessly into standard cabinet widths, these pull-outs make the most of vertical and underused space.

They’re especially helpful in high-traffic zones like bedrooms, where open baskets can feel messy, or in entryway mudrooms, where everyone needs a simple spot to toss clothes after sports or outdoor play.
