I'm looking for a storage solution for the iron in my new, unbuilt utility room.
Where do you store yours?

That was meant to say ironing board!

I keep mine upstairs in the bedroom as that's where I do the ironing while watching tv. No help to you though.

When I was a kid we used to have ours hung on the back of the utility room door on two hooks....any use?

We left a 15cm gap between the end of a run of floor and wall units and the wall, in a corner IYSWIM. Slots in there, along with brush, mop etc. Nice and neat.

Thanks, but it's a sliding door, so wouldnt work...

My aunt had a tall thin cupboard built into her new built in kitchen for hers. I am insanely jealous!

Mine lives propped up in utility or up in the living room Sad

I don't actually like to see it, so a cupboard is probably best. Does anyone have one of those ironing boards that pulls out of a drawer?? Do they have a name?

My mum has a special wall mounted ironing board hanger hook thing which also has a wall mounted iron holder above it. It's great and very efficient at getting it out of the way. Mine is in the cupboard of doom under the stairs.

In a tall cupboard in the utility room along with the broom & mops etc

mine is also in the cupboard under the stairs - open the door, fling it in and hope for the best!

I have a housemaid's cupboard for the iron & ironing board, the vacuum cleaner, buckets etc with shelves for cleaning products and laundry detergents etc.

MissHonkover · 10/12/2011 15:48

We have one of these.

My ironing board is stored up and ready for business, currently next to my bed, but occasionally on my (long) landing.

CuriousMama · 10/12/2011 16:11

I was thinking of getting a single wardrobe (white) to go in the dining room for my iron and vacuum? Will have to measure it first of course.

CuriousMama · 10/12/2011 16:14

with Hanging Rail I like the look of this one.

What's an ironing board - have even heard reports of an iron thing existing! Mines called the tumble dryer ;)
