Flexibility is the name of the game here. A rolling butcher-block island or sturdy kitchen cart can be moved right in front of the dryer, then rolled into a corner to get out of the way. Look for one with a towel bar on the side for hanging delicates or a lower shelf for baskets. This is perfect for renters or homeowners who don’t want a permanent fixture. You can even repurpose an old dresser on wheels, adding a worktop on top—bonus points for extra drawer storage for socks and undergarments.
