neat laundry ideas for small spaces

I saw this drying rack on Shelterness...I keep thinking it would be perfect for our little front foyer which also has my washer and dryer (my ladies!) stacked in it. What I like about it is that the drying rack can squish back in, but yet there's still coat hooks for our coats...and a shelf to put our laundry soap on and stuff. The problem? If we stretch it out to dry, you can't get in and out of the door, so it would have to be used only in the evenings, for example, or when we know we aren't on our way out and in! Yah, kind of a big concern. But I love it so...{Ballard Designs via Shelterness}

Here's some other ideas from Shelterness that are cool:
