Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If you want to save energy this year–and you live in a climate that’s less damp than mine–you could cut out the clothes dryer and let your garments dry outside.  Even an energy saving dryer is a pretty big power suck, so using the sun and the wind can certainly lower your utility bill.

You don’t have to manually string lines up all over your house; just pick up an outdoor clothes drying rack.

The Whitney Design 3000 30-Line Outdoor Parallel-Style Clothes Dryer with Aluminum Arms (aside from having a very long name) makes efficient use of space, so even if you’ve got a small yard, you can dry your clothes outside.

And saving energy may not be the only perk:

“The benefits of air drying clothes are many–fabrics last longer, energy bills run lower, and clothes and sheets naturally smell better when hung outside–not to mention the health benefits of spending a few minutes outdoors in the sunshine.”
