Dumb Wardrobe

In my basement there is a collection of various laundry equipment, a washing machine, dryer, ironing board, various racks etc. Much of this is cumbersome and noisy, the basement is a good place to keep it all.

My bedroom has a wardrobe where clothes are, as is tradition, kept. This is also an ideal location as most of the situations where my clothing state changes happen in this room.

In some houses, grander ones generally, there is a "Dumb waiter". Essentially a small lift/elevator for food to travel up from the kitchens and for dishes etc. to travel back down to be washed. I'm seeing a significant parallel between dishes and clothes here. Laundry chutes exist, but address only half the identified problems.

So, let's have a dumb wardrobe. Clean, ironed clothes are placed into the empty wardrobe, it's lifted up to the bedroom for use. Meanwhile, a second wardrobe, full of dirty clothes descends to the basement for laundry. Now no one has to waste valuable life endlessly cycling dirty and clean clothes up and down stairs where occasionally a sock gets dropped in the cat litter that lives at the top pf the basement stairs for some reason.
