  Right now there is a laundry basket which sticks out from the length of the sink due to the fact that the pipe under the sink stops the basket from moving over. I have tried to get a narrower basket, but have had no luck . The length of the sink is 23 inches; but with the plumbing under the sink, I only have about 9 1/2 inches from the pipe to the edge of the sink. The laundry basket I have now sticks out about 2-3 inches. The washer/dryer/utility sink is in an area by the door to the outside which gets used a lot. This is a high traffic area. It is an area that I would like to improve the appearance.

  Hi there, here are a couple of curtain ideas that might work for you. A good tip is that you could use show curtains or even table cloths for your curtain so their easy to clean and then getting them wet won't be a worry.
  After that I'm wondering if a narrow little little rolling cart with a couple of shelves might work for you depending on what amount of height you have to work with.

Is there a reason you can't put a basket there now, and adhere a curtain to the utility sink's edge? Most utility sinks are sufficiently high off the floor to permit storage.

I would make a skirt for the utility sink. You can attach it with velcro that has a sticky back. This is a good place to hide the laundry basket!
