Why colour are the tiles? You can get grout paint to change the colour if the dark look is the problem. My friend never cleans her floor tile grout she just paints it white when it gets too dirty I have a clothes hamper in our bedroom as DH and I are too lazy to walk to the laundry so the clothes would just end up on the floor. I also have two hampers in the laundry. One for DS clothes and one for towels, sheets etc. I'm lucky though that we have a bench with no cupboards underneath so they sit under there. Can you post that photo? It would be easier to give suggestions if we can see the layout but I understand if you would rather not share
