Whenever I do any ironing, all three bedrooms & the corridor are involved. The power cord & detachable steam iron base come into the end of the corridor from one bedroom. I stand at the very end of this corridor, in the open doorway of the end bedroom. The iron is stored on top of a chest of drawers beside the doorway.
The ironing board is mounted onto the door of the third bedroom & folds down into place. I put the iron base on the end of the board nearest the hinge & put the iron on the base. Normally I use the iron in cordless mode but sometimes for heavy work I leave the base attached, using the iron as a conventional corded one. It works for me.
