I almost killed myself the other day walking a poorly lit friend’s basement. The laundry lines were hanging much to low and I almost hung myself on them.
I have been considering what would make for a good replacement for the typical sloppy indoor laundry lines that so many people have. I know you can get wire and plastic fold up units that sit on the floor but they don’t work well for large items like comforters or sheets.
I was thinking of perhaps using electrical conduit instead or rope and forming a grid that would hang from the ceiling.

I think the best thing would be something that could be taken down when unused. They make a laundry line reel (intended for outside use) that has, I think, four parallel lines that reel out and in (with a bar on the end to allow all four to be reeled at once).
once uponm a time, in a land far away, when I was only twelve, I was playing some kind of game where I was chasing somebody or they were cahsing me and I ran around the corner of the house at full tilt.
I forgot the clothesline was there and found reason to understand the football terminology. I distinctly remember my toes being higher than my head when I landed on my back wondering what had happened.
The burn on front of my neck looked like a hickey bigger than you could cover with a hand for over a week.
There are reel in type clotheslines for interiors. I remember some specifically made for in the shower. I think I have seen them in hotel bathrooms and remember one in a catalouge but can't remember where.

Here's another idea-
install a light.

"Install a light"
That's another topic I had in mind.
The basement is low - 6 feet tops. Right now you have two fixtures with single exposed bulbs hung between joists. Very poor lighting and somewhat dangerous too.
I was thinking new lighting. Ever seen somebody do fluorescent lights
on the walls?
Sure.
Here's another idea, LOL - chuckle chuckle, Use ropelights!
Just kidding!

A couple of 4' fixtures mounted as high on the wall as possible would work. The hallways in the building I work in are lit that way. The fixtures have a decorative cover that is mounted over the light, so that it cast the light down the wall and out the top to be reflected off of the drop ceiling.
You could mount standard 4' fixtures and use the plastic protectors that slip over the lamps. They keep the lamp contained if someone were to break it.
I have also seen banks of 4' fixtures used in automotive paint and body shops.
