A lack of organization in the laundry area can cause a musty odor that can spread throughout the house. Setting up a dedicated area for laundry is an effective way to keep the area neat and tidy. If the laundry room is located near an exit, setting up a dedicated space near the door will also keep the air in the room fresh.
Floating shelves
Floating shelves are a great way to add style to a laundry room. DIY floating shelves can be made from inexpensive materials. If you don’t have the money to buy them, you can make them yourself from scrap wood. If you don’t want to rip holes in the wall, try making your own shelves using a few pieces of wood.
Floating shelves are a great way to make a small laundry area look larger and more organized. They provide a nice space to rest laundry supplies, while displaying your favorite decorative items. In addition to being a great addition, you can even get premade laundry room shelving.
If you have space between your washing machine and dryer, consider building a small shelving unit with drawers. These can be used to store items you don’t want on display. If you don’t have enough space to add a full-sized laundry basket, consider using small woven or cloth baskets. These will prevent items from getting sloppy pushed into nooks and crannies and will maximize your space.
In addition to open shelves, you can install pull-out drawers. These can be used for other purposes besides storing clothes. For example, you can use them to store laundry hampers or as an ironing board. The possibilities are endless. The more you organize, the easier your laundry tasks will be.
Metal baskets
Metal laundry baskets can help you organize your laundry room. These versatile storage containers can be stacked or placed under the counter. A streamlined, industrial look is possible by using metal baskets with lined bottoms. In addition to their usefulness as storage containers, metal laundry baskets can add a touch of vintage style to any laundry room.
You can also buy collapsible wall baskets, which are designed to mount to a wall and are easy to set up and use. They come in many styles and designs, but it’s important to check their weight capacity before you install them. Otherwise, they might tip over, creating a cluttered, disorganized laundry area.
If you don’t want to use a laundry basket, consider installing open shelving over the top of the washer. This will allow you to store cleaning supplies and laundry items above the washer and dryer. Whether you have a small space or a large one, this option offers open storage for essentials like laundry detergents and dryer sheets.
Custom shelving
To maximize your storage space, choose laundry area furniture with a wide range of features. A large family style washing machine can be converted to a convenient shelf, and a dryer can be used as an additional drying rack. If you don’t have the space for a dryer, try installing a movable, adjustable over-the-door hanging rack. Long, floating shelves can house your laundry supplies and display your personal touches.
One modern laundry room design by Emily Henderson uses open shelving, painted robin’s egg blue, to maximize storage. Open shelves create breathing space while showcasing pop art and greenery on top. The design also keeps commonly used items out of reach of young children. This room is perfect for a family with multiple children and a large laundry room.
If you’re looking for an elegant, functional laundry space, consider custom shelving. Whether you want an open wood shelving or more closed cabinets, custom shelving can help you organize your laundry room. Designers have even created laundry rooms with built-in shelves. Some laundry rooms even have cabinets that hang over the sink.
In addition to open shelving, consider using drawers for ironing boards and shelves that fold away for storage. These storage solutions will save space and make your laundry room more appealing. Open shelves are great for hanging clothes, and labelled bins can hold small odds and ends. You can also use a wooden countertop to fold clothes.
A corner shelving unit is another great option for laundry area organization. It will fill the corner space and allow for decorative pieces. You can also add floating shelves on the wall near your appliances for more storage.
Using StoreWALL
