A laundry room can easily become cluttered with clothes (both clean and dirty), products, and more, making it difficult to get your laundry and other chores done efficiently. It can often be difficult to determine how to free up space, since washing machines and dryers are such large appliances, often leaving the space around them looking awkward or unkept. If this describes your situation at home, don’t fear – there is no shortage of hacks to easily help you get and stay organized.
Here are a few ideas to help you get started with space-saving renovations in your laundry room.
Stacked Machines
Opting for a stacked washer and dryer combo can be one of the most effective ways to maximize space in your laundry room. Simply getting rid of one machine on the floor can free up space for a table, larger laundry hamper, or other items which can store clothing and other clutter.
If stacked machines aren’t an option for you, consider getting a smart shelf which is inexpensive build or purchase and is intended to go in the space between your washer and dryer and the wall. This will increase storage possibilities while taking up relatively little space in the room.
Laundry Room Cabinets
Cabinets can further help to organize items and keep them tucked away, so you have the space to move around while working on chores. Companies like Capitol Kitchen & Bath can help design cabinets based on what you need space for in your laundry room. This can give you easy access to supplies like detergent and fabric softener without leaving these items out in the open, taking up unnecessary space. Be sure to choose a cabinet style that reflects the rest of your home decor, for an added touch of personal style in your laundry room.
Open Wall Space
Bare walls can house both large and small items that you aren’t sure where else to store. Consider a pegboard, on which you could store laundry bags or other helpful organizationl tools. Another option is floating shelves, which can be installed on any wall and can also help to organize items and keep unneeded clutter to a minimum. If your space allows, you could mount a drying rack to the wall to keep all of your air dried clothes in one place, and out of the way.
