Lovely Laundry Room Ideas

Laundry may not be everyone’s favorite way to pass the time, but it’s a necessary chore—no one can afford to buy new clothes every time they leave the house, and we all need something to wear.

But there’s no reason time spent in the laundry room can’t be more pleasant, and a big help in that department is keeping the laundry room more organized and clutter-free.

Open Shelves Can Open up a Space

Shelving can go anywhere in the laundry room and is a way of utilizing overheard or vertical space for storage and organization.

Stock up on Baskets

Storage baskets are easy to find at the local home store or hardware store. Canadian Tire surprisingly has a great supply of baskets and storage containers. They can be lined up on shelves, and bookcases, as a uniform way to stay organized.

Try Some Hanging Drying Rods

If there’s no room for hanging hooks or shelves on the wall, installing one long rod can take advantage of vertical space in the same way. Items in need of a storage home can be hung from the rods, whether they are clothes hanging to dry, extra robe hanging in the laundry room or clothes waiting to be ironed.

Organize With a Lazy Susan

The Lazy Susan is not just for pantries and bathrooms. These can be a simple but practical way of sorting and organizing all sorts of laundry products and tools in one place!

Get Some Shelving Units

While open shelves are always helpful, there’s not always space for them on the wall—and wall-mounted shelves tend to look a little awkward when placed too low. Get storage that can use the whole wall with a shelving unit that can be wheeled right in and placed in whatever corner space is available.
