Elevating your laundry room from a space you avoid to a functional and beautiful room will make your daily chores a little easier, no matter how small the space. Whether you’re designing a laundry room for a new home, remodeling, or just want a quick refresh, our ideas will help your space be pleasing to look at and use.

Open Shelving

Having easy access to laundry supplies is key, especially when you’re in a rush. Add open shelving above the washer and dryer to place detergent, stain remover, and other laundry essentials on. For an even cleaner look, utilize labeled baskets that will keep all of your items organized. Open shelving also gives an airy feel to any room, helping it feel larger.

Create Extra Storage

Need laundry room storage ideas? Lucky for you, there are tons of creative ways to make space for all your extra items in a functional and stylish way. Try putting your machines on one wall and making built-in shelves on the other wall to store cleaning supplies, seasonal clothing, linens and more. Built-ins that extend from floor to ceiling offer dozens of opportunities to hide away items you don’t need every day.

Free-standing shelving systems, bookshelves, rolling carts or floating islands are other great storage options. They can hold all of your supplies without getting in the way of doing laundry.

Add a Sink

If you’re looking to add extra convenience and functionality to your laundry room, try adding a sink. Whether you need to rinse out a stain or hand-wash a delicate piece of clothing, having a sink readily available in your laundry room saves you from running back and forth to the kitchen or bathroom. A Touch2O® faucet is the perfect choice for a laundry room sink. If you get detergent on your hands, a simple touch on the faucet will turn it on, keeping you from dirtying the handle.

Create a Multifunctional Space

Utilizing every corner of your space is a must, especially in smaller homes. Making your laundry room multifunctional can help you save space in other areas of your home. If you’re a pet lover, try adding a water station with a pot filler or a dog washing station with a hand shower. If you enjoy crafting, add a table that has space for folding clothes and arts and crafts projects. Love gardening? Install a large sink for watering plants, washing containers and rinsing garden tools. The possibilities are endless!

Stack Your Machines

If you’re limited on space, try stacking your washing machine and dryer in a built-in for a sleek look. You can even add extra storage space for laundry baskets or drying racks.

Having a functional and beautiful laundry room will make the seemingly endless loads of laundry more manageable, and even enjoyable!
