Laundry Room Ideas That'll Make the Small Space Functional

Laundry Room Ideas That'll Make the Small Space Functional

You might even start looking forward to laundry day.
Vintage Decor


Give some life to your laundry room by decorating with vintage finds of wall art, jars, or baskets.

Woven Baskets


Keep a tiny laundry room organized by providing plenty of storage options, like these cute woven baskets to hold linens and towels.

Armoire Storage


If your laundry room is lacking built-in storage, an easy fix is using a large armoire and filling it with all your cleaning necessities.

Mix Patterns


Feel free to get a little experimental in your laundry room, since it's a space that's basically just for your family! Mixing fun patterns can make a tiny spot feel cheery.

Beadboard Drying Rack


Drying racks can take up precious floor space in a laundry room. Instead, install a collapsable drying rack, like this one which pops out of the wall to hang dry any delicate items.

DIY Countertop


You can save space by creating this DIY counter to fit above your washer and dryer for the perfect folding station.

Upcycled Organization


Every organizational trick in this cute and quirky laundry room is a DIY hack. Turn jelly jars into cute catchalls for loose change and buttons. A wooden ladder can be used as a hanging station, and an old ironing board can become a bulletin board. There's no limit to the treasures you can make with your trash!

Double Machines


For large families with lots of laundry, consider doubling up with two stackable units that save time and space. An oversize table makes a pleasant spot for folding laundry, ironing, sewing, or even working on crafts.

Add Storage


Not ready to invest time and money in a major renovation? Try this simple fix that has big impact: Place a vintage table between the washer and dryer for additional storage.

Creative Storage


Put things that you love but no longer use, such as this doll house, to playful yet practical use. Anchored to the wall with decorative brackets, it becomes the highlight in an otherwise understated room. Each room of the doll house makes an easy-to-access cubby for laundry supplies.

Hidden Ironing Board


This ironing board folds up and slides neatly out of the way in a customized drawer when not in use. For a similar solution at less-than-custom prices, try an ironing cupboard, a shallow cabinet that holds a foldaway ironing board and supplies. Or use the simple over-the-door ironing board.
