Tips to Maximise a Small Laundry Room

In contemporary homes, we may not have excess space for a dream laundry room. In fact, this space may be small and cramped – filled with huge appliances and all the essentials needed to do the laundry. But it doesn’t need to cramp our style. In fact, with a few simple tweaks, we can revamp this dull space and make it a more inviting and functional area to work in.

Here are our top tips to help you create a beautiful and fresh new laundry room at home. Storage is king If you are battling with the universal problem of limited space and endless washing – do not fret. Clever storage solutions can quickly help to declutter your laundry room and transform it into a more appealing area. Choose floating shelves for any open wall spaces or baskets and crates to hide any detergents and clutter. Keep the room clean and sleek and minimalize the mess for a more appealing look. Customised spaces

Whether you have a front loader or top loader washing machine, you may want to customise the space with built-in cabinetry to fit your appliances. A front loader can easily fit underneath a full-length counter or opt for a cut-out countertop for your top-loader. If your budget permits it, why not build a complete unit with doors – this way you can neatly close away your appliances when not in use and the cabinetry can fit into the overall design scheme of your home. Keep it organised

Dirty laundry is not very appealing. But there are ways to help you organise the space and help you feel more cheerful when faced with endless washing. Why not invest in matching laundry baskets or storage containers, to match your interior style, and to help organise your laundry into piles – for whites, colours and delicate clothes. Organisation will help you tackle the task of laundry with ease! A place to dry and iron

Your laundry room may need to be a multi-functional space in which you can do both the washing and drying of clothing. If this is the case, ensure that you have ample storage for an ironing board with extra rods for hanging those neatly ironed shirts and clothing. Countertop space may also be important to help you fold and temporarily store your clean clothes. Keep it clean and crisp and maximise your home’s laundry room with a few personal touches. A pop of colour – whether through artwork, a painted surface or signboard – will help to add cheer and make this a more inviting area in your home.
