Creative laundry room storage ideas
- Add open shelves above the machines for baskets and supplies.
- Fit a butcher block counter over front-loading machines for folding.
- Install a hanging rod for shirts straight from the dryer.
- Mount a fold-down drying rack on the wall.
- Use a pegboard for brushes, pegs and lint rollers.
- Slide a rolling cart into the gap beside the machines.
- Decant pods and pegs into glass jars with lids.
- Use matching woven baskets for sorted laundry.
- Add tall cabinets for the vacuum, mop and ironing board.
- Hang an over-door organiser for sprays and cloths.
Tip: Keep detergent pods and cleaning chemicals in closed containers on high shelves or in a locked cabinet away from children, as pods can be dangerous if bitten or swallowed; never mix bleach with ammonia or other cleaners, and clean the dryer lint filter every load to reduce fire risk.
