Mudroom Laundry Room Ideas For Small Spaces

Combining a mudroom and laundry room saves space but can quickly become chaotic. These 7 genius mudroom laundry room ideas for small spaces give every job its own zone so the room stays calm.

Zones in a combined room

Item Why it works
Laundry Machines and detergents
Drop zone Bench, hooks and shoes
Folding Counter or fold-down shelf
Storage Upper cabinets
Floor Durable, washable tile

Laundry zone

  1. Stack the washer and dryer to free floor space.
  2. Add a fold-down counter for folding.
  3. Fit upper cabinets for detergents and supplies.

Mudroom zone

  1. Build a bench with basket cubbies for shoes.
  2. Run a row of hooks for coats and bags.

Durability

  1. Choose patterned porcelain tile that hides dirt.
  2. Pick wipeable paint or cabinet colour like sage.

Tip: Stacked machines must use the manufacturer’s stacking kit so the dryer cannot shift. Keep detergent pods and cleaners in high or locked cabinets away from children, and leave the dryer vent and lint filter clear.
