Every centimetre counts in a compact laundry room, so the best storage works above, beside and behind your machines. Organize your small laundry space with these ideas, focused on simple fixtures and products that make the room easier to use day to day.

What to store where

Item Why it works
High shelves Spare detergent and linens
Eye level Everyday supplies
Cart Stain sprays and clothes pegs
Door Brushes and cloths
Hamper Dirty laundry

Shelves and cabinets

  1. Install shelves above the washer and dryer.
  2. Add floating shelves for light items.
  3. Choose slim vertical cabinets for brooms and the ironing board.
  4. Use adjustable shelving inside cupboards.

Door and wall storage

  1. Hang an over-the-door rack.
  2. Use hanging hampers on hooks.
  3. Install a wall-mounted drying rack.
  4. Add a wall-mounted drop-down table for folding.

Carts, bins and labels

  1. Roll a slim cart between machines and wall.
  2. Label everything so the family can help.
  3. Choose matching bins for a clean look.
  4. Add a countertop above front loaders.

Tip: Store detergents, pods and bleach on high shelves or behind child locks, as they are dangerous if swallowed or splashed in eyes. Fix shelves into studs, keep dryer vents unobstructed and clean the lint filter after each load.
