Laundry Room Design & Organization Tips
When it comes to the laundry room/closet, I find that it’s often an overlooked space. Clothes and supplies strewn haphazardly about doesn’t make for a feeling of peace when doing laundry. And let’s be honest: that’s not always a task that is the most enjoyable. Of course it doesn’t have to be a designer workshop, but there are several things you can do to make the room more visually appealing and useful. Function is more important than form in this space, but it doesn’t mean it can’t look more aesthetically pleasing.
* Continue the color story from the room next to the laundry
There’s no need to create an entirely new design in this space. Simply use the same paint and accent colors from the space directly next to the laundry room. It will give the room a more cohesive look, especially if there isn’t a door to close the room off from the rest of the house.
* Focus on useful storage
Putting in some shelving units to hold all the various items needed for laundry will be a life saver for the cleanliness of your room. Be sure to consider where you will store your baskets, cleaning supplies, hangers, clothespins, and fold the clothes once they are clean.
* Use large glass jars, and wicker or wire baskets to hold your supplies
Having your supplies neatly organized will go a long way in making the space feel more designer, and remain looking clean. Furthermore, you’ll be able to easily see everything you need, so no more searching for those new supplies you know you put in here somewhere…
* Be consistent with brands you buy (or make your own cleaners)
While labels on cleaning supplies aren’t made to look pretty, it looks much more pleasing to the eye when the brands/colors of bottles are all the same. If you stick to one brand, even looking at your the supplies will be more peaceful. Or, go the extra mile like I do, and make your own! It’s easy, inexpensive, and natural. Plus, it looks amazing organized in glass containers because it doesn’t stand out like a big orange bottle would.
* Everything should match
This tip may seem foolish, but the reason many laundry rooms look haphazard is because all of the supplies of various colors. By choosing a neutral color palette for things like a broom and dustpan, and continuing to buy supplies in that neutral shade, the room looks less chaotic and more visually appealing.
While you certainly don’t need to invest a lot of time or money in your laundry room, I hope these tips will help you to make it a more welcoming room in your home. We sure spend enough time in there; may as well make it a place we enjoy being!
