This post is all about genius laundry room ideas!
If you’ve been dying to revamp your laundry room or need inspiration for your new home’s laundry space, you’ve come to the right place.
We fold a LOT of laundry over the course of our lives, so we might as well make our laundry space as fun and functional as possible. Life is just too short to fold laundry in a blah looking space!
From creative organization ideas to crafty storage solutions…This post has something for everyone, and I hope you find something that inspires you to make your laundry room a little more special!
Here are 30 genius laundry room ideas!
Laundry organization ideas:
1. Woven basket storage
One of the cutest (and neatest ways) to store your laundry supplies is by making use of these woven storage baskets. They are versatile and look great tucked into shelving or openly resting on your washer/dryer!
2. Create a folding station
If you have the space to make a folding table in your laundry room, then you should do it! It will make doing laundry all the more seamless because you can just fold as soon as the clothes exit the dryer. Wrinkles don’t stand a chacnce!
I like to keep a few laundry baskets on hand to so I can sort everyone’s laundry into their own separate basket.
3. Glass jars
Let’s face it, packaging for laundry products typically isn’t the cutest. That’s why I opt to use glass jars instead!
Glass jars not only keep everything fresh, but are a nice aesthetic way to store your fragrance beads, laundry pods and detergent.
Purchase a variety of sizes to fit your needs and then just restock your jars when you’re running low.
4. Floating Shelves
Floating shelves are one of the sleekest ways to create more storage and decorating space in your home.
I love placing a few storage items on my shelves and then adding some decorative touches with candles, small decorations, signs and other personalized items that make me smile.
Normal shelving can definitely be good for some things (after all, floating shelves can only hold so much weight), but they tend to not look quite as aesthetic as these babies do!
5. Use ceiling drying rack
Not all clothes are made for the dryer, so it’s important to have a place where you can hang those delicates. I love this ceiling drying rack because It looks beautiful and saves a lot of space when cleverly hung above the washing and drying machines!
6. Hampers for sorting
Hampers are a must in the laundry room to help organize the whites, from the darks, from the colors. Sorting your laundry and running separate loads like this helps keep the colors from running together. And therefore makes your clothes look nicer, longer.
You can get this 3-section hamper or opt to get separate baskets like these for easy clothing sorting.
7. Wire basket storage
If wicker baskets aren’t really your style, then try these cool wire ones instead!
8. Laundry room countertop
If your washer and dryer live side by side, I feel like it’s only natural to lay a folding table across the top. It’s SO much easier to fold laundry on a table of proportionate height than having to bend way down (and potentially cause yourself back issues).
I love this space’s nice long table because it creates a convenient place to store the laundry hampers underneath.
9. Sliding barn doors
I love the idea of sliding barn doors for a laundry room entryway. It’s an easy way to hide the whole laundry operation when entertaining guests or when you don’t want to think about laundry.
10. Farmhouse flare
To me, laundry rooms and the farmhouse aesthetic just go hand in hand. If you’re in the middle of a laundry room remodel, or about to move into a new space…Don’t count this beauty out!
The white tile backdrop combined with the stone flooring works extremely well with the stunning color palate and gorgeous details in the styling!
11. Ironing board storage
Truthfully, I rarely feel like ironing. But if my iron was in an easy-to-reach place like this, then I would probably iron more often.
12. Dark wood look
I’m a sucker for a dark wooden moment. And with the white brick backsplash, this laundry room is…*chef’s kiss*.
I love how all the cleaning products are all lined up neat, and this laundry space looks so put together.
13. Vertical laundry closet
One of the most space efficient ways to store a washer and dryer is to stack them and place them in a closet like this.
If you’re living in a small home or apartment, this may be a great solution for you!
There’s nothing wrong with folding your laundry on the dining room table or on your bed!
14. Pop of color
I love a well-thought-out pop of color moment! I had to include this pink grouted tile because it has the be one of the most unique ways to add a pop of color to your laundry room space!
15. Add some greenery
All rooms should have some leafy friends living inside. There’s just something about plants that instantly brighten up and liven up any room. If you feel like you can’t be a good plant mom to save your life, you can always opt to get some fake plant buddies instead. I think they make a huge difference for any space.
16. Labeled supplies
A lot of times, our laundry rooms serve as the home base for all of our cleaning supplies too.
This below-the-sink laundry storage idea is functional, organized and genius!
17. Hang a clothes rack
Laundry can feel like a full-scale production sometimes, especially when certain fabrics demand to be air dried instead of tumbled. That’s why it’s important to have a drying rack at your disposal.
18. Sunlit laundry room
If you’re lucky enough to have a laundry room with natural light, make sure to use it to your advantage! Flooding any room with lots of light makes it look more spacious, warm and inviting.
19. Free standing laundry shelf
If you’re looking for a way to create a whole bunch of extra laundry room organization space! These free standing shelves are perfect!
20. Wallpaper
Adding wallpaper to your laundry room’s walls can easily change the entire look and personality of the room. It’s a good opportunity to create contrast within your home and do something a little spontaneous and different. Look at how this leafy wallpaper adds as gorgeous light and airy effect to this laundry space!
21. Cute signs
One cute decorating idea to add to your laundry room are signs like these! Yes, they’re a little self-explanatory, but I like em!
22. Tile wall:
This cute little laundry spot is made special by the unique black and white tiles behind the machines. If you know you want to do something a little different in your laundry room, pick out some nice tiling and it will make all the difference!
23. Install overhead cabinets:
Personally, I think overhead cabinets like these are one of the smartest ways to store things in a home.
The over-the-washer-and-dryer space is perfect for storing extra cleaning supplies, linens or whatever else you need, without taking up other precious real estate in the house!
24. Add a console for extra storage
Adding a nice wooden console into your laundry room may be the perfect solution to give you a little extra space. Not only can you tuck some baskets underneath, but it provides a nice surface on top for treating stains or de-tagging new clothes.
25. Laundry nook:
I can’t get over how cute and fun this little laundry nook is!
26. Coat hanger rack above machines:
If you don’t have the space for a whole separate drying rack…You could always opt to hang one of these guys for fabrics that fare much better being air dried.
This could also be a great place to hang and separate shirts that need to be ironed, for when you finally get around to ironing (lol).
27. All in one washer and dryer
If you seriously want to upgrade the efficiency of your laundry room, try an all in one washer and dryer. Yes, that’s a thing now.
It’s a major space saver, and it creates a more streamline laundry experience by eliminating the process of switching the laundry from the washer to the dryer.
28. Hide the evidence
One creative way to make everything look less busy is by hanging curtains in front of your washer and dryer. No one has to know that laundry was done in this room…
29. Overhead ladder
This repurposed ladder is such a creative storage solution and gives the room a gorgeous rustic and eclectic touch. If you have an old ladder kicking around and want to do something a little out of the box, this might be your answer!
30. Chalkboard chores
Last but certainly not least, we have the laundry room chalkboard! Perfect for listing and delegating out family chores and being the ultimate mom command center.
