Your laundry room needs to work for your household. However, with a little thought and some flair, you can make the room a fun spot to be. From colorful sorting bins to clever storage tools, you can make your laundry room more than just a spot for dirty clothes.
Make it One-of-a-Kind
Do you have space for some unique modifications? What if you added a laundry chute or even a slide? Even if a chute won’t work, consider setting up fun multi-colored bins that you can use to sort items quickly and efficiently. Finally, don’t use this space just for laundry. You may find a spot along the wall where you can add a craft table or a desk for handling household bills.
Hang Art
In addition to adding a fresh coat of paint, try incorporating themed art into your laundry room. Crafty folks might even enjoy creating dryer lint art for the room. Another option is to create a corkboard for lonely socks to hang out while looking for a mate.
Change the Lighting
Because you may be working over your head folding sheets and towels, consider adding recessed lighting to your laundry room. If you’ve got a folding counter, task lighting fixtures or pendants close to the wall would also be a great addition. Finally, consider adding motion detector lighting to the area so that you can leave the laundry room confident that the light will turn off on its own if your hands are full of clean clothes.
Add Storage
If your laundry room is very small, it can be hard to find a spot to store things. Try adding a rolling or pull-out rack that can fit beside your washer or dryer. It’s also critically important that you consider your safety when setting up storage shelves because products like bleach and large bottles of soap can be difficult to handle if stored on high shelves. For lighter objects such as boxes of dryer sheets, try an over-the-door shoe holder. If you’ve got space for a large shelf unit, you can set up an overflow pantry. This would be a great place to store extra toilet paper, paper towels, and other nonperishable products that you can stock up on when on sale.
A well-organized and well-decorated laundry room can make this chore easier to manage and more pleasant. By putting the storage options in this space to use, you can stretch your budget and save yourself some time.
