The laundry room is likely just the laundry room and does not receive the same type of attention that the living room receives or the bedroom. While the laundry room has one specific purpose, an organized and well decorated space can make doing laundry easier and can reduce the stress you may experience. Below, we will provide you with several tips to help you organize your laundry room to get it under control.

Placement of the Appliances

The placement of the washer and dryer is strategic. You want to make sure that you have enough room to do the laundry while making sure there is enough space for you to move around and store your laundry items. You should choose appliances that meet your needs and find the right space for them within the room.

If you find that the current placement of your appliances is not ideal, think about moving them around to give yourself the look and room you are after.

Keep Your Laundry Supplies Stocked and In Order

One of the worst things that can happen is you start a load of laundry only to find yourself scrambling to locate the laundry soap. If you have a laundry room that is disorganized, you know exactly how stressful this can feel. Take some time to grab all your laundry supplies and place them in one area where you know you can reach them. You should be able to see each supply without having to move others around.

On a side note, you could get a multipurpose cart with drawers and wheels to store your additional laundry items. This way, they are mobile, and you can access them quickly.

Hang Floating Shelves

Most laundry rooms are fairly spacious, but they do not contain a lot of storage areas and sometimes, the area may be narrow, so large shelving units will not work. With that said, you can organize your laundry room utilizing floating shelves. These shelves will allow you to store additional items on them such as baskets, towels, and more. You will find that the shelves make it easy to use up the free space on the walls and provide you with additional room for things you may find you use but don’t usually have room for.

Magnetic Clips

Magnetic clips are awesome, and they come in handy too. You can place them on the wall in the laundry room and hang up missing socks. This way, the individual sock does not get lost again and you can match up pairs once you find them. It is a neat way to keep individual socks from winding up in the drawer without a match.

Metal Mailbox on the Wall

Okay, it sounds awkward right? Who would be getting mail in the laundry room. Here us out – utilize the small metal mailbox to keep your lint in and then at the end of the week, dump it. Not everyone has room for a trash can in their laundry room and by hanging up a small metal mailbox, you can eliminate that problem.

Your Laundry Room Will Look Awesome

Organizing the laundry room will help you get more laundry done and you will not feel so cramped in the space. Most laundry rooms are large but do not come with any additional storage, so people often find themselves stacking items on the floor and the room becomes a mess. Utilize the above tips to get a handle on your laundry room today.
