We all have it. Laundry is one of those chores we either love or hate. Some people have the luxury and space to store their laundry in a large room. Our laundry rooms are usually small, so it is essential to maximize the space and functionality.
Here are some ideas to make the most of your tiny laundry room.
How Do You Maximize Space In A Small Laundry Room?
The best way to maximize the space in any room is to utilize as much space as possible creatively. Storage space is a big bonus in any room but is particularly useful in a laundry room.
You can maximize storage space by installing floor-to-ceiling cupboards. It will also keep your stuff organized and out of reach. Easy pull-out drawers can be great for laundry supplies, while long vertical cabinets work great for vacuums, brooms, and other cleaning products.
How Will A New Laundry Room Increase The Value And Appeal Of My Home?
Traditionally, the laundry room hasn’t had much love. Typically, it’s in the basement, with the basics, a washer, dryer, and laundry sink, likely on an unfinished floor in a room or area of the basement with an ugly single light – not very inviting and creepy.
It will make it more inviting and practical, as well as make the experience pleasant for prospective buyers. You can increase the home’s value by updating your laundry rooms.
Many new home builders recognize and appreciate the importance of a functional laundry area for homebuyers today, so they make sure to include it in the design process from the very beginning.
Tip #1- Where’s the Best Place To Have a Laundromat?
Well, that depends on your needs. The laundry room is typically situated in the basement if you have an older home. Laundry rooms in unfinished basements provide a level of protection from the rest of the living area should you have an unfortunate flood.
Tip #2- Use Laundry Room Cabinets for Storage and Functionality
Being a bit of a neat freak, having lots of storage helps me stay organized, with everything having a designated space. I’m also a big fan of floor-to-ceiling cabinets. It’s the best way to get the most out of your small laundry room. However, custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry can come at a premium price, but there are other alternatives to consider.
Tip #3 – Add Shelves to Your Laundry Room
There are many creative ways to add storage, from lots of ready-made shelving units on wheels to creative up-cycled pieces of furniture. You would be amazed what a coat of paint will do to a tired old bookcase – a great storage solution on a budget!
Tip 4 – What Type of Sink Should You Choose for Your Laundry Room?
While a sink in the laundry room is convenient, it isn’t required if you have the proper plumbing that allows the water from your washer to drain into the sewage line. However, a sink is very beneficial, and highly suggest having one — it’s great for handwashing articles of clothing, cleaning oven racks, or even bathing your pup!
