Make The Most Of Your Little Laundry With These Tips
- Combine Appliances. If you really have no space in your laundry room, sell the current washer and dryer you have in your storage unit and spring for a combination washer dryer. Not only can you use the outdoor space in your home to hang clothes, but a washer dryer can give you what you need for washing your clothes and drying your smalls. You can also save a TON of space with only one large piece of equipment in the laundry room at one time.
- Hide The Clutter. It’s so much easier to make a mess of a small space compared to a larger room, and the laundry room is no exception. You can keep your clutter at bay and you can put things away into jars, trays, baskets and bins. These can be color matched to the rest of the space and keep the worktops in the laundry room clean and clear!
- Stack ‘Em High! If you do have a separate washer and dryer, you can get them installed vertically to save a lot of room. You don't need to have tons of floor space to maximize your laundry space, and you can make room for more things in the room, such as a drying rack or two. Even then, you can move those up by...
- Put Your Drying Rack Up High! You don't need to have floor space for a drying rack, not when you get one installed above your head. Install it from one end of the room to the other at the top of the walls, and you can hang your clothes without tripping over it every time you walk into the room.
- Don't Waste An Inch. You need to do as much as you can to maximize the floor space in the laundry so that you have room to move. However, it’s not always easy to do that when you have appliances and other storage items. So, why not invest in pull-out shelves? They can be used to store your cleaning supplies and towels, and it’s a total space saver!
If you have small children, keeping them safe in precarious situations is always of utmost importance, and your laundry room is no exception. Check out this infographic from cleaninginstitute.org for safe laundry storage ideas:
