More Room for a laundry room

Diane Carlisle on Aug 15, 2014Could you possibly remove the doors and put bi-fold doors in? Or hang curtains in the doorway? I had bi-fold doors on my closets, they were old and falling down. I replaced them with tension rods and purchased curtains.Helpful Reply

Elizabeth on Aug 15, 2014I am going to make a guess here that your W/D and Furnace are on opposite sides of the room? If so place a bi-fold door on the furnace side to hide it. Remove the door going into the laundry and replace it with a barn style door. You can actually use the same door. Just frame it a bit larger to be sure to cover the entire opening. Mine had two doors, one coming in from the garage and another going to the hall by the kitchen. we kept the garage door as it was. We made the hall door a barn door and it worked out wonderfully.Helpful Reply

Vicki K on Aug 15, 2014We took the door off between the kitchen and our tiny laundry room- it was in the way! So the hinges are still there and look ugly. We have two trash cans (regular and recycle) against the opposite wall, and that's all the room there is! I'm thinking of putting shelves all around, maybe two levels. That's all I can do : go UP. Maybe you too.Helpful Reply

Irish53 on Aug 15, 2014Can you put in a pocket door? I would use shelve above the for the soap. or if there is enough floor space for the rack that goes between the washer and dryer. Use other wall space to hang a shelf for two laundry baskets. There are shelves that have a rod for hanging clothes while wash is folded. With the furnace in the same room you would have to be extra careful where you have clothes.Helpful Reply

Donna on Aug 17, 2014We just started on our laundry room and the first thing we did was flip the door frame so the door opens out instead of into the room. Made all the difference.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Aug 18, 2014A pocket door would be great. Just slides into the wall, freeing up needed space. Pushing aside a curtain going in and out would get on my nerves.Helpful Reply
