Laundry room

Please post a picture so we can see what you are starting with and can give you some good ideas.

I will throw out a few ideas that have helped me organize my laundry room. We built a shelf above the washer and dryer for 5 baskets to help organize the dirty clothes. Get them off the floor!! So,

1)darks

2)lights

3)whites

4)towels,bedding

5)delicates.

Those 5 baskets have helped so much. You could even do 6 baskets because #4 can get bulky.

In the corner of the room, I have a corner shower caddy that I turned into a corner basket unit for all the mismatched socks.

I have a cabinet for all the detergents, a kitchen sink and storage underneath. In the room I have a countertop with cabinetry where I can fold clothes....(or a little one likes to sit and do homework while I am doing laundry).

I have a small closet(for the hot water heater) in the laundry room for cleaning supplies, buckets, mops, scrubbers. In that small closet I use a tension rod to hang all the extra hangers. Hope these things help you in some way!

Hi there, here are a few hometalkers that have shared their laundry room makeovers. Hopefully you'll find lots of inspiration - https://www.hometalk.com/categories/rooms-spaces/laundry-room

Here's a link with lots of ideas to get you started:

I replaced my shelves with cabinets. Painted. Added a shower curtain around the tub. Hung a few cute signs. The colorful baskets hold various supplies like microfiber cloths, rages for greasy jobs, clothes pins. I feel like it's a bit whimsical and the entire makeover was less than $500 (had to put new sheet rock because the roof leaked).

Sometimes just a coat of paint is a big refresh. We painted our concrete floor and that made a big positive impression as well.

Adding a countertop is great for folding

If you presently have a standard issue plastic 'laundry tub' ,I would advise to replace it with a stainless steel sink.

The white plastic laundry tubs are a throw back to the days when washing machines did not drain directly into wall pipes. IMO, these cheap builder grade tubs are too low to allow for standing comfortably to hand wash items without leaning over at an awkward angle.

Also, there is zero space to put any soap containers, or to set items before and after hand washing. The space underneath the huge tub is also wasted, and it is hard to retrieve items that fall in-between the tub and appliances.

My other recommendation is to mount a standard piece of laminate counter top over the washer and dryer, which will then give you folding space and somewhere other than the floor to put your laundry baskets.
