Handsome Cabinetry

A single window once limited this laundry space's storage potential, but small cabinets came to the rescue. Without blocking out natural light, the upper cabinets add enough space to keep laundry supplies nice and tidy. A large laundry room countertop is the perfect spot for folding laundry. A tension rod in the center of the built-ins provides hanging space.

Stacked Solution

This compact mudroom had hardly any room for a laundry—until a space-saving solution put everything in its place. Stacking the washer and dryer cut space needed for laundry in half, giving storage and work space to the kitchen. Built-in closets and laundry room cabinets give narrow storage and a smal counter space.

Eye-Catching Patterns

Striking wallpaper instantly defines a space, while looking trendy and playful. Choose a pattern that matches your color scheme for an effortless way to accent your laundry room's decor. A white and blue floral design keeps with the white shelves and appliances, and a piece of colorful art adds character to the efficient laundry room.

Compact Solutions

Barn doors are one of our favorite laundry room door ideas for small spaces. Sliding orange barn doors provide a seamless transition from one room to another in this laundry room design idea. By using sliding doors, there is less space taken up by swung-open doors or folded accordion doors. Thoughtful touches —like ceiling-mount lighting—make the space feel less like a closet and more like a small-scale laundry room.

Sorting Bins

Look for laundry room accessories like baskets, bins, boxes, shelves, and cubbies for the ultimate organization. Rolling wire laundry bins make sorting simple and effective. They roll easily under a long countertop, and wire shelves about hold supplies or delicate items. This setup also takes up no extra floor space—a real plus in a small area laundry room layout.

Tucked Away

This laundry room door idea tucks the area away in a closet for easy access, but also easy hiding. Just shutting the etched glass doors keeps the appliance out of sight when the space is used as a living room. A folding clothes rack can be collapsed and stored when not in use, but provides tons of hanging space when needed.

Contain Clutter

Streamline your laundry process by making organization part of your routine. Start this laundry room decor idea by designating one low-profile location, such as a wide armoire, to corral regularly used items. Use bins and baskets to prevent smaller items from getting lost. Plus, using bins ensures organization—and easy access.

A Lesson from the Kitchen

Designed with kitchen utility in mind, this laundry room decor makes great use of space, and everything is arranged on one wall. The washer and dryer tuck under a countertop like a dishwasher, providing a workspace above for folding clothes.

Tile Backsplash

Add an instant focal point to your laundry room with a colorful backsplash. This stylish laundry room design was made from an assortment of painted ceramic tile installed behind the sink and folding area. Blue, white, and rustic orange give this space some much-needed pizzazz without overpowering the neutral colors in the rest of the room.

Organize with Baskets

Use baskets to organize laundry room essentials so you can find what you need at a glance. Removable cloth liners protect the baskets from spills and can be washed as needed to keep them fresh. Store them on open shelves or on a countertop for a cute and handy display.

Storage for Tight Spaces

Laundry room layouts are often small, so utilize every inch of available space. Because you can't afford to waste a sliver of space in a small laundry room, take storage as high as you can with custom shelving. The angled ceiling in this laundry room puts storage to the test, but well-spaced shelves allow plenty of room for stacking towels and detergent without making the area feel overcrowded.
