Storage & Organization | How Can I Make Laundry Day Easier?

The home organization business reels in billions of dollars a year, yet most laundry rooms contain a mishmash of mismatched rubber bins and metal shelving; maybe a small cabinet or two if you're lucky. We've got a few options that may help you out:

Boost your laundry room storage ability!

Option 1 | Several manufacturers of washers and dryers make matching storage accessories, many that go under the machines. Consider researching your brand and investing in storage for hiding laundry detergent, cleaning sprays, mats, shelves for folding laundry, etc.

Option 2 | Kitchen-quality cabinets can double as laundry-room storage spaces and carry the family’s decorating theme into the home’s new hot spot. If you have the space to add cabinets, this is a great storage option. If. you have existing cabinets that don't look very nice, upgrade the doors to spruce up the place.

Option 3 | Front-loading washers offer empty space on top, which can be used for sorting and folding laundry. Without a lid to open, the space above the washer can be filled with cabinets.

Option 4 | Move the laundry room so it’s upstairs near the bedrooms. Homeowners with large families might opt for a second washer/dryer duo, perhaps a small, stacking unit that can fit in a closet, upstairs near the master bedroom for quick loads between wash days in the main, first-floor laundry room.
