Tips for Organizing Your Laundry Room

Remove Everything & Declutter

Before you even start reorganizing, take inventory of everything in your laundry room and relocate or throw out items that don’t belong in there. Whether it’s something large, like an unfunctional shelving unit, or small, like a bunch of laundry products that you never use, create piles of items you’d like to donate, throw out, and keep. While this may seem like a lot of work, it’s crucial a step in creating a more organized laundry room.

Prioritize Functionality

Take a look at the overall layout of your space and determine if there are ways that you can make it more practical. For instance, organize all of your laundry products so that they’re easily accessible when you throw clothes in the wash. No matter the size of your space, make sure to make changes that improve the overall functionality of the space. From installing shelving above the washer and dryer for extra storage. to adding a hamper with designated bins to make sorting clothes much easier, reorganizing your laundry room is a great way to create a more functional design.

Customize Storage

While you may already have some storage, it’s important to create storage areas with purpose. For instance, adding a cabinet that can hold your ironing board and laundry baskets will allow you to have a place to hide items that you don’t want to be seen.

Utilize the Walls

If you have a small laundry room, then you have to get a little creative when it comes to organization. Adding hooks to the walls is a great way to store an iron, drying rack, brooms, and mops. While your space may be limited, utilizing the walls can allow you to create a space with less clutter.

Group Similar Items

Adding plastic bins to group-like items can help to remove the visual clutter in your space. For instance, you can have a designated bin for detergents and another for general cleaning products. This will also ensure that you’re not having to shuffle around a bunch of products that you don’t need.

Labeling

While labeling may seem overkill, it’s a psychological technique to help you stay organized. When everything has a clear, designated space, then it’s easier to stay tidy. Especially in an open space with exposed shelving, adding labels can help you and your family keep everything in its place.
