While it may not be the most luxurious spot in your home (unless you're lucky enough to have a finished basement), it's a practical spot for your laundry. If you have a room in your home that doesn't get a ton of use, like a powder room or sunroom, consider transforming it into (or taking a piece of it for) a laundry room. If your existing bathroom layout doesn't all space for your laundry, consider converting a bathtub to a shower stall to make room for a stacking washer/dryer.

Your bathroom can be a convenient spot to install laundry because you'll already have the plumbing sited. A walk-in closet (even a small one) in an upstairs bedroom is also an ideal spot for laundry. Use bi-fold doors to maximize traffic flow when you're doing laundry. A stacking washer/dryer can fit in a small hall closet. But, if you still need a spot to fit a washer and dryer, here are a few spots to consider: If you live in a small house, you may not have any laundry room at all. Where do you put your laundry in a small house? Make sure there is a decent amount of work surface around the sink and elsewhere in the kitchen for sorting through laundry and stacking baskets – or tuck them out of the way in a nearby niche. A faucet with a pull-out or extendible spray valve is perfect for general cleaning, as well as filling buckets and washing down bulky items. Often, a very big or deep sink such as a robust Belfast style is top of a utility wish list for washing whites and colors than need to be cleaned by hand, rinsing off muddy wellies and football boots, washing stuffed animals and cleaning bath toys, and even washing the dog if you are combining your laundry room with practical mudroom ideas.

As well as wall and base cabinets and pull-out drawers for stashing smaller items (batteries, bin bags, paper towels, etc), don't forget a tall cabinet for keeping an iron, ironing board, mop and bucket and vacuum cleaner. Well-organized storage is key to maximizing space in a small laundry room.

How do you maximize space in a small laundry room? A laundry pedestal with built in drawers, on the other can, can save your back and create valuable storage space in your laundry room. It contrasts well with the rest of the laundry room closet.Laundry pedestals are handy for front-loading washer-dryers because they eliminate the need to bend over every time you flip the laundry or clean a washing machine.

Think about adding art and pretty gold hooks to your laundry room closet. I also love a copper dustpan and a hand broom. I really wanted to pay attention to detail in this closet, so I found a cute white broom and added a little bit of my own detailing to it. I wanted to keep the closet a flexible area so using different sizes of containers helped me keep everything in here I need! My favorite containers are the pink metal storage boxes and woven seagrass baskets with pom-poms. I opted for miss-matched baskets and containers for a fun look. Of course, you have to have all of your laundry room closet organizers. I love the shelves as they are easy to install for a DIY laundry room closet. Our small closet laundry room makeover wasn’t complete without these beautiful oak floating shelves by Ultra Shelf. The pink against the golden yellow botanical wallpaper looks bright and inviting! I started by removing all of the tiles and replaced them with beautiful coral tiles. With a little help from my husband Carter and we did have some electrician work as well. It’s so bright and fun and fits in with the rest of our bungalow! DIY Laundry Room Closet Now, this closet is more than just a laundry room broom closet.
