Now since you’re reading this article, I assume you have probably realized the usable space potential in your laundry room, so check out these tips in laundry room design!

Open Up the Room a Little

The wall that is behind the washer/dryer has pretty large storage space. Let me guess: you probably have only one shelf above the washer/dryer, meaning you’re only utilizing a small portion of that wall. No wonder you feel like you don’t have enough room to put anything behind it!

How can you use that space to its full potential? Well, you can start by building a rubber coating platform that will go underneath your washer/dryer combo. This way, not only will you cut down on noise from the combo, but you will also get space for whatever fits in: storing out-of-season clothing, linens, etc.

Have you ever thought of laundry room workspace? How does countertop for folding sound to you? You can place a cabinet under the countertop for the laundry detergents bottles or boxes. Installing small shelves or buckets is also a good idea.
