Laundry Organisation Ideas
Efficiently organising your laundry not only enhances the overall aesthetics of the room but also significantly improves its functionality. Whether you have a cramped laundry room or a special one, there are ways to make the most out of your space.
#1 Use the door
Make the most of available surfaces by using the back of the door or the adjacent wall. Install hooks or racks to hang commonly used items like brooms, iron boards, and cleaning supplies. Consider incorporating small shelves or a compact cabinet to stow away smaller essentials, keeping them easily accessible yet neatly organised.
#2 Add labels
Put labels on everything in the room so that you know exactly where to find things in a hurry. This way you can use a lot of storage baskets, bins and trays in the room and know exactly what goes in each one of them. Make sure your labels are clear and that they all look the same so that they look good in the room’s aesthetic. Consistency in labelling not only streamlines organisation but also enhances the way the room looks.
#3 Use zip ties
Keep cleaning tools such as brooms and mop handles neatly arranged with the help of zip ties. Most cleaning gear doesn’t have great handles for hanging and can be hard to put on and off. A zip tie will keep them all hanging easily so that they not only look nice on the wall but can also be taken on and off with ease. By preventing items from slipping or falling, zip ties contribute to a tidier and more organised laundry area.
#4 Make the most of the walls
Maximise available vertical space by installing shelves or wall-mounted storage solutions. These versatile additions provide convenient storage for a variety of items, freeing up valuable floor space. Consider incorporating a foldable drying rack to efficiently use wall space while offering practical drying options for clothing and linens.
#5 Install a counter
Enhance the functionality of your laundry area by installing a counter over appliances that lack top access. This additional surface area serves as a convenient workspace for folding clothes, sorting laundry, or performing other tasks. This is a great way to add some more space into the room and is especially good for small laundry areas.
#6. Mind the gap
If you have some extra space between your machines and the wall, consider adding a slim rolling cart that you can pull in and out. Here you can store small items like scrub brushes, bags, pegs, or even your laundry detergent.
#7 Add wheels to your laundry basket
This is a genius and simple hack that can save you a lot of frustration when you’re trying to cart your laundry basket around the house. Simply add some wheels to the bottom and it now becomes a lot easier to move the laundry basket from one place to the other.
Your laundry room doesn’t have to be cluttered. The more organised it is, the easier it will be to get your laundry done. And it will also be a part of the house you’re proud to show off, rather than a place where you’re always shutting the door off so nobody can see. And all it takes is a few simple hacks!
