1) SHELVING
You’ll notice in a lot of laundry rooms, the detergents and cleaning products are stuffed in the corner. Often times they get kicked over and spill or certain products are difficult to locate. Incorporate as much shelving as possible and organize all your household cleaners and detergents for easy access.
2) LOST SOCKS
For more of stylistic tip for your laundry, get clever and pragmatic with your socks. Most people lose track of their missing socks, few keep singles organized, in preparation for the day that they come across their counterparts. Take on a small DIY laundry room project and create a ‘lost socks’ sign with individual clips. Hang it up on a bare wall or the door and voila! Never lose track of your socks again.
3) BUILT-IN DRYING RACK
When doing laundry, you will inevitably come across delicates that need to be hung to dry. Most people have drying racks, but the problem with drying racks is there’s never a good place to put them. They take up too much space in bedrooms and are an eyesore in other rooms. Instead, install a built-in retractable drying rack in your laundry room. Use height to your advantage instead of settling for your typical drying rack.
4) IRONING BOARD HOOKS
As part of another DIY project, purchase a slat of wood and two coat hooks. Paint the wood to match your decor or give it a natural stain for a rustic look. Once finished, install the two coat hooks side by side (measure exact alignment with the ironing board) on the wood slat and then install the wood slat on the wall. Now you have a stylish and useful hook for your ironing board so that it never gets in the way again.
