If your laundry closet is tall enough, a stacking washer and dryer will make the most of your storage space. Build shelves or a cabinet next to the machines and use every available inch of vertical space for stacking laundry baskets or hanging rods for drying clothes. If there’s room, make an ironing station by installing a small fold-down ironing board and iron-holding bracket beside it.

2. Laundry Room Basket Storage Ideas

If you tend to let the dirty clothes pile up until you have nothing to wear, having just one laundry basket won’t do. Ideally, each bedroom or bathroom should have its own laundry hamper or basket for moving clothes to and from the laundry room. A laundry basket on wheels makes it easier to move clothes between the washer and dryer and from room to room.

Build an extra laundry room shelf to store laundry baskets between uses. Purchase inexpensive wire and fabric baskets to store smaller items on your shelving, such as fabric softener sheets and stain removal sticks. If you have a lot of unused wall space, install wall-mounted baskets to hold your laundry supplies.

3. Hallway Laundry Room Storage Ideas

A wide hallway or hallway closet can be a convenient place to create a small laundry room. Maximize the area’s laundry room storage by using the back of the doors to hang supplies. For instance, hang your ironing board inside one door. Screw a series of hooks along the top of the other door and hang a strip of fabric pockets to hold buttons, a sewing kit, and other small laundry-related items.
