Laundry Room Organization Ideas

The laundry room is often one of the most underappreciated spaces in a home. It’s purpose-built and works hard, handling piles of clothes, cleaning supplies, and more. Yet, many laundry rooms lack the flow and functionality of other rooms of the house. 

With a bit of planning and the right tools, you can transform your laundry room into a functional and inviting space, making it not only easy to do your laundry, but also (dare I say) fun. Let’s dive into practical organization tips and showcase some standout products that can help you maximize efficiency and style.

1. Start with Decluttering and Cleaning

Before deciding on what storage you need, take a moment to assess your laundry room’s current state. Remove unneeded items and sort through the essentials. 

This is also a great opportunity to do some cleaning—items in your laundry room are quick to gather dust and lint. Make your fresh start even fresher by dusting off all your detergents and cleaning solutions.

Once you’ve pared down your belongings, it’s easier to implement solutions that work for your space.

2. Maximize Wall Space with Shelving and Hooks

One of the simplest ways to keep your laundry room tidy is to make use of wall space for storage. Adding shelves and hooks ensures that your essentials are within easy reach without cluttering countertops or floors.

1'x4' Bristol Wall Shelves

The Bristol Wall Shelves are a game-changer for small spaces. These industrial-grade shelves can hold heavy detergents, fabric softeners, and other cleaning supplies while maintaining a sleek look.

With a minimalist design and 3 color options, they blend seamlessly with any decor, and they’re perfect for stacking baskets or bins for added organization. Mount them stacked or side-by-side—whichever is best for your laundry room’s flow.

Bedrock Wall Hook

Use the Bedrock Wall Hook to hang items like stepladders, reusable grocery bags, cleaning tools like brooms and mops, or even an ironing board. Its durable design ensures it can handle the weight (up to 50 lbs), and its compact size makes it versatile for tight spaces.

3. Add Multipurpose Furniture for Functionality

Incorporating furniture that serves multiple purposes can dramatically increase your laundry room’s efficiency.

Wakefield Foldable Table

The Wakefield Foldable Table is perfect for folding clothes, organizing items, or even tackling DIY projects. When not in use, it folds flat against the wall to save space. This practical feature is ideal for compact laundry rooms that need to balance functionality with space-saving design.

4. Keep Cleaning Supplies in Order

An organized laundry room isn’t just about managing clothes; it’s also about having a designated place for cleaning supplies.

Afton Utility Organizer

The Afton Utility Organizer is your go-to solution for hanging mops, brooms, and dusters. With its wall-mounted design, it frees up floor space and keeps cleaning tools neatly arranged. It also features a built-in shelf for smaller items like sponges or sprays. Organize the essentials while taking up minimal wall space.

The Everything Utility Cart

For an even more versatile option, consider The Everything Utility Cart. Its rolling design allows you to move it wherever it’s needed, and its spacious tiers can hold laundry detergents, dryer sheets, and even freshly folded clothes. Since it’s on wheels, you can roll it anywhere in the home. When not in use, simply tuck it into a corner.

5. Create a Folding Station

A dedicated area for folding clothes can make laundry chores more efficient and enjoyable.

Wakefield Foldable Table

This foldaway table is worth mentioning again—its sturdy, fold-out design is ideal for sorting and folding laundry. Plus, its natural wood finish adds a touch of warmth to your space.

6. Organize with Baskets

Sometimes, laundry rooms need solutions for items that don’t fit neatly on a shelf. Baskets are a great option for storing everything from loose socks and folded clothes to dryer balls and extra cleaning supplies.

G-Basket

The G-Basket, a wall-mounted basket system, is a stylish and functional way to store items that don’t fit well on flat surfaces. Plus, its detachable baskets double as portable laundry bins, making it easy to carry clothes to different rooms or gather items from around the house.

Whether you’re managing small essentials or oversized items, the G-Basket provides both practicality and flexibility.

7. Install a Convenient Cleaning Station

For laundry rooms that double as utility spaces, having a cleaning station can be a lifesaver.

Quick Clean Station

The Quick Clean Station combines a paper towel holder with a wall-mounted shelf, offering a convenient spot for cleaning supplies. Use it to keep disinfectant wipes, gloves, and sprays at arm’s reach. It’s a small addition that can make a big difference in keeping your laundry area neat and tidy.

8. Make Use of Corners and Awkward Spaces

Corners and awkward nooks in laundry rooms often go underutilized. With the right products, these areas can become valuable storage zones.

Tip: Place corner shelves or smaller wall hooks in these areas to store items like stain removers or delicate washing bags.

9. Keep Hampers Out of the Way

Hampers are essential, but they can take up valuable floor space. Consider wall-mounted or stackable options to minimize their footprint.

10. Maintain an Aesthetic Appeal

An organized laundry room doesn’t just function well—it should also look good. Incorporate cohesive storage containers, matching baskets, and pops of color to create a visually pleasing space. Real-wood products like the Wakefield Foldable Table offer furniture-quality storage that elevates your space.

11. Create Zones for Efficiency

Divide your laundry room into distinct zones: washing, drying, folding, and storing. This setup streamlines your workflow and ensures every item has its place. Use products like the Bristol Wall Shelves and Wakefield Foldable Table to create clear, functional areas.

12. Add a Touch of Personalization

Don’t forget to make the space your own. Add decorative touches like fun wall colors, framed art, small plants, or a colorful rug to make your laundry room a place you enjoy spending time in.

13. Keep It Clean and Maintainable

Once your laundry room is organized, maintaining it is key. Dedicate a few minutes each week to tidying up and putting items back in their designated spots. Products like the Afton Utility Organizer and Quick Clean Station make it easy to stay on top of clutter.

Conclusion

With these tips and the right storage solutions, your laundry room can become a well-organized and efficient space. From the Wakefield Foldable Table to the G-Basket and Quick Clean Station, these products are designed to meet your organization needs while adding style and functionality.
