Design by Emily Henderson Design / Photo by Tessa Neustadt

With enough ingenuity, organization, and attention to detail. there is absolutely no reason that a small laundry room can't be just as functional and good looking as a larger one. Interior designers and home decorators are always finding smart new ways to optimize small space laundry rooms, from clever layout and storage to good lighting. Paying extra attention to decor can help transform a bare bones utility room into an area of your home that is a pleasure to spend time in, rather than simply a room dedicated to household chores that must be endured.

A well designed small laundry room might include floor-to-ceiling cabinetry to maximize vertical space; stacked washer dryers to save floor space; or be part of a mud room or bathroom to create a high-functioning multipurpose hub. You can decorate your laundry room with as much creativity as any other room in the house, adding bold wallpaper, layered lighting, custom storage, a patterned tile backsplash, or a beautiful paint color. Or you can design a stealth laundry space hidden behind louvered closet doors, a barn door, a secret cabinet, or fitted into the dead space under the stairs.

A high-functioning, well decorated laundry room isn't going to make you love doing the laundry if you don't already, but it will help improve the experience. And for those who find enjoyment or satisfaction in the ritual of washing clothes and the scent of freshly laundered linens, having a well organized and stylish place to take care of the laundry it is just a bonus.

Check out these modestly proportioned, user-friendly spaces that will help inspire you to make the most of your small laundry room.

19 compact designs to save space |

Small laundry room ideas need to make the very most of every inch so everything you require from the room can be included despite its limited dimensions.

Whether you are reworking an existing small room, have gained space following an addition, or simply dream of one day having an area dedicated solely to washing and drying, clever laundry room ideas will ensure it delivers on all the items on your wishlist.

Here, we’ve put together plenty of small laundry room ideas along with expert advice on designing and organizing a laundry room to inspire you.  

Small laundry room ideas

From built-in cabinetry to shelving with plenty of rustic appeal, these small laundry room ideas offer stylish solutions that are equally functional.  

1. Work a laundry room into an awkward space

If you are working with a historic home that offers plenty of quirk, character, and awkward angles, consider how this might be of benefit to your laundry room design. Here, a space with a sloping ceiling has been transformed into a stylish, compact laundry area. 

Irene Gunter from Gunter & Co. Interiors provides the following insight: ‘Often laundry rooms are tight on space, so when designing one, storage and organization are key. 

'We relish the challenge, and work with our clients to think about their day-to-day requirements to optimize the room and make it function as efficiently as possible; what equipment do they use regularly, what needs to be accessible quickly and what can be stored away. ’ When it comes to storage, think about a place to keep appliance manuals and a guide to laundry symbols as well as laundry detergents and so on.

2. Rely on storage solutions to make the most of small laundry room ideas

If you are keen to kit out a small laundry room to its full potential, clever laundry room storage ideas are essential. 

Here, a wall drying rack – which can be neatly folded back – provides extra space for air drying without being a permanent feature when the tumble dryer temperature guide rules out machine drying. Plan to leave space on a countertop below or adjacent to a wall rack for folding towels and rolling towels, as well as for tasks such as folding fitted sheets.

3. Choose one shade for a cohesive finish

If you are renovating an existing laundry room on a budget, consider painted kitchen cabinets for a quick and effective update.

Opting for a single shade that can be used on walls, cabinetry, paneling and more will achieve a high-end, cohesive finish for little to no money. Here, a deep shade of blue is effective in framing the space and provides the perfect backdrop for accessories in neutral tones.

4. Opt for open shelving in a small laundry room

A great alternative to traditional laundry room cabinet ideas, open shelving is a clever option for those seeking to maximize storage without creating a boxy feel within a small laundry space. Just make sure you’re displaying your most delightful crockery.

Concerned your laundry room shelving will become a dumping ground for clutter? Consider investing in some well-placed rattan baskets. 

5. Invest in custom carpentry for a high-end finish

Even a tiny laundry room can achieve a high-end finish with the help of an expert.  

Not only will bespoke carpentry ensure you maximize your space, making the most of every awkward angle, but working with an experienced designer is also an effective way of building a functional scheme that will help to organize a laundry room.

6. Combine storage solutions for a modern rustic finish

And if the uniform look isn’t for you, go the opposite way by combining a variety of textures and storage solutions for a homey, unfitted finish.

Here, a shallow shelf beneath fitted cabinets provides the perfect spot for trinkets, which inject character into what might otherwise be a purely functional space. Consider concealing appliances behind a counter curtain to ensure that they are hidden away, but still easily accessible for tasks such as cleaning clothes, washing sheets and for washing pillows and washing weighted blankets, too.

7. Incorporate a laundry room into an existing space

If you cannot dedicate an entire space to the laundry room, why not consider working utility room ideas into an existing niche, perhaps by incorporating a laundry area into your bathroom ideas.

Here, a reasonably sized bathroom doubles up as a laundry room, with the sink serving a dual function and clever storage solutions ensuring the space is maximized.

Installing a hanging rack is a useful option for shirts, that may save you at least a little time ironing.

Whether you’re creating a dual purpose space or have a separate laundry room, bear in mind that if you’re using bleach in laundry this, along with detergents, needs to be stored so young kids can’t access it.

8. Inject texture into small laundry room ideas – and a neutral color palette

If neutral tones and natural materials appeal, consider how texture might be used to divide your space and create interest.

Here, rattan is used to finish one of the floor-to-ceiling laundry room closet ideas, and the result is a space packed with plenty of character.

9. Choose the best storage to ensure your space stays neat and tidy

The goal of laundry room makeovers is to create spaces that are neat and organized,  so you’ll need to prioritize quality storage.

Louise Wicksteed, design director at Sims Hilditch provides the following advice: ‘We recommend bespoke storage to help maximize space, particularly in small laundry rooms. 

'You might like to recess shelving into the walls and stow wicker storage baskets inside, as a neat and aesthetically pleasing vessel in which to store bits and bobs.’

When planning the storage, think about the detergents you’ll need from time to time, such as those for washing a silk pillowcase or washing a woollen blanket, as well as everyday detergents and fabric conditioners to ensure you don’t run out of space.

10. Plan an L-shaped laundry room

If you are looking for narrow utility room ideas, opting for an L-shaped laundry room layout may be the best option to help you truly maximize every inch of space.

Here, gorgeous blue-green cabinetry is teamed with white paintwork to achieve a stylish finish. Choosing to maximize storage potential on one wall, while leaving the other bare, prevents the space from feeling overwhelmed. A traditional sash window at the end of the room floods the space with light.

11. Tuck your laundry room behind a partition

(Image credit: Sims Hilditch)

If you’re keen to work a laundry room into an open plan kitchen or living space, this smart set-up, complete with folding doors, is certainly an option worth considering. 

Complete with laundry room essentials including a sink, washing machine, and plenty of storage, it is easily accessible on laundry day but can be concealed quickly if you have spontaneous guests.

Louise Wicksteed, design director at Sims Hilditch, says: ‘Don’t forget that your laundry room is an extension of your home, so it should follow the same themes that occur throughout the rest of your kitchen ideas, including color scheme and materials used.’

12. Choose shiplap paneling to make your space appear larger 

(Image credit: Garden Trading)

Horizontal paneling is effective in making a space appear larger, longer and wider, which is why it is a popular option for small spaces – including utility and laundry rooms. 

Aside from this, shiplap paneling is a trendy solution that promises to add plenty of rustic appeal to any small laundry room ideas.

13. Invest in a ceiling airer to maximize space

(Image credit: Future / Alicia Taylor)

A pulley drying rack is a clever way to make space for clothes – including those that aren’t suitable for drying even on the delicate setting on a tumble dryer – but it’s ideal if you’re washing a mattress cover and the weather precludes its being dried in the yard, or for airing larger items such as bedlinen and towels.  

To maximize its practicality, hang it over a sink so that really wet items can be lined up to drip dry; if it is near a window that opens, too, all the better.

14. Install heated towel rails for a one-wall laundry room

(Image credit: Future / Carolyn Barber)

Small laundry room ideas have to be clever to really work, and this is one of our favorites: a series of wall-hung heated towel rails that can dry items without taking up any floor space at all.

Another way to create an efficient drying area is to line your walls with hanging racks and install underfloor heating instead of heated rails. 

15. Use a freestanding cabinet to house laundry room essentials

(Image credit: LochAnna Kitchens)

In a tiny laundry room, storage is everything. If your space is lacking ample storage, try designating a laundry cabinet in a spot in your home that's close to your laundry room. A freestanding wardrobe or large cabinet can house washing-day essentials neatly behind closed doors.

16. Add wall hooks to a tiny laundry room

(Image credit: Northland Build)

There's no space to waste in a small laundry room. That means utilizing your vertical square footage, too. One of the best ways to do this is by adding wall hooks. They aren't as deep as shelving, so won't crowd a tight space, and they're useful for holding everything from laundry bags, to air-dry items, to clothes hangers. 

17. Hide your washer and dryer in plain sight

If you don't have space for a dedicated laundry room, hide your washer and dryer behind custom cabinetry. 

When closed, the cabinet doors make this laundry area by Camden Grace Interiors look like simple built ins. When the doors are open, the spot turns into a full-on laundry station thanks to the countertop, which acts as a handy place for tasks such as spot cleaning when you can’t wash memory foam pillows, as well as sorting, and folding clothes.  

18. Add multi-purpose shelving

(Image credit: Rejuvenation)

Storage shelves and a hanging bar are must haves for an efficient laundry room. If you can't carve out a dedicated zone for each, try a shelf with a built-in hanging bar at the bottom, like this version from Rejuvenation .  

You can store your laundry soap, the dryer balls necessary for tumble drying a duvet or tumble drying a comforter, or scrub brushes on the shelf, and stash hangers on the rack so you can hang up clothes straight from the dryer. 

19. Add a functional laundry pedestal

(Image credit: Home Sort)

Laundry pedestals are handy for front-loading washer-dryers because they eliminate the need to bend over every time you flip the laundry or clean a washing machine. A laundry pedestal with built in drawers, on the other can, can save your back and create valuable storage space in your laundry room.

How do you maximize space in a small laundry room?

Well-organized storage is key to maximizing space in a small laundry room. As well as wall and base cabinets and pull-out drawers for stashing smaller items (batteries, bin bags, paper towels, etc), don't forget a tall cabinet for keeping an iron, ironing board, mop and bucket and vacuum cleaner. 

Often, a very big or deep sink such as a robust Belfast style is top of a utility wish list for washing whites and colors than need to be cleaned by hand, rinsing off muddy wellies and football boots, washing stuffed animals and cleaning bath toys, and even washing the dog if you are combining your laundry room with practical mudroom ideas. A faucet with a pull-out or extendible spray valve is perfect for general cleaning, as well as filling buckets and washing down bulky items. 

Make sure there is a decent amount of work surface around the sink and elsewhere in the kitchen for sorting through laundry and stacking baskets – or tuck them out of the way in a nearby niche.

Where do you put your laundry in a small house?

If you live in a small house, you may not have any laundry room at all. But, if you still need a spot to fit a washer and dryer, here are a few spots to consider:

Laundry design. Ideas for the interior of the home laundry. The heating system can be different

Do you have any idea what the design of the laundry room in the house should be like? Most likely not. This is because such premises are often not even provided for by the layout. Be among the first to get a stylish and convenient laundry!

Beach style laundry

This compact laundry room is complemented by a wide worktop, very handy for sorting and folding laundry. A pendant lamp and a window visually increase the space, making it more spacious.

Beach style in the patio

This mini-laundry, located right next to the side entrance of the house, is designed to wash swimwear and beach towels. Locating the washer and dryer near the outside door helps prevent sand from entering the home. The worktop and open shelving above the appliances provide additional storage space for linens and laundry items.

Traditional

A short hallway in this small house is the perfect place for a washer and dryer. An inexpensive plywood countertop can be used for sorting and storing things. The location of the laundry area near the terrace and backyard will allow you to dry your clothes with fresh air from the street.

This multifunctional space doubles as an entrance hall, living room, study and laundry room. A built-in sofa, table and wardrobe help keep things neat and tidy without cluttering up the space.

Ordinary cellar

The designer of this family basement has cleverly managed to fit the washer and dryer into a corner without installing additional partitions that could block the light source. The doors successfully mask the appliances, so that the harmony of the interior is not disturbed.

Laundry-entrance hall

Laundry room, combined with an entrance hall, will be an excellent choice for active families. Making use of vertical space by placing the dryer above the washing machine seems to us a very smart decision. It is also worth noting the presence of doors that hide the equipment.

Disguised

If the bathroom is too small, try placing the washer and dryer inside the built-in cabinets in the kitchen. The closet itself can be shallow, but reach the height of the ceiling - to organically fit into the design.

Set up a laundry section in your kitchen by placing the necessary appliances and fixtures behind doors that mimic a pantry. At the same time, the design of the facades must be maintained in the same style as the headset.

Eclectic style

Unusual barn doors that hide the laundry room behind create a unique look that blends in seamlessly with the rest of the rustic home. The open shelving above the cars creates a spacious storage space for all sorts of things.

In the office

The washer and dryer in this office is installed under the counter, behind pleated curtains. It is enough to move the fabric to the side to gain access to the devices.

Modern laundry

Once again, the washer and dryer are hidden behind furniture doors. It is necessary to close them, and the eyes are ordinary cabinets.

Vintage style

Cutting board protects the surface of the washing machine from scuffs and scratches, and also adds warmth and comfort to the interior.

Ordinary

This laundry room is not only beautiful, but also functional. The machines are installed on a podium with compartments for linen baskets, developed according to an individual project.

Unleash your imagination. Individual laundries are places where bold design experiments can be carried out. Brightly colored walls, quirky wallpaper, and playfully patterned tiles are just some of the decor options that might not fit anywhere else in your home.

Eclectic style utility area

A ladder suspended from the ceiling, oddly enough, becomes a smart device for drying things. You can find one in an antique shop or even in your own backyard shed.

The sink is a great addition to the laundry room. It facilitates cleaning indoors and generally increases its functionality.

Worktop

A wide worktop mounted above the washer and dryer can be used for a variety of purposes, up to decorative.

Clothes rail

This rod can be very useful in the laundry. Taking shirts and blouses out of the dryer and hanging them up right away is incredibly convenient!

Comfort and compactness

Tired of taking your ironing board out and putting it back in again? The built-in option will be an excellent solution for people who have to iron clothes quite often.

Small space solution

In small laundries with stacked machines, the door is a great place to store small items. Now in stores there is a huge selection of organizers suitable for these purposes.

Double load

If you have space and money, consider buying a second dryer. Believe me, you will appreciate the usefulness of this solution!

Laundry is a very important and, moreover, everyday activity. Now even a child can wash clothes in a modern washing machine, it is very simple, and the process itself does not take much time. But what about the equipment, where to place it, how to ergonomically arrange the space and not violate the stylistic properties of the interior?

Of course, there is a way out - to equip a separate room in the house, which will house the laundry. It is convenient and practical, and the question of where to put the washing machine or dryer will no longer be relevant. Of course, organizing a laundry room is a costly pleasure, but the end result is worth it.

The storage room is ideal for a laundry room. There you can put an ironing board and cleaning products: a mop, a broom, a dustpan. A built-in washing machine can be placed in a small pantry. You can hang cabinets with doors on the walls, on the shelves of which you can put bed linen and towels. If your pantry is very small and will only fit a washing machine and dryer, then shelves equipped directly on the pantry's swing doors will come in handy for storing household chemicals and improvised cleaning products.

Laundry in the apartment

It is very practical to use the space under the stairs. After all, a convenient small laundry room under the stairs is another original way to equip an empty space. Under the stairs will fit not only a washing machine, but also a laundry basket, and a cabinet for household chemicals, and possibly even a dryer.

Laundry under stairs

Also, a dressing room is also suitable for arranging a laundry room, provided that it is not located in the sleeping part of the house. In the dressing room there is enough space for a washing machine and clothes. To make such a laundry and dressing room not only practical, but also comfortable and stylish, it can be divided into functional areas using a decorative partition with a mirror or a curtain.

For those who do not have a separate laundry room, the washing machine can be placed in the kitchen or bathroom. This idea, although not new, is also very practical.

How to organize the space in the laundry room

Since most of the time you only need a washing machine for laundry, there is still a lot of space left in the separate laundry room that can be put to good use.

Wall cabinets and shelves help make room on the floor for a comfortable ottoman, sofa, rocking chair or sink, which is also needed in the laundry room. Convenient baskets can be placed under the sink, separately for clean and dirty laundry. It will not be superfluous in the laundry room and a rack for ironed things. The ironing board, so that it does not interfere, can be mounted on the wall and folded when not in use. An ideal option for a laundry room would be a mini-wardrobe with a built-in ironing board.

And of course, it would be nice to equip a place to relax in the laundry room, then the time between household chores will flow more pleasantly. Attach a TV to the wall, and put a tape recorder on the shelf, and while the laundry is being washed, you can enjoy pleasant music or watch your favorite TV show. You will need this technique not only when you sit comfortably in a chair in the laundry room, but also while ironing clothes.

Laundry room interior

Laundry interior design

The laundry room is not only a room for a washing machine and equipment. Therefore, in order to feel as comfortable as possible in it, it is necessary to consider what the interior design of the laundry room will be like.

Modern modular furniture will harmoniously fit into the interior of the laundry room. And to make the atmosphere more fun, decorate the furniture with a simple pattern using decor stencils.

If the laundry room does not have a window, it is necessary to take care of good lighting. An unusual chandelier, table lamp or wall lamp will make the atmosphere brighter and more comfortable. A false window in the laundry room will look very nice. It will add light and visually enlarge the space.

Fresh flowers in beautiful flowerpots, a bouquet of wild flowers on the bedside table or near the sink will add a touch of freshness to the interior of the laundry room and enliven it.

Wash and iron your clothes in comfort!

Home laundry consists of several components: a washing machine, a clothes dryer, baskets or containers, an ironing board, shelves or countertops for storing household chemicals or washed laundry.

Interior laundry niche

Laundry can be arranged in a separate room, if the living space allows. If there are restrictions in the free area, then the laundry room is combined with other rooms. As a rule, this is a dressing room, study, kitchen or bathroom. If desired, the laundry can be arranged in any room, even in the living room or children's room, it is enough to choose the right equipment and interior design. In this case, it is important to provide sound insulation.

Laundry closet organized storage

Even the balcony can be used by placing cars one above the other. If there is still free space, then you can install shelves or racks.

Laundry room interior with sink and window

Ergonomic laundry design means well-placed equipment and hidden from prying eyes. For this, cabinets, curtains, partitions are used.

Laundry cabinet in the interior of the bathroom

When designing a laundry room, interior design should be given as much attention as other rooms of the house or apartment, it is important to consider the color combination. So light colors visually expand the space, raise the ceilings.

Separate laundry room with built-in furniture

A mini-office or a small study combined with a bundle is a good idea when there is not enough free space. At the same time, you can functionally use the tabletop placed by us by machines, it is enough to complement the decor with hanging shelves or a cabinet.

Hidden laundry in closet

You can combine several zones at once, for example, a kitchen, a laundry room and an office. This is a great choice for modern people who want to manage to do several things at once with minimal time.

Don't miss interesting news in photos:

Modern apartments can't do without a pantry. As a rule, not only pickles and jams are stored in such a room, but also all temporarily unnecessary things (bicycle, skates, etc.). Unfortunately, in most cases, the pantry is cluttered and its interior is far from the design of the rest of the house in terms of harmony. If you bring the utility room in order, it will become much more aesthetic and functional.

Putting things in order

Before you start designing a pantry, laundry room or utility room, you need to conduct an audit in this wonderful corner and get rid of unnecessary rubbish. Of course, if the apartment was not bought in a new building. We bring to your attention a few useful recommendations that will help transform the utility room on a budget:

    General cleaning. It has already been mentioned before. Without cleaning, it will not be possible to rationally plan the space.

    Cosmetic repairs. Usually there are no window openings in the pantry, so the room especially needs antifungal and antibacterial treatment. The most suitable material for arranging the interior of the pantry is ceramic tiles, which cover both the walls and the floor.

    Provision of a ventilation system. To maintain a normal level of ventilation in the room, install a modern ventilation system in it.

    Lighting. A windowless room needs good lighting. An ideal option for a pantry is a luminescent module.

If there is no utility room, where to make one?

The design of any household premises is carried out depending on the location of the room and the functional load assigned to it.

Pantry adjoining the kitchen

If the room is located near the kitchen, it is advisable to store food in it. For convenient storage, we recommend equipping the room with hanging shelves, built-in baskets and modules with drawers. All containers are best placed along the walls, so it will be possible to provide free access to each of them.

Utility room next to bedroom

This arrangement makes it ideal for a walk-in closet. To determine the ideal design of the space, we recommend that you look on the Internet for photos of the interior of the pantry-dressing rooms. If the area allows, place a closet in the room. In miniature rooms, it is appropriate to use floor and hanging shelves, as well as various hangers for clothes, hats and accessories.

Pantry near the living room

The utility room adjacent to the living room is best to “turn” into a library or study. Even if the room is small, it will probably be possible to place a computer desk with a chair and a bookcase (if necessary) in it.

Pantry near the bathroom

In most cases, the owners, guided by the proximity of the sewer and water pipes, make a laundry room in the premises. You can wash, iron and dry clothes in it. The design of the laundry rooms implies the placement of appropriate furniture and equipment (washing machine, ironing board, laundry cabinet, dirty laundry basket, etc.). Since things are sometimes dried in the room, when designing the interior of the laundry room, special attention should be paid to ventilation. Otherwise, the room will be very damp and unhygienic.

Utility room near the hallway

The owners of apartments with a pantry located near the hallway are very lucky. After all, the hallway will be able to perfectly “unload” by placing shoes and outerwear in the utility room. If the pantry is also spacious, it can store not only some things from the hallway, but also household utensils.

Thus, by rationally approaching the arrangement of the utility room, you will definitely be able to turn it into a practical and functional room, the presence of which will greatly facilitate the life of all household members. Interesting options for the design of pantries can be found by browsing thematic photos on the Internet.

Public laundries are used mainly by large organizations or enterprises that need a large amount of clean linen, such as hotels, hotels or hospitals. Some people also use public laundries, however, in today's fast-paced times, when there are a thousand things to do at once, there is no need to spend your precious free time going to public laundries, as an excellent home laundromat can be equipped at home.

Team Stylingroom in today's article has prepared for you a selection of photos of stylish, ergonomic and multifunctional home laundries that will help you save money and make the most efficient use of the free space of the rooms in your house or apartment.

A successful combination of home laundry and office

Usually, a small room in a house or apartment is allocated for the arrangement of a laundry: a small room can be allocated for the laundry, or a washing machine can be placed in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in the dressing room. However, not many people know that a multifunctional and compact laundry can be placed in the most seemingly unusual rooms and areas of the house, such as a home office, children's playroom, living room. The owners of a house or apartment only need to remember that wherever the home laundry is located, it needs to be given no less attention in terms of interior design and style than other rooms in the house or apartment.

A successful combination of a home office and a small laundry room.

Combining a laundry room and a home office is a great idea for those owners of a house or apartment who want to do several things at once: both household chores (namely, laundry) and work itself. Also, a laundry room is a great idea for those who want to have their own mini-office, but do not have enough free space in their house or apartment. All you need in this case is a small desk and chair, as well as a bookcase if necessary, which can easily be placed compactly in a small laundry room.

Francesca Owings Interior Design has created a small laundry room right in the open plan office, which is also harmoniously connected to the living room of a private house. The home laundry room is separated from the rest of the house by white wooden doors that can be closed if desired, hiding the washing machines and laundry from the guests of the house.

Stylish laundry combined with living room and office.

Designers at Abbey Construction Company set up a mini-laundry room in a small home office, if desired, the owner of the office can easily hide the laundry area with a heavy curtain. The interior of the office is made in light, neutral tones and shades, which make it visually larger and more spacious.

Small home office with laundry area.

Properly selected lighting plays an important role in the organization of the laundry, as well as other areas of the house or apartment. The laundry room should have a sufficient amount of natural light, which can be obtained with the help of spacious windows to the floor, glass walls or doors, skylights.
