The laundry room shelving ideas you implement in your space will play a big part in the way the room functions, whether you're designing the space from scratch or trying to make an existing one more functional, 

The right shelf setup can offer easy access to the various stain removers, detergents, and fabric softeners required for a proper load of laundry, making wash day more efficient (and who doesn't want that?). Plus, laundry room shelving can also offer a chance to infuse your space with a little style. Think: glass jars filled with laundry crystals or a vase with fresh flowers. 

Here, we've rounded up some of the best laundry room shelving ideas so that you can add them to your laundry room ideas wishlist.

Laundry room shelving ideas

If you're planning a laundry room makeover, give shelving the consideration it's due. Laundry room shelving is a key component to the space. Better still, shelving can be both practical and pretty. Take a cue from the designs below. 

1. Choose laundry room floating shelves for a streamlined look

'Integrating function, laundry room organization and beautiful design was our mission in a space which is not generally known for aesthetics,' says Lisa Hynes of HW Interiors , who designed the room above for the 2021 Palm Beach Decorator Showhouse. 'So we've applied a mix of unexpected materials in practical ways.' 

That includes the floating, wood-toned open laundry room shelving. The sleek look adds a modern, elevated style to a hardworking space. 

2. Add laundry room cabinets and shelves

Both shelves and cabinets are ideal laundry room storage ideas for different reasons, so why not include both? Chicago's Kate Marker Interiors combined shelving and cabinetry in a client laundry room, above.  'Closed storage with bins or a canvas rolling cart for gathering laundry can keep things neat and tidy,' says Marker, while open laundry room shelving offers easy access to your most-used items. 

3. Add a laundry room hanging rack

If you have the space for it, one of our favorite laundry room upgrades is to add a hanging rack along with your shelving, like in this room by Whittney Parkinson Design . A rack makes it extra-convenient to hang up your clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer, preventing wrinkles, and can sit below laundry room shelving for super-efficient space saving. Though a clothing bar is technically not a shelf, you'll have to incorporate it at the same time you're planning cabinetry and other storage.  

4. Display stylish essentials

If there's one drawback to open laundry room shelving, it's that it can quickly look cluttered. If you have aesthetic goals for your laundry room shelving as well as functional ones, choose laundry supplies that look good on display.

Glass jars can be used to house soaps and powder detergents, and neutral-colored wool dryer balls look like decor when stashed in a pretty basket, like in the space above by Grand Tradition Homes and Kate Marker Interiors.

'A laundry room should have a way to store or display cleaning supplies in a convenient and eye-pleasing manner,' says Marker. 'Woven baskets to corral detergent pods and stain removers provide texture in open spaces.'

Our motto: if it makes doing the laundry more enjoyable, it's well worth the effort. 

5. Use freestanding laundry shelving

If you have counter space in your laundry room and don't want to go through the hassle of hanging shelves on the walls, try standing a small bookcase or shelving unit on top of your laundry room counter instead. This will create vertical storage space without the need to break out the drill and stud-finder.

To enhance the aesthetic and achieve an intentional look, paint the shelves to match the walls. 

6. Try a bar with hooks as a shelving idea

Who says you can't get creative in a functional space? If you're looking for an out-of-the-box laundry room shelving idea, why not try a hanging rail with hooks? Hanging rails, like the one above from Rejuvenation , typically come with sets of hooks and cups that can hold items like stain sticks, detergent pods, lint rollers, delicates bags, and clothes brushes. 

7. Edit what's stored on your shelves

If you're combining laundry room shelving with laundry room cabinet ideas and laundry room closet ideas, be intentional about what gets stored where.

'Clients usually have a strong opinion as to their preference for closed cabinets versus open shelves, and we design accordingly,' says interior designer Kathleen Walsh , who's behind this ultra-organized laundry room. 'A good hybrid is to think of keeping one set of your go-to detergents, solutions, and tools out in the open and within easy reach of the washer and dryer. Leave an extra shelf or two open for some décor and functional items. The rest, like the extra paper towels, the stored bottle of bleach, etc., can live behind closed doors. Ironing too is either out and ready or hidden away.'

8. Hang a laundry maid

If you're looking for small laundry room ideas, try incorporating the fifth wall, AKA the ceiling, into your laundry room shelving plans. A laundry maid, which is a drying rack that's suspended from the ceiling, offers a spot to dry anything that can't go in the tumble dryer, as well as a place to store hangers for easy access. 

9. Add a dual-purpose shelf

(Image credit: Kate Lester Interiors)

If you're short on space and want to maximize the efficiency of your laundry room, look for a shelf that pulls double duty.  

'Open laundry room shelving creates depth and dimension while also serving as storage, which is perfect for this laundry room nook. It was also a great way to add in hanging bar for clothing, making it extra multi-functional,' says Kate Lester, who designed the laundry room nook, above.

10. Free up space for a countertop

If you tend to store all of your detergents, fabric softeners and stain removers on top of your washer and dryer, then one of the best reasons to install laundry room shelving is to free up that space. It'll increase your organization and efficiency tenfold. 

Once you have your laundry essentials stashed away on a shelf, you can then add a laundry room countertop above your washer dryer, which makes a convenient space for folding laundry or storing laundry baskets, a la this laundry room by San Francisco's Eye for Pretty Design.  

11. Choose built-in laundry room shelving

If you're after longstanding quality and a high-end look, consider built-in shelves, like in the above laundry room by The Fox Group .  This extra large utility room provides space for desks underneath the shelves, but if you're working with a smaller room, build your cabinets on top of your washer/dryer, sink, or a set of drawers. 

12. Stash pet supplies

Laundry and utility rooms often double as the dog's room. If this is the case in your home, laundry room shelving is the perfect spot to stash pet essentials, like food and toys. But if you do it, take a cue from Elizabeth Gill Interiors and store them in simple glass jars for a clean look. 

'I styled the shelves to be both human and dog friendly,' says Gill, who designed the laundry room, above, for a show house. 'The dog treats and toys are on full display in these pretty glass canisters.'

How deep should shelves be in a laundry room? 

Above all else, laundry room shelving needs to be practical. If you're wondering how deep shelves in your laundry room should be, consider how you'll use them. If you simply be storing bottle of laundry detergent and boxes of fabric softener, a 10in-12in shelf will work just fine. However, if you'd like to use storage bins or stash laundry baskets, you'll need a shelf at least 18in deep.

Laundry design - practical ideas in the photo

Variant with more shelf space

Welcome back to the Room Interiors Portal. Today, with our visitors, we would like to talk about proper laundry planning in your home.

When designing a new home or discussing upcoming refurbishment of an existing home, most often the idea of ​​creating a laundry room comes to us belatedly and, as a result, rarely materializes into reality. However, a well-designed laundry space has so many benefits that, believe me, will make your life much easier.

Today, such an element is an absolute must for modern living.

Unusual shelves and colorful baskets

They can easily decorate your room. One of the biggest benefits that an exclusive laundry room has is that there is a lot of storage space. Various racks and shelves will help you to use the available space to the fullest.

Paneled cabinets and quartz stone countertops

There's no point in mounting a huge number of awkward or large shelves if they don't fit the particular style and size of your own laundry room. You can see one of the furnishing options if space is limited. In the case when your room is compact, it would be better to use vertical racks that will help you make the most of the free space.

Beautiful laundry room with plenty of space

While closed shelves help you hide clutter and keep the room tidy, open shelves give the room a feeling of airiness and lightness. If the available space is large enough, then you can simply add a stand-alone storage rack.

Blue Laundry Room with Lots of Shelf Space

Shelves and baskets are not only used to add functionality, they can also be a great addition to your interior. Shape and color are no less important parts of the design that can bring a little warmth and comfort to the planned room. The combination of white and blue colors works brilliantly. We must not forget that such an element as a laundry room will be a wonderful addition to your home with a bright and fresh atmosphere inside, which will make work more efficient.

Amazing shiny decoration

Clever shelving is an absolute must and you always need to plan your work area well so that the space is not cramped. Thoughtful distribution of storage spaces automatically makes the space more organized. It is worth paying special attention to the number of shelves so that you do not have to dig through piles of dirty laundry later.

Clever and adequate design of the laundry workspace

Beautifully stacked baskets, tilted drawers, pull-out and drop-down shelves all help to balance the elements of your space. By adding some floating shelving, you can even spruce up the room with family photos that can be neatly placed next to wicker baskets.

They will make the room more homely and cozy. You should not use monotone colors, because they will look very boring. Also, for greater convenience, you can add an ironing board to your laundry room, picking it up in the color of the interior.

Shelf configuration makes the space special

The ideal laundry room is one that caters to the specific needs of your family. But each of us owns different areas and financial possibilities. If you do not have a separate room, you can combine the laundry room with your kitchen, this will help make your space more comfortable and functional.

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 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 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-hallway

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

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 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 room in the space under the 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 pictures:

In modern apartments, a pantry is indispensable. 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 entrance hall

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.

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.

The laundry room also needs to be equipped with the necessary amount of artificial lighting for the evening or winter season.

Many mistakenly believe that the laundry room is an exclusively functional space at home, which should not differ in beauty, style or taste. However, when organizing a laundry, it must be remembered that design harmony in a house or apartment is achieved by decorating absolutely all rooms, even purely functional ones, such as a laundry room, pantry, attic, garage.
