Let’s face it, when we think of our laundry rooms today, we may have some space challenges that make it a place that we would like to avoid altogether. Although our laundry rooms are something we can never truly escape, we can look for ways to improve our experience while spending time there. One of the complaints about laundry rooms that we hear today the room is too cramped, small, and has no storage room for our linens, fabric softeners, detergents, and necessary utensils for us to function accordingly. With this type of complaint, I can see why laundry rooms are not on the list of favorite spaces to spend time. Advances in appliances are occurring to make our experience more pleasurable, but to help save space and create a more functional space for your laundry room, consider some of these space saving tips that may help you organize the room a little better.
Simple Laundry Room Space Saving Tips
Space Saving Tips – Upper Cabinets or Shelving
In small spaces, it can be difficult to find floor or wall space to support all of your storage needs. If you are finding it difficult to locate space in your laundry room, looking to build up instead across the room is a concept that works well to provide that extra storage you are looking for. Installing upper cabinets or shelving is an ideal way to create more storage space within a cramped space. Today, there are several options to choose from that are not only functional but aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Laundry Room Collapsible Components
Laundry rooms function as both an area to clean and dry your clothing but also as a space that you will fold, hang, and iron your clothing. If you are a little tight on space, another tip to consider would be to create or purchase collapsible components that can be stored easily under the cabinets such as a fold out ironing board or a table that can be expanded to fold your clothing on top of.

Slide Out Cabinets Helps Save Space
Slide out cabinets can provide easy access to items that you may be putting away as well as a way to store some items that are used frequently while keeping your workspace clean. There are many options of slide outs that assist in the daily functions for the laundry room such as slide-outs available for the laundry baskets, accordion style slide outs, or for medium to smaller sized containers. The options for slide outs to help with you space saving needs are available making it easier for you to mix and match to cater to your functional needs.
Having a small laundry room does not mean we have to endure a cramped space that we feel is a nightmare to enter or that it would cost thousands of dollars to create a space that you could love. The key to loving your laundry room is being organized and adding your own methods for organization to the space to allow you to move about freely and accomplish cleaning, drying, and folding your laundry in comfort. Adding in Upper Cabinets, collapsible components, or slide outs to your laundry room could be the solution to your space issue within your home.
