This is a problem for most studio-type homes or bachelor pads, "space." How can one maximize a space in their home? This idea by HGTV is a genius, while most of the people are irking where to have another spot for laundry, the answer is the "closet."
Certainly, a closet can be the best place to put our laundry duties done in no time. It could be one-stop, where in you could do your laundry, dry your clothes and also keep it in your storage. Sweet? How will you transform your closet to a laundry room? Here are five ways shared by HGTV.
1. Install Smart Storage
Installing a smart storage in your closet will keep everything organized and maximize the space area. Consider customizing it so that you'll know how much will be left for your appliance, for other laundry supplies, etc.
Consider this tip: "Adjustable, built-in storage shelves are a must have for a tiny laundry room. This keeps detergents and other supplies within reach but stored in a clean and organized way."
2. Invest in Updated Appliances
Investing on new appliances for your laundry may hurt your budget but this may help you in many ways. There are products out there that offer energy-efficiency and also beat out the stress accumulated in doing your chores.
3. Take Advantage of Wall Space
You can consider putting up hooks or a pegboard on your wall space, this will not only help you utilize every inch of space in your closet, this will also help you locate your stuff easily.
Consider this tip: "Space is often at a premium in laundry rooms, so it's important to put every inch to good use. Take advantage of vertical wall space by installing simple yet stylish hooks. These are perfect for hanging a variety of items, including a "lost sock" basket."
4. DIY a Drying Rack
A drying rack is essential for the laundry area. Install one so that you can easily hang and dry your clothes after you finished washing. An "old wooden ladder" would be perfect for this.
5. Add a Trendy Touch
Invest on something fun, try designing your closet door with small details like a gold knob or painting it with a trendy print or wallpaper. This will make you enjoy your time in the laundry/closet even if you are just washing your clothes.
