Though one would usually spend hours doing the laundry, the laundry room is one of the smallest places at home. It is important to make use of whatever space is left since the laundry room serves as an area for washing the stains, pressing the clothes, and stacking them. The room should be functional despite its minimal size.
Most laundry rooms are blank spaces with a couple of shelves, a washing machine, and a dryer. Small as it may seem, it can actually be converted into a multi-functional area with the proper set up.
Listed below are a few tips on how to make the most of the small space allotted for the laundry:
Shelves
Shelves are practical in saving space as it is mounted on a wall, leaving the floor area clear, making the room look more spacious. You can store your detergent, bleach, and fabric conditioner on shelves that are mounted on top of the washing machine. Though shelving may be a practical space saving tip, it is important to place them on the right location. Make sure that it is easy for you to reach the supplies to avoid mess and spill.
Hang
Same as the concept of shelving, installing hooks on the wall can save you a huge amount of the floor area. Instead of investing on a hanger rack, you can install hooks at the back of the door or the cupboard in the laundry room.
Fold
Invest on a wall mounted foldable ironing board. It saves a lot of space most especially in putting it away. You won't have to worry on where to place it after ironing the clothes as you can just easily fold it back after use. It keeps the iron board clean and dust free as it is less exposed to elements.
