10 Favorite Laundry Rooms with Storage Ideas to Steal

A well-appointed laundry room turns a tedious chore into a marginally satisfying, even enjoyable, task. Here are 10 of our favorites—genius space-saving ideas included.

The Faux Martha's Laundry Room DIY — Above: Melissa Coleman, aka the Faux Martha, designed her organized Ikea laundry room around her Steele Canvas bins, which were her “anchor inspiration pieces,” she says.

Combination laundry and mudroom room by Homestyle magazine, New Zealand. Fisher-Paykel washer/dryer. — Above: Set in a tiled back entry, this room serves as mudroom, laundry space, and potting station. The white laminate counter works as a place to fold clothes and pot plants. Plywood cabinets and wall-mounted shelves provide storage for supplies.

Studio McGee Laundry Room Baskets — Above: Studio McGee took advantage of this laundry room’s height by installing a drying rod and floating shelf, plus additional cubbies and cabinets for storage.

Laundry room via Light Locatoins — Above: In a bright Bath laundry, wall-mounted organizers keep clothes brushes and cleaning essentials at the ready. For more, see Steal This Look: A Well-Equipped Laundry Room in Somerset. Photograph courtesy of Light Locations.

Above: The hidden laundry: In Christine’s London flat, white floor-to-ceiling cabinets conceal the washer and dryer. When the doors are opened, the space becomes a full-scale laundry room. See Rehab Diary: Finding Storage in Unexpected Places. Photograph by Kristin Perers.

Studio Four Bourne Road Residence Laundry Room — Above: In a high-end home where every detail is considered, what makes this laundry room truly stand out is the perfect, minimalist laundry line. But guess what? That laundry line is actually Ikea’s Dignitet Curtain Wire. See Design Sleuth: One of the Most Ingenious Ikea Hacks Ever. Photograph by Shannon McGrath, courtesy of Studio Four.
