Get Organized With Storage Solutions For Your Laundry Room

Dirty laundry, by default, isn’t terribly attractive, and most people don’t tend to think of their laundry rooms as beautiful places. Even from a strictly functional perspective, many laundry rooms tend to come up short. Between piles of dirty items to stacks of clean clothes to detergents, dryer sheets, and other laundry-day staples, these spaces are particularly prone to chaos. Fortunately, even the most disorderly laundry areas are often just suffering from a lack of storage — a condition which can be easily remedied by calling one of the leading providers of storage solutions in Saskatoon.

From making the most of tight spaces to creating storage solutions that make sense for your family, experienced carpenters can help transform any laundry room into an attractive and functional space. Read on for some ideas to inspire your laundry-area makeover.

Add Smart Shelving

Shelving is one of the most versatile types of storage and can be created to go anywhere in the laundry room. Because shelves allow you to utilize wall space for storage rather than the floor, they’re ideal for small laundry rooms in which floor space is often at a premium.

When choosing the best type of shelving, consider your available space, what you’ll be storing on the shelves, who will have access to the shelves, and how often you’ll need to access the stored items. From minimalist, space-saving floating shelves to custom-designed built-in shelving units, professional handymen can help design a perfect fit.

Install Cabinets for a Clean Look

Though they require a bit more space than some types of shelving, cabinets provide all the benefits of shelves, with a few extras. Laundry rooms tend to become a catch-all space for all sorts of household items, from cleaning supplies to extra blankets and beyond. When all those items are neatly organized into cabinets, you just see a clean row of closed cabinet doors. Cabinets not only help eliminate visual clutter but can also be locked to protect pets or young children from accessing dangerous objects.

Focus on Function

When designing a practical, organized laundry room, remember to keep functionality at the top of your priority list. A beautiful space simply won’t stay that way for long if it doesn’t work for you and your family’s ordinary routine. Start by considering how you most often use the space.

For example, if you’ll be folding and hanging clean laundry in the room, make sure you have an adequate flat surface for folding, as well as a bar or rack for hanging items. If sorting dirty laundry is a typical task, consider installing separate hampers for colours, white items, and delicates. If most of your clothes must hang to dry, a drying rack is a necessity. A carpentry expert can help you assess your needs to design your best storage solution.

Take Advantage of Vertical Space

When floor space is limited, moving things from the floor to the walls is critical to creating a functional space. Beyond shelving systems, you might be surprised at just how many things you can mount on your walls in a useful and attractive way.

For example, installing a wall-mounted ironing cabinet is a smart way to store a pull-down ironing board, iron, and other tools, keeping them out of the way when not in use. Likewise, a pull-out or pull-down drying rack offers convenient, on-demand utility without taking up floor space. Skilled carpenters can create customized solutions to help you use every inch of your available area.
