21+ Laundry Room Organization Ideas To Make Wash Day Better
Wash day has never been easier.
1. Use laundry baskets to your advantage
If you have a large family and find yourself doing laundry often, you may want to consider adding a few laundry baskets to your space.
This is a great way to help keep your laundry organized as you wait to wash, and it can also help to keep your dirty clothes separated, which is a win in my book!
2. Add a sink to your laundry room if you can
If you have the space and budget, adding a sink to your laundry room can be an incredibly useful addition.
You can use it for pre-treating stains, hand-washing delicates, and more.
I also love how this laundry room from The DIY Mommy has a built-in drying rack above the sink. It’s the perfect spot to hang things to dry or to air out clothes.
3. Create a folding station
If you’re lucky enough to have a large laundry room, consider incorporating a folding station.
You can build a counter over your washer and dryer or use a foldable table.
Add shelves above the counter to store laundry detergents and other cleaning products.
This beautiful laundry room designed by Studio McGee features a large counter and open shelving.
We love how they used matching baskets to store laundry supplies and how the black and white color scheme makes the space feel cohesive and organized.
4. Add shelving to your laundry room walls
If your laundry room is small, you’ll want to take advantage of all the wall space you can.
Add a few shelves to the walls to store your laundry detergent, fabric softener, and other laundry products.
You can also use the shelves to store cleaning supplies or to display your favorite laundry room decor.
In this laundry room from us, the shelves are used to store laundry products and cleaning supplies and to display a few decorative items.
5. Use glass jars to store laundry supplies
Laundry room organization doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes the most simple solutions are the best, like using glass jars to store laundry supplies.
Not only do glass jars look pretty, but they also make it easy to see how much detergent you have left.
Plus, you can easily pour the detergent right into the lid!

6. Use a pegboard to keep things off the ground
Pegboards are one of the most versatile organization tools out there.
They can be used in pretty much any room, but they are especially useful in the laundry room.
Hang one on the wall to keep all your cleaning supplies, tools, and other laundry essentials off the ground and out of the way.
You can also use baskets, hooks, and other pegboard accessories to create a custom storage solution that works for your space.
This pegboard is a great example of how you can use one to create a mini cleaning station in your laundry room.
With hooks for cleaning tools, baskets for supplies, and even a shelf for a plant, this pegboard is both functional and stylish.
7. Use a laundry sorter to keep things organized
If you have the space, a laundry sorter is a great way to keep things organized and separate clothes by color or fabric.
This sleek sorter can be used to separate clothes and then easily transported to the washing machine.
8. Add a pull-out drying rack to your laundry room
Not all clothes can be thrown in the dryer, and some people prefer to air-dry all of their laundry.
If that’s you, consider adding a pull-out drying rack to your laundry room.
This one is designed to be installed in between two cabinets and can be pulled out when you need it and pushed back in when you don’t.
I love that it has plenty of space to hang clothes and that it’s out of the way when not in use.
9. Hang an ironing board on the wall
If you use an ironing board, you know how much space it can take up.
This brilliant solution from A Crafted Passion keeps the ironing board off the floor and out of the way by hanging it on the wall.
Plus, it looks so much better than a traditional ironing board.
10. Make your laundry room beautiful
Who says the laundry room has to be the last space you think about when it comes to decor? If you’re lucky enough to have a dedicated laundry room, why not make it beautiful? That’s exactly what the team at Studio McGee did with this space.
From the stunning tile floor to the shiplap walls, every detail in this room is perfect.
If you don’t have a dedicated room, you can still make your laundry area beautiful.
A fresh coat of paint, some new shelving, and a few baskets can go a long way in making a space feel special.
