Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I add shelving in my laundry room? 

Depending on how much space you have, you could feasibly add open shelves above your washer and/or dryer or in the corner. Alternately, you could opt for a portable shelving unit if you have room.

What materials are best for laundry room shelves?

Wire, wood, and metal are all excellent materials for shelving.

What are some other organizational ideas for maximizing space in my laundry room?

To maximize every inch of your laundry room space, try hanging a closet rod for hanging clothes that can’t go in the dryer. We like to use the back of the door for hanging shelving and a fold-away ironing board as our folding table. Finally, neat stacking bins are a great way to store detergent and other supplies.
