A well-designed and intentional small laundry room can offer up more than you think. With the right furnishings, a laundry nook can be as functional as a room with more square footage. To maximize the potential of your small laundry, look for clever ways to incorporate storage space, multi-functional fixtures, and use of even the smallest nooks and crannies.
Floor to ceiling cabinetry is a great option for creating tons of storage space that can keep messes hidden behind closed doors. If your space is too small for cabinetry, open shelves and skinny cabinets built between your washer and dryer are alternatives. Lay a countertop over your laundry appliances to create an area for folding your clothes right above the dryer, or mount a drying rod between a set of wall cabinets to hang delicate items.
You’ll fall in love with these laundry room designs that prove small spaces can maximize functionality and style in any home.
