Decorate with Bold Wallpaper

Kritsada Panichgul

A laundry room is a great place to experiment with a bold wallpaper pattern, since it's typically a small space which requires less of a financial investment. Additionally, it's a private area that can easily be closed off and therefore doesn't necessarily have to match the rest of the interior.

If your bedroom closet is large enough to house a washer and dryer, create functional built-in storage around the appliances.

Incorporate a chalkboard wall into your laundry room for a spot where you can jot down reminders, shopping lists, or fun laundry-themed quotes!

Mudroom Laundry Room

Edmund Barr

This compact mudroom had hardly any room for a laundry—until a space-saving solution put everything in its place. Stacking the washer and dryer cut space needed for laundry in half, giving storage and work space to the kitchen. Built-in closets and laundry room cabinets give narrow storage and a smal counter space.

Laundry Room Barn Doors

Annie Schlechter

Barn doors are one of our favorite laundry room door ideas for small spaces. Sliding orange barn doors provide a seamless transition from one room to another in this laundry room design idea.

Sorting Bins

Better Homes and Gardens

Look for laundry room accessories like baskets, bins, boxes, shelves, and cubbies for the ultimate organization. Rolling wire laundry bins make sorting simple and effective. They roll easily under a long countertop, and wire shelves above hold supplies or delicate items. This setup also takes up no extra floor space—a real plus in a small area laundry room layout.

Laundry Room in Closet

David Tsay

This laundry room door idea tucks the area away in a closet for easy access, but also easy hiding. Just shutting the etched glass doors keeps the appliance out of sight when the space is used as a living room. A folding clothes rack can be collapsed and stored when not in use, but provides tons of hanging space when needed.

Beautiful Built-Ins

Brie Williams

Built-in cabinetry boosts storage capabilities and looks beautiful in this stylish laundry room. A sliding glass door with modern hardware hides the sleek laundry room set up when not in use.

Laundry Room Utility Zone

Tria Giovan

Not only is this laundry room easy to navigate, but its layout makes for easy living. The sink can be put to work as a garden center, a dog-washing stand, or a place to soak clothes. A table surface for folding laundry and cabinetry above the appliances make this an ideal laundry room.

Colorful Laundry Room

John Bessler

Using a bold color palette is an effective way to boost the aesthetic of an otherwise all-white room.

Small Laundry Room Decor

Better Homes and Gardens

Laundry room layouts are often small, so utilize every inch of available space. Because you can't afford to waste a sliver of space in a small laundry room, take storage as high as you can with custom shelving. The angled ceiling in this laundry room puts storage to the test, but well-spaced shelves allow plenty of room for stacking towels and detergent without making the area feel overcrowded.
