Laundry Room Organization Made Easy

There's no doubt about it - most of us are looking for laundry room organization tips that can help put our laundry rooms in better shape, right? Well, I know I do! Just thinking about all those disorganized laundry supplies and stray clothing items (especially socks, gloves, etc.) make my head spin! Are you having the same problems as I do? If you are,here are some great ideas on how you can organize your laundry room and prevent clutter from taking over the space.

The laundry room is one of the most neglected areas in most homes. In fact, a lot of homeowners are keeping their laundry rooms strictly off limits, especially with all the clutter piling up in that space. I bet you wouldn't want your friends to see what a mess your laundry room has become, right?

Admit it. Messing up the laundry room is really quite easy. It's kind of ironic since it is the one place where we are supposed to clean up our messes. And yet, it is usually where our mess begins.

So, don't you think that it is time to do a little laundry room makeover? If you really think you need to start organizing your home starting with that mess called the laundry room, you absolutely need all the help you can get!

• Have plenty of storage options. Keep your things organized and prevent chaos from ruining your space by providing a lot of storage options. You can mix and match hutches, wall mounted shelves and cabinets to create a laundry system that works for you.

• Install a laundry bar. Cotton button-down shirts have a tendency to shrink so you should remove them from the dryer while slightly damp, then air-dried. Instead of installing a drying rack which can only hold a few shirts at a time, consider installing a bath-towel holder mounted on the underside of a laundry-room shelf. You can also use it to hang pressed shirts as you iron them.
• Use every bit of space available. If you don't have enough space for conventional storage shelves or racks, you should use every space available to keep your space organized. Consider buying an inexpensive over-the-door rack from your local hardware store and tuck it neatly on the door of your laundry room. You can also paint the back of the door with chalkboard paint so you can use it to leave messages and washing instructions.

• Consider using a laundry sorter with built-in ironing board. The laundry sorter and ironing cart combo is absolutely perfect for smaller spaces. You can use it to hold all of your laundry supplies and have a mobile ironing surface as well.
• Personalize your space. Don't be afraid to jazz up your space! Decorate it according to your taste. You can hang a family picture, vintage wall posters, and anything else you can think of.
• Use colors to make it feel bigger. One of the most effective yet inexpensive ways to organize and freshen your laundry room is to add some color so consider painting the walls or use a colorful rug.

Laundry room cabinets and shelving keep things in order so if you're intent on having a complete laundry room makeover, you should really consider investing on some good quality laundry room wall cabinets such as the ones featured here.

Your laundry room doesn't have to look drab. To make your stay in your laundry room more enjoyable, why don't you create a more stylish yet comfortable space? Don't worry, it doesn't need to be expensive! Even an inexpensive wall art can make all the difference. You can even make one if you are artistically inclined!

Organizing your laundry room and making it functional is not an impossible task. All you need is some time and a little creativity to make it work. So, are you ready to take the challenge? Good luck!
