4 Ways to Transform Your Laundry Room

According to Readers Digest, Americans tackle 660 million loads of laundry each week. If your laundry room is looking cluttered, or you don't feel inspired to do laundry, here are four ways you can transform your laundry room to make it a place where you don't mind taking on your mountain of laundry.

1. Shelving

There are a lot of things that you need to keep track of when it comes to your laundry room organization. Beyond detergent, you've got bleach, dryer sheets, and fabric softener, among other things. 

Putting these items up on shelves makes them easier to find and access compared to having them on top of the dryer or placed in a corner. A laundry room organization system can help you store your laundry products in a way that's simple, functional, and pleasing to the eye.

2. Cabinets

While shelves are a nice touch, they can quickly accumulate dust if you don’t regularly dust or clean them. That problem disappears if you have full cabinets with doors.

What's more, if open shelving isn't your style, or if your washer and dryer are in a shared space in the house, cabinets allow you to keep your laundry items out of sight until you need them.

3. Bins and Baskets

If you are looking for an innovative way to organize your laundry room, try to designate bins for certain types of clothes and keep them neatly tucked away with a laundry room organization system.

It's even better if you color code the bins; you could put white clothes in a white bin, dark clothes in a black bin, and colors in a bin of any other color of your choosing. That way, you can easily separate the wash and spend a lot less time sorting them out of a laundry bag.

4. Pull-Down Ironing Board

A laundry room organization system can also allow you to store your ironing board in an easy-to-reach place where it won't be in the way.

A pull-down ironing board can save you from having to yank it out of a crowded closet. You can pull the clothes out of the washer and iron them right there.

Having a tidy area to do the laundry can be quite a stress reliever, even if doing the laundry isn't your favorite task to do.
