SPACE-SAVING SMALL LAUNDRY ROOM IDEAS WITH BIG STYLE
In the hustle and bustle of today’s modern living, every square foot of space in our homes is a valuable commodity. A dedicated laundry area no matter big or small in space is essential yet often overlooked in the grand scheme of home design. A well-designed laundry room not only enhances organisation and efficiency, it can also contribute to the overall functionality and value of a home.
We’ve put together some expert advice and ideas to help you maximise space in your laundry room and turning them into a stylish and highly practical space:
Utilising Vertical Storage Solutions
Maximise your storage space by investing in slim and stackable appliances. Installing shelving units or full-height cabinets that reach the ceiling not only provides more storage space, but also draws the eye upward to create an illusion of a larger space. You may consider opting for an open shelving unit for a modern and airy look or a closed cabinet to keep clutter out of sight.
Installing Wall-Mounted Shelves or Drying Rack
If you are short of floor space, consider installing wall-mounted shelves above the appliances or countertop. This not only provides additional storage but also keeps laundry supplies within easy reach without cluttering the floor. A wall-mounted foldable drying rack or retractable clotheslines can be easily tucked away when not in use, freeing up space for other activities.
Incorporating Multi-Functional Furniture
Choose furniture for your laundry room that can be used for more than one purpose. For example, incorporating a floor cabinet with a countertop next to your washer & dryer not only serves to store your laundry essentials, but can be used as a folding station.
Using Light Colours and Adequate Lighting
Choose light or neutral colours for walls, cabinets and countertop to create a bright and inviting feel. You may also incorporate light wood tones and textures for a warm and calming utility space. Adequate lighting, whether natural or artificial, also contributes to the perception of a larger space.
