6 Space-Saving Secrets to Save Your Laundry Room (and Your Sanity)

Let’s face it—when it comes to laundry rooms, most of us are lucky to have a single shelf to hold detergent and a tiny counter for folding shirts. But because doing laundry is a weekly task that will never, ever end, finding more space to deal with it is a big bonus.

Here are six smart ways to squeeze extra storage into your little laundry room. Who knows, maybe these tricks will make laundry a little more enjoyable. Maybe.

1. Stack the units

Need extra inches to treat stains or store supplies? Investing in a stackable washer-dryer set could be your quickest fix.

“For laundry rooms maxed out on space, I recommend vertical units,” explains David Meek, a real estate broker with Keller Williams Arizona Realty in Scottsdale, AZ. These appliances are just under $900, which is about what you’d pay for the side-by-side versions, he adds.

For a clever hack, consider jacking up your washer-dryer set onto pedestals, says Jamie Gold, a kitchen and bath designer in San Diego and the author of “New Bathroom Idea Book.”

“Not only do they raise appliances to an ergonomic level, but you can stash a small hamper, soaps, and other supplies in them without taking up floor space,” she says.

2. Get creative with your shelving

Adding more shelves is an obvious storage fix, but there are ways to make these built-ins work harder.

Julie Coraccio, the organizing pro behind ReawakenYourBrilliance, likes the look and utility of wire or mesh. With this material, she gains storage and a place to dry delicates—just by poking hangers into the holes.

You should also think vertical: Overhead shelving doesn’t usually extend to the ceiling, so this is an excellent spot for more storage. Adding in custom details can also maximize your space, experts say.

“Pull-out hampers, U-shelves for sink bases, and roll-out trays make drawers and shelves much more efficient,” Gold explains.

Jenny Popis, a Lowe’s spokesperson, likes to tuck a skinny, three-level shelving unit in the narrow space next to stackable units.

A large shower caddy also tucks neatly between machines to hold supplies, says Anna Shiwlall, an interior designer at 27 Diamonds in Orange County, CA. Or try floating shelves for a clean, airy look.

And it doesn’t have to look ugly—you can spruce up your storage space by spray-painting baskets, suggests Darla DeMorrow, the expert at HeartWork Organizing. “A single color is trendy and makes your random collection look so much better,” she says.

Don’t have space for shelves and baskets? Back-of-the-door organizers are also handy, recommends Marty Basher of Modular Closets. “You could install wire, molded plastic, or a hanging shoe holder for supplies.”

3. Lose the doors

And don’t worry about exposing your appliances for the world to see. “The modern washing machine is a thing of beauty,” she adds.

Not OK with no way to hide your machines? Try pocket doors—they’re a space-saving miracle.

4. Tuck in an ironing board

Slide it in, slide it out.

The iron is likely the biggest item to store in your too-small laundry room.

“We all struggle with the archaic ironing board, so think about installing an Iron-A-Way to save precious space,” says Beth Patrick, a designer at Closet Factory.

Sandra Sokol, owner of Closets by Design in Nashville, TN, agrees. Wall-mounted boards or pull-out drawer styles are ideal for a tiny laundry room, she notes. “It’ll look like a closed drawer, but when it’s open, it expands and rotates as needed.”

5. For drying space, look up

An old ladder is the perfect drying rack.

“Ceiling space is often underutilized in a small room like this,” Basher says. “Mount a drying rack from hooks for instant storage, air drying, and hanging newly ironed garments.”

For a clever hack, you can repurpose an old ladder from the garage, which allows you to do away with a conventional drying rack.

Sokol also likes filling overhead space with racks and rods. “A pull-down rod allows you to reach up to access hanging clothes and then gently send it back,” she says.

DeMorrow recommends an adjustable shower rod for hanging items. Or go old school with a retractable clothesline, says Carole Marcotte of the interior design firm Form & Function in Raleigh, NC.

“It’s a nice option because it takes up less space and can be hidden away when not in use,” Marcotte points out.

6. Choose clear storage

Not sure where to put your laundry pods? A wall-mounted fishbowl ($25, amazon.com) saves shelf space and looks pretty cool.

You can also recycle glass jars to hold detergent and clothespins.

“Clear jars are practical and decorative in a laundry room,” Shiwlall says. Try placing them on a space-saving Lazy Susan ($48, lowes.com) for a hint of style and a smart use of space.

Surgeon in Hot Water for Doing Liposuction in a Barn

Stock image. (Getty/francisblack)Stock image. (Getty/francisblack) (Newser) – It had the fancy-sounding name of the Body Laser Sculpting Medical Spa, but when Dr. Bradley Bastow's patients showed up for liposuction surgery, they saw the reality: It was actually a pole barn. On Tuesday, state health officials in Michigan suspended Bastow's osteopathic license after concluding that he was operating…

48. Surfer Rosa / Come On Pilgrim (The Pixies)

Best Song:       Caribou

Very few artists are as sonically inventive and diverse as the Pixies. Most astonishing is they developed out of the heartland of America isolated from the larger music scenes. Their manic energy swings from restrained to demonic and makes for endless hours of listening. This compilation album features both their debut EP and initial mini-album and has some of their best tracks. Their most famous track ‘Where is My Mind?’ can be heard on the closing credits to the film Fight Club. Other than the at-turns-beautiful-at-turns-scary performance on ‘Caribou’ there is the pure deranged fury of ‘Broken Face’ and ‘Vamos’ which degenerates into random screams. ‘Nimrod’s Son’, about a motorcyclist born of incest, has one of the catchiest rockabilly rhythm sections of all time. Frank Black has a definite talent for melody and juxtaposition. The frequent screaming of Black and droll chants of Kim Deal contrast so beautifully against the pounding rhythms of David Lovering and unique licks of surf-rocker Joey Santiago.
