Whether your laundry room is large or small, it\u2019s likely one of the most cluttered areas of your home. There\u2019s so much to organize, from dirty laundry and detergent to dryer sheets and cleaning supplies, it can seem overwhelming. Here are some hacks to clean up the clutter from clever storage solutions to tips for small laundry room spaces.<\/p>\n

Storage Hacks<\/h2>\n

One of the reasons many people struggle to keep their laundry rooms tidy is that they haven\u2019t designated clear \u201chomes\u201d for all the stuff that gets stored there. You may think you just don\u2019t have enough space. But, even the smallest laundry rooms often have unused corners, open walls, or untapped floor space that can be used for storage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some hacks that can help you reclaim unused space for better organization.<\/p>\n

Add Shelving<\/h3>\n

\"laundryShelves provide a convenient spot for laundry detergent, dryer sheets, cleaning supplies, and much more. Plus, open shelving<\/a> makes it easy to see what you have and grab it quickly. Even small spaces likely have nooks and crannies for shelving, such as the space above the washer or dryer or in hidden corners of the room.<\/p>\n

Add a Pegboard\"pegboard<\/h3>\n

If you find that much of the clutter in your laundry area is from oddly-shaped cleaning tools or supplies, a pegboard<\/a> can be a great addition. The flexible design provides space for the tools you need, while making them easy to find, use, and return to their spot.<\/p>\n

Add a Bookshelf or Dresser<\/h3>\n

\"organized<\/p>\n

Repurpose an old bookshelf<\/a> or dresser to create a cheap and convenient storage area in the laundry room. Dressers or bookshelves with flat tops can also provide a convenient folding area or a place to store clothes baskets. Corral smaller items into glass containers, baskets, or bins to keep the shelving or drawers organized and tidy.<\/p>\n

Wall-Mounted Drying Rack<\/h3>\n

Most front-loading washers and dryers come with optional risers<\/a> that include a built-in drawer. This not only saves your back when it comes time to load and unload the washer and dryer, it also provides additional storage space for dryer sheets, detergent, and other useful items.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re handy, you can also create your own drawers out of strong plywood or MDF material as shown in this video:<\/p>\n
