It’s not how much laundry space you have that matters. It’s what you do with that space that counts.
If your laundry feels on the smaller side, don’t fret. We’ve put together some small laundry room ideas to help you create a laundry that feels spacious and organised.
1. Overhead cabinets

Install overhead cabinets above your washing machine to free up valuable benchspace and keep your laundry products organised and out of sight.
2. Sliding doors or curtains

If your laundry is open or visible from other parts of the house, consider using sliding doors or curtains to hide the area when you’re not washing clothes.
If there’s room, install an overhead hanging rod to air-dry clothes or hang up any business shirts you don’t want to get crumpled. This eliminates the need for a separate drying rack and keeps the space looking uncluttered.

6. Take advantage of vertical space
Install shelves above the washing machine and dryer and use up that vertical space. These shelves can be used to keep laundry supplies like, detergent, fabric softener, and other essentials organised and within easy reach.
