Laundry Floor Plan Tips

Doing laundry can feel like a tedious chore without the right setup. But having an organized, welcoming laundry room makes tackling that mountain of dirty clothes almost enjoyable. Follow these tips to create a laundry space you’ll actually want to spend time in.

Start with the Layout – When designing your laundry room, think “work triangle.” Position the washer, dryer and folding space in a triangle so you can easily move between tasks. Stack appliances if short on space. Ensure water, electrical and venting connections are readily accessible.

Maximize Every Inch of Storage – Laundry rooms attract clutter. Counter that with smart storage solutions. Install cabinets for detergents and shelves for folding laundry bags. Add a rod for clothes fresh from the dryer to prevent wrinkles. Use colorful bins to separate lights and darks.

Focus on Ergonomics – Bending to move wet laundry or reaching high shelves can strain your body over time. Raise appliances on pedestals, build countertops at a comfortable height for folding, and ensure controls are within easy reach.

Zone for Workflow – Prevent chaos by creating zones. Designate areas for sorting dirty clothes, folding clean ones, ironing and hanging delicate items. Separate dirty laundry from clean to maintain hygiene.

Mind the Details – Good lighting and ventilation make laundry rooms more pleasant. Install an exhaust fan to prevent mold. Add bright, even lighting to easily spot stains. If possible, incorporate natural light through windows. Pay close attention to the flooring you use and make sure it is both durable and fits your budget.

Spruce it Up – Just because it’s a laundry room doesn’t mean it has to look utilitarian. Incorporate decorative touches like artwork, plants and a colorful rug to boost the ambiance. Soundproofing also helps reduce noise.

Implement Smart Solutions – Stay organized with labels for shelves and storage bins. Include a foldable drying rack for delicate items. Build in ample countertop folding space.

Prioritize Safety – Keep detergents and cleaning supplies out of children’s reach. Remember to regularly clean the lint trap to prevent fires. Install a floor drain to contain leaks.

Creating a well-designed laundry room takes effort upfront, but makes doing the wash almost relaxing. Follow these tips and soon you’ll look forward to laundry day!
