7 Clever Ways To Create Stylish Small Laundry Rooms

You do not need a large and spacious home to create one of these stylish small laundry rooms, all you need is a fresh coat of paint and some ideas to better organize your space. We have put together an inspiring collection of images, from closet style laundry rooms to laundry rooms in your bathroom and ones that have their own space.

These all have one thing in common, they are small and were once disorganized and in need of a makeover. Ways that you can update your space to also make it attractive. Who says your laundry room can’t be both stylish?

1. The washing machine and dryer in this laundry are Kenmore Elite models. This room is also used as a storage and supply closet. Where wall-mounted shelving was constructed out of old scaffolding planks the couple purchased from a contractor (try Craigslist). The steel cart is a flea market find from the Rose Bowl. The walls and cabinets are painted in Sydney Harbour Paint Company’s Plaster of Paris.

2. This small closet was converted into a laundry room. Using the already existing wood shelf unit, the space was given an update with a fresh coat of milk paint in Van Gogh Blue with a clear wax finish. Shelves are filled with seagrass baskets to conceal loose items, glass jars for detergent and clothes pins. A chalkboard sign graces the wall along with a Simple Human grocery bag dispenser. Even the old plate cover was updated to a satin nickel wallplate.

3. If you don’t have a door on your laundry room but would like to separate the space, consider a curtain rod and curtains. This adds a decorative element, which should flow with the decor scheme in your home and will conceal the space. The only thing they will not do is provide sound attenuation. A tension rod is the perfect selection as is an inexpensive curtain wire from Ikea.

4. For those residing in apartments or with limited space, a laundry nook is the best option. A compact or stackable washer/dryer is the perfect space-saving option. A sliding barn door or a small hallway closet can be converted. Wall shelves with baskets and bins and between-machine storage bins can help with storage and organization.

5. A small laundry room can work well with stacked washer/dryer for more functional space. The eye-catching cabinets were painted in Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue HC-143. Loving the farmhouse sink and open shelf with an integrated hanging bar for drying clothes. Perfection!

6. This laundry is complete symmetry and decorated in a beautiful coastal palette. Cabinet on either side of the space are complimented by a shelf in the center, decorated with basket. Love the farmhouse sink!

7. This entire laundry room is a DIY project, from the plank wall to the wood crates tucked underneath the washer/dryer to the farmhouse light and hanging ironing board rack.
