1. Laundry room storage: Keep everything within reach with laundry room shelving
For frequently used items, shelves are the easiest way to keep the things you need within reach. Open shelves are ideal for storing your laundry detergent, dryer sheets, fragrance beads, and more. When installed above your washer and dryer, you can see what you need without searching, thus saving time and keeping everything front and centre.
2. Mudroom storage: Personalize space with cubbies and hooks
Keep your busy family organized with personalized mudroom storage. Shelving designed with cubbies and hooks allows each family member to have their own designated storage space for knapsacks, sports equipment, coats, boots, etc.
Individualized storage is the hub of hectic family life, ideal for busy mornings, while providing an easy way to keep tabs on the kids’ schoolwork in the evening. When everyone has their own storage space, nothing gets lost, no matter how chaotic life gets.
You always have a central spot to keep things organized. You can customize the cubbies to suit the “level of hectic” your family experiences, whether you need larger, “locker room” sized cubbies, or life is a little calmer, and a hook with a few basket-sized cubbies will do the trick.
3. Laundry room storage: Use lower cabinets with a counter to improve storage and function
When space allows, installing lower cabinets complete with countertops provides the ideal place to sort and fold laundry. The storage below can be used for just about anything, while improving the function of your laundry room.
Lower cabinets are also ideal for installing pull-out laundry organizers or hamper drawers. They even have a handy tilt-out function to easily drop in dirty items..
If space doesn’t allow for lower cabinets, then take advantage of front-loading washers and dryers with counters installed across the top to create a convenient work surface.
4. Mudroom storage: Think seasonally
Addressing changing storage needs to suit the seasons helps keep your mudroom organized. For example, in the winter, excess outerwear and heavier footwear like boots require more space than the lighter needs of the spring and summer.
Using cubbies and baskets to keep things organized allows you to switch things up. For instance, you can make the most of spare space in the summer months using baskets or cubbies for things such as pool toys, gardening tools, or even sunscreen and insect repellent. In the winter, the same baskets are ideal for hats, scarves, and mittens. Thinking seasonally allows you to maximize space for year-round organization.
5. Laundry room storage: Install a hanging rod above the washer and dryer
Make life easier with a hanging rod installed above your washer and dryer. You can avoid wrinkles by taking your clothes out of the dryer and having a place to hang them as you sort and fold. By hanging items up right away, you can avoid having to iron items such as dress shirts. This is also a great place to hang hand-washed items to dry.
6. Mudroom storage: Think tall
Make the most of every available square centimetre by thinking tall. Stretching upper cabinets right up to the ceiling provides ample storage for less frequently used items, such as specialty cleaning products, bulk purchases like microfiber cloths and wet mop replacements, winter accessories, and smaller sports equipment.
