There’s nothing that makes you less motivated to do laundry than doing it in a small, disorganized space. Trust us, we get it! Doing laundry is one of the worst chores, but it can be more pleasant with a few small changes.

We love finding ways to make less enjoyable household activities more fun, and for us that starts with simple reconfiguration, organization and design. There’s something to say about a functional laundry room, especially when you don’t have a lot of space to work with.

Having lived in multiple apartments —with small laundry closets— over the last few years we totally understand the importance of a well-designed small space. These laundry room hacks will make your laundry room more functional and enjoyable to be in!

Small Laundry Room Hacks: 8 Easy Ways to Make Your Laundry Room More Functional

1. Stackable Washer and Dryer

If you have a small laundry room, stacking your washer and dryer is a great way to create space. This will free up a lot of room to add some more storage to your laundry room.

2. Behind the Door Storage

Thoughtful organization is a must in a small laundry room. Adding an organizational unit behind the door gives you space to hang your ironing board, iron and other cleaning products.

3. Hanging Laundry Hampers

Utilizing your walls for storage can clear your floor space and create a convenient way to store dirty laundry. Add several of these hanging laundry hampers to your walls to keep your clothes organized during the week. 

4. Organize Laundry Products in Baskets

One of our favorite way to store laundry and cleaning products that you want to hide or tuck away is with woven baskets. They look beautiful on open shelves or in cabinets.

5. Label Organization Bins

One of the easiest ways to make your laundry room more functional is labeling organizational bins for cleaning and laundry products. You will be shocked at how much this will transform your space and actually motivate you to do laundry. It may sound silly, but trust us, you’ll start labeling every bin in your home!

6. Add a Pull Down Drying Rack

How cool are pull down drying racks? If we had known about this years ago, it would have saved us so much space in our laundry room. All you have to do is install is on your wall, pull it down when you need to dry clothes and then push it back up when you’re done.

7. Install Open Shelves

Not only does the look of open shelves look gorgeous in a laundry room, but it also provides an opportunity for gorgeous storage solutions as well. We love adding glass jars with laundry products, linens, woven storage baskets and even cute decor.

8. Use Clear Canisters for Go-to Products

Clear canisters are our favorite storage solution for laundry detergent, dryer sheets, laundry balls and clothes pins. They have a way of making your average products look so luxe and as a  functional, decorative accent. 

You’ll wonder how you went so long without organizing canisters.
