Laundry rooms are often overlooked when it comes to design, and some people opt out for prefabricated cabinets instead of custom designed. But even a small space can do a lot more than hold a washer and dryer. With the right custom storage, it can help you stay organized, care for your clothes properly, and make laundry day a bit less of a chore.
If you’ve read our post on 5 Modern Kitchen Storage Solutions, you know that the storage opportunities can be transformative. At ARKA Cabinets, we specialize in custom laundry room cabinets and storage solutions that make the most of any space. Let’s see what can be done in your laundry room.
Functionality and Storage Ideas That Are Worth It
Let’s start with the basics. Most people store cleaning supplies in their laundry room, and those bottles and boxes always seem to take up too much space. A pull-out cabinet designed specifically for detergents and cleaning products makes them easy to find. No more reaching behind bulky items or knocking over bottles every time you need something.
Next, think about the area under your machines. A rollout tray or a drawer under the washer or dryer can save your back — it slides out smoothly, so you can unload clothes without bending or straining. It’s one of those features you don’t realize you need until you have it.
Then come the hampers. Having built-in hampers for sorting whites, colors, and delicates keeps laundry organized from the start. No piles on the floor, no guessing which load comes next. Just load your washer and go.
For items that shouldn’t go in the dryer, a built-in drying rack is a smart addition. It can be designed to fold away when not in use, keeping your space tidy. The same goes for an ironing board — it can slide or fold into a narrow cabinet and doesn’t become an eyesore in your pristine laundry room. Yes, your laundry room can be pristine.
Should My Laundry Room Be Huge to Fit It All?
No, your laundry room doesn’t have to be large to fit all of this in. With good planning and custom cabinetry, every inch of space can be put to work — from vertical storage for brooms and mops to shallow drawers for small items like dryer sheets or sewing kits.
Even the smallest laundry room can become efficient and well-organized with the right plan. Our team understands how to use space strategically — adjusting cabinet sizes, choosing the right hardware and features — to make the most of what you have. The result is a laundry room that works hard while you enjoy how beautiful it is.
