5 Easy DIY Projects for your Laundry Room

If you’re like most people, you feel like you spend too much time in the laundry room. But, all that time sorting, loading and folding clothes doesn’t have to be as much of a chore when your laundry room looks and works great.

These projects can help you make the most of your laundry room. If your plans include installing new appliances or changing your piping, contact a plumber on Long Island.

Ladder Turned Clothes Hanger

Use a portion of an old ladder as a clothes hanger for your ceiling where it won’t take up valuable floor space. Refinish the ladder and then use small, short chains to hang it from your ceiling.

Washing Machine Counter Space

If you dream of more counter space in your laundry room, make it a reality by installing a counter or finished board on top of your front loading washer and dryer. Be sure to leave room so your machines will work well and you can easily slide them out for maintenance.

Pedestal with Bonus Storage

Get some more storage by building a pedestal frame for your washer and dryer so you can easily store laundry baskets or bins underneath your machines. Be sure the frames are sturdy and don’t inhibit the way your washer and dryer work.

Cleaning Supply Central

Organize all those bottles, cleaners, rags and brushes once and for all! Add some bins to a cabinet to get everything organized and install a curtain rod that you can hang bottles from. Another way you can do this is hang a shoe organizer on the back of the door so you have plenty of pockets for cleaning supplies. 

Lost Sock Collection

Keep track of socks that are missing their match with a decorative sign. Paint a board to match your laundry room and then add some clothespins to it. Hang it within reach where you can hang socks that are missing their mate so you can pair them up as you find them.
