Pull Out Folding Table
The best tip for a laundry room with no counter space is a pull out folding table! This functional little table will encourage you to fold your laundry fresh out of the dryer! Lets be honest, folding is THE worst part about laundry – this pull out folding table will fix that! I fully recognize that not everyone has custom cabinetry in their laundry room. If that you – this wall mounted fold down table is a great option!

Thats right folks, ANOTHER pull out feature. Ironing boards are clunky, heavy, and awkward to store. Which is why I love this idea. This sleek pull out drawer makes ironing a breeze, plus it wont take up valuable closet space. This custom ironing board drawer is made by an Australian interior design company Provincial Kitchen Homes. Check them out for some more inspiring spaces!
Add A Shelf Above The Washer And Dryer
Lindsay from Frills and Drills renovated her laundry room and added the smartest thing ever! She built and installed a mini shelf behind her washer and dryer.

Laundry Basket Storage
I adore this this laundry room for multiple reasons (hello brick floor, I see you and I love you) but the best part has got to be the laundry basket storage! Having a dedicated laundry basket space is ideal for keeping a laundry room tidy and organizing laundry. You can easily sort through whites, colors, and delicates with laundry bins like these.

Add A Rolling Cart Between Laundry Machines
I love this idea from Driven By Decor. She had an awkward space between her washing machine and dryer which is less than ideal. So rather than leaving it empty – like most of us would do – she thought it would be the perfect spot for a rolling cart! A narrow rolling cart like this one is perfect for storing cleaning supplies in your laundry room. Great organization tip!

I love this idea from Dutch DIY blog Vtwonen. They’ve transformed a typical laundry room backsplash into a functional storage space with a peg style organizer. Its a great spot to house common use items like a dust pan, scrub bushes and more! One of the best tips for laundry room organization is to have your cleaning supplies accessible.
