5 Must-Have Laundry Room Features

Designing a laundry room can be an excellent way to contain the many tasks and occasional mess that accompanies laundry day. Your laundry room isn’t just for containing your washer and dryer. In fact, you can include many amenities and features that make your laundry process as easy and even enjoyable as possible. Adding storage, utility sinks, a folding station, drying racks, and space for your ironing board can make your laundry room efficient. The experts at About Kitchens & More can help you design your ideal laundry room, complete with these five must-have laundry room features. 

Storage

Every laundry room should have plenty of storage space. The type of storage you use can depend on the size of your room. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to build hidden storage that works well in small spaces. 

Make sure you have enough storage for your laundry essentials like detergent, fabric softener, dryer sheets, bleach, and stain removers. You may also store extra linens in this room. Consider implementing wall shelves, cubbies, drawers, and cabinets for storage solutions.

Utility Sink

If you can fit a utility sink in your room, you should! One of the essential laundry room features, a utility sink, is convenient for cleaning out intensive stains or hand-washing delicate items. You can also use this sink for things like cleaning paint brushes or tools or bathing a small pet rather than using kitchen or bathroom sinks for those tasks. 

A Place to Hang Your Clothes

Adding rods for hanging clothes can also be hugely beneficial. If you need to air dry some clothes, this provides you with a perfect space for doing so. Hanging your clothes can also be helpful if you need to steam clothing and need a place for them to hang securely. 

Folding Station 

Your list of laundry room features isn’t complete without a sizable folding station. This means lots of countertop space! Ideally, you will want enough space for you to set down your laundry basket and fold several piles of laundry. Make sure the countertop is smooth and level to provide the best folding surface. 

Excellent Lighting

As with all rooms in your home, lighting can make all the difference in your laundry room. You will want excellent lighting in your laundry room to spot any stains or defects in your clothing. Having proper lighting will help you pre-treat items correctly and ensure that you don’t look over any spare socks in your washing machine. 

With these laundry room features installed, you can feel confident that you have everything you need to clean your clothing thoroughly.
