We are working on dividing a room behind our kitchen into a pantry and laundry room. We are building a wall that will separate the two spaces. The laundry room side of the room is small and narrow. I’ve been compiling ways to use the space in the most efficient way by maximizing storage in a small space.
7 genius ways to incorporate storage into a small room
Pretty Storage Containers
Instead of storing laundry pods in the original packaging, put them in a vintage crock or clear jar. There are so many different and unique ways to store items that will make your laundry room beautiful and functional.
This small laundry room is BIG on style and storage. I love the dark cabinets that sit above the washer and dryer. A folding station is created with a smile shelf above and smaller items can be stored in the baskets. There are also floating shelves on the wall that can hold laundry items. Another element I love is the farmhouse sink and the classic basketweave design in the floor tile.

Rolling Shelf Storage
Rolling shelves are great storage for a small laundry room. There are shelves that are very narrow and roll out that can be used next to the washer and dryer for easy access. Another idea I love is using a bar cart in a small laundry room and storing detergents and other laundry supplies in clear containers on the cart.

Manhattan Nest put a small shelf on wheels with a cabinet front that blended in with their laundry room shelves. You can buy something similar in white but I love how customized theirs is!
