Cabinets With Sliding Ladder

A sliding ladder runs the length of one wall of this combination mud room and laundry room from Emily Henderson Design that maximizes the ceiling height with a row of storage cabinets that hug the ceiling.

Washer Dryer Cabinet

Pin

This laundry room from Michelle Berwick Design has stacked black-and-white appliances fitted into royal blue painted washer dryer cabinetry with a double cabinet on top.

A set of adjacent drawers painted in the same color creates a built-in look, and a drying rod hung high in front of the window is suspended between the washer dryer cabinet and the wall to optimize the space.

Gold-toned hardware creates a sense of cohesion that adds warmth to the cool color scheme.

Wall-to-Wall Cabinetry

Pin

This spacious family home laundry room from Kate Marker Interiors has wall-to-wall cabinetry that is fitted to the space like a glove and features a mix of closed Shaker cabinets of varying sizes as well as glass-front cabinets, a drying rod, and open shelving for display space.

Laundry Linen Closet

Pin

Britt Design Studio installed lower cabinetry in this pale gray and white laundry room, then extended the functionality of the space by creating a linen closet armoire in the hallway just outside to store neat stacks of all-white towels and sheets.

Two-Tone Laundry Cabinets

Pin

Blogger Ursula Carmona of Home Made By Carmona installed floor-to-ceiling two-tone cabinets on two walls of this long and narrow laundry room to maximize storage, leaving the top of the side wall cabinets open.

Gold-toned metal cabinet pulls and a decorative ceiling light add a sense of cohesion.

Wrap-Around Cabinets

Pin

If you’ve got unlimited space, consider skipping the upper cabinetry and installing wrap-around lower cabinetry and drawers to fulfill all of your laundry room storage needs, like this light and airy space from Kate Marker Interiors.

Matching Drying Rack

Pin

Mindy Gayer Design Co. painted the lower cabinets in this combination laundry room craft room in lilac, using the same paint on the walls and built-in drying rack over the sink.

Green Laundry Cabinets

Blessed Little Bungalow added a chunky natural wood countertop above her washer dryer, wedging in a small cabinet to maximize space, then painting it green to match the upper cabinets on the wall above that anchor a drying rod and include an open top shelf that houses lightweight woven storage baskets.

Open and Closed Cabinets

Pin

Marie Flanigan Interiors mixed closed and open storage on the lower half of this farmhouse-style laundry room, leaving the upper half of the shiplap walls mostly bare, keeping the space feeling airy and uncluttered while leaving room for a natural wood floating shelf and a shiny brass drying rod above the countertop.

Pale Mint Green Cabinets

Pin

If you’re a sucker for restrained colors—like these light and airy bluish-green cabinets—a pop of pattern on the walls or flooring can act as a fitting counterpoint.

In this joyful laundry room, Studio Ru Interior Design’s Carley Gardener opted for a floral backdrop that creates a calming and refreshing ambience.

“The soothing minty hue beautifully complements the vibrant midscale floral wallpaper, while also harmonizing with the earthy weathered encaustic floor tile,” Gardener explains.

“Together, these elements enhance the serene vibe of the space, making it a tranquil retreat.” In other words, we wouldn’t judge you if you routinely retreated to this space for some me-time away from the kids.

Double-Stacked Cabinets

PinRebecca Frick

Another angle of this laundry room—because we simply can’t get enough!—reveals a floor-to-ceiling cabinet moment that has us drooling over the storage potential.

“The light and airy bluish-green cabinetry infuses this laundry room with a calming and refreshing ambience,” explains Studio Ru Interior Design’s Carley Gardener, who topped the cabinets off with chic, stark black hardware.

How many loads of laundry can one do in one day without seeming unhinged?

Bright White Cabinets

PinLiv Tiernan

Our very own former style director, Parker Bowie Larson, recently remodeled the laundry room of her 1950s-era brick ranch house, which is a masterclass in pattern play.

Geometric statement wallpaper is given pride of place against these stark white cabinets. “I’ve always felt that the laundry room should feel as decorated as the rest of the house, meaning that even utilitarian sundries need to somehow look good when not in use,” Parker writes.

“I now have a laundry room I actually want to be in—and even escape to when home life gets hectic.”

DIY Built-In Cabinetry

PinJenna Sue

We love a DIY hack, and Jenna Sue Design’s Jenna Sue is all about bringing design to the people.

In her latest laundry room reveal, we could be fooled by the efforts required to create this custom laundry room cabinetry. “It has a high-end designer look, but it’s actually a relatively simple and low-cost DIY project,” she explains.

She used 3/4-inch medium density fiberboard and cut the planks with a table saw. “Because everything was built from scratch, we were able to customize it to fit our needs within the small footprint,” Sue adds.

Elegant Baby Blue Cabinets

PinDasha Armstrong

Looking for a touch of elegance in your day-to-day routine? Throwing a basket of your fragrant gym clothes into the washer will seem far less undignified against this ethereal palette of soft blue cabinetry.

“This home delicately blends traditional silhouettes with soft natural textures reminiscent of the surrounding seascape,” says Jenny Martin Design’s Jenny Martin.

“With unlacquered brass faucets, candelabra fixtures, and handcrafted tile, we introduced finishes with an aged vintage quality, hand selected to gracefully age in place.”

Green Cabinetry

Stuck inside doing laundry? Douse your cabinets in nature’s neutral and you won’t feel so confined.

In this Tennessee home, Lori Paranjape gave this room a douse of whimsical deep sage green against gold hardware.

Bonus: Can you spot the friendly feline in its cabinetry hidey-hole?

Classically Trimmed Cabinetry

PinWilliam Jess Laird

Designer Jenna Chused has an eye for the country home look, apparent in the laundry room of this ultracolorful country home, which nearly took a step back in time with no-show laundry units.

Observe: The walls and cupboards are painted in Slipper Satin with a trim of Black Blue, by Farrow & Ball.

It’s a chic complement to the moody black door and patterned laundry skirt.

Rich Blue Cabinets

PinEric Zepeda

Cabinetry can take many forms, an ethos Keith Quiggins of Rococo & Taupe enjoys playing around with.

In this moody washroom, a custom marble sink (carved from a single 500-pound block in Italy) is stacked atop two cabinet doors for a look that would make laundry-washing seem like a joyful art.

The rich blue cabinetry, finished in a Sherwin-Williams paint color, complements of HJP Painting, creates a sultry backdrop.

“Laundry rooms are often overlooked and typically feature minimal storage,” Quiggins says, adding that these cabinets he chose “offer thoughtful storage for bulk items and cleaning supplies.”

Closet-Turned-Laundry Room Cabinet Ideas

Pin

Convert a closet into a hardworking laundry nook by tucking a washer and dryer into the recess and topping them with a counter and wall-mounted cabinets.

Removing the closet doors maximizes the space.

There’s even a clothes hanging bar and baskets for folded laundry that slide neatly under the counter.

Creative Laundry Room Cabinet Design

Pin

This laundry room has a mudroom-style bench designed into the built-in cabinets for a functional family drop zone.

There’s even a faucet in the island to keep a dog bowl full of water, so your pup can keep you company while doing chores.

We love the green subway tile backsplash that coordinates with the patterns and colors in the tile floor.

A box that can hold a prefab vanity along with a washer and dryer can turn a corner of a room into a small but functional laundry area.

Matching the cabinet paint color to the appliances makes the space look deliberate and designed.

Laundry Nook Cabinets

Pin

Tuck a laundry room into a nook by a back door so it can double as a mudroom.

A small stainless-steel sink gives you a spot to wash off the kids’ muddy shoes when they come in the door.

A wall of tall cabinets over the washer and dryer turns wall space into storage space, making the room work at maximum efficiency.

Small Laundry Room Cabinet Ideas

Pin

If you have built-in cabinets in your laundry room, create a folding table for laundry on the countertop.

There’s room for storage in its drawers and on its shelves, and room to fold clothes on its counter, all without taking up a lot of floor space.

Two-Toned Laundry Room Cabinets

Pin

This laundry room doubles as a mudroom thanks to a built-in window seat with bins and drawers for stashing shoes.

Two-tone cabinets add depth and dimension, with the blue upper cabinets and wood-toned lower cabinets making the space feel cozy.

White Laundry Room Cabinets

Pin

White cabinets and a white subway tile backsplash make for a cheery laundry room that looks clean and tidy.

It’s designed to be an ideal space for turning dirty, rumpled clothes to clean, folded ones.

A black faucet, warm wood countertop, wicker storage bins, and a metal sink with patina add an urban farmhouse vibe to the space.

Two-Tone Laundry Room Cabinets

Pin

Cabinets don’t need to be all the same color. Apply the two-tone cabinetry look with complementary hues, such as the ones in this neutral palette, to help lighten and brighten a small laundry area.

This gray and white laundry cabinet idea combines closed and glassed-in doors and an open shelf for soaps and other laundry tools.

Laundry Room Cabinet Upgrades

This laundry room has been brightened up with turquoise cabinets topped with crown molding, modern black cabinet hardware, a tile backsplash, and a contemporary graphic tile floor.

Baskets provide organized storage for supplies as well as adding texture to the room.

Laundry Room Cabinet Solution

Pin

A narrow floor-to-ceiling cabinet tucks storage space into a tight corner in a laundry room, leaving room for a fold-out ironing board in the cabinet on the adjacent wall.

Bins inside the cabinet organize the items stored there and their color ties to the bins and lower cabinet color in the rest of the room.

Under-Sink Laundry Room Cabinets

Pin

This laundry room has space for more than just washing clothes—it’s also a home headquarters.

Open shelving and built-in shelves make vertical space for cleaning supplies and flower vases, a wall of cabinets around the sink provide drawers and cabinets for stashing more stuff, and there’s even a desk tucked into the space where you pay bills, wrap gifts, and run the house, command center-style.

Personalized Laundry Room Cabinet Idea

Pin

This laundry room is designed to accommodate double washers and dryers, so it can handle the needs of a large family.

The custom cabinets maximize the storage space while accommodating the sloped ceiling, and a wallpapered ceiling give the workspace a ton of personality.

Laundry Room Wall Cabinets

Pin

Walls of floor-to-ceiling cabinets transform this laundry room into a well-designed and highly functional workspace.

A countertop over the washer and dryer creates a spot for folding clothes as they come out of the dryer, while a large utility sink can handle handwashing clothes or rinsing off garden shoes.

One wall of cabinets includes a bench and storage for shoes, offering the functionality of a mudroom.

Laundry Room Cabinet Details

Pin

Wainscoting, crown molding, and paneled doors add traditional charm to these laundry room cabinets.

If you don’t have the space or the budget for a built-in countertop, consider a panel placed on top of your washer-dryer for folding or open storage.

This flat surface is easy to clean and prevents spills from dripping between the appliances.

Clever Laundry Room Cabinet Ideas

Pin

A nook equipped with a pair of clothes rods provides space for hanging shirts when they come out of the dryer.

A floor-to-ceiling cabinet with shelves and a door provide storage space next to the clothes, making the most of a single wall in a laundry room.

Painting the beadboard walls the same color of blue as the cabinets makes the space appear to be a unit and ties it visually to the rest of the room.

Combined Laundry Room Storage

Pin

One wall of this kitchen space has been turned into a laundry room by stacking a washer and dryer and dedicating the upper cabinets next to the appliances to a clothes rod and open shelves.

The kitchen island is large enough to fold laundry while feeding lunch to the kids.

Personalized Laundry Room Cabinet Idea

Pin

Personalize your laundry room with bold colors and patterns and you’ll find washing and folding duties become less tedious.

In this example, brilliant blue cabinets pair with palm-frond wallpaper to fashion a fun, tropics-inspired room.

An open cubbyhole in the lower cabinetry provides a cozy hangout for the family pet.

Tiny Laundry Room Storage Solution

Pin

Tucking a utility sink beneath the small window makes this laundry room more functional.

(There’s even room to stash a bin for dirty laundry beneath the sink!) Cabinets hung on the wall over the washer and dryer provide storage for detergent and other supplies, while a counter built atop the units serves as a folding table.

Gray Laundry Room Cabinet Idea

Pin

Striking the right balance between storage and work space is key when designing laundry room cabinets.

Consider the activities in the laundry room (such as treating stains and sorting or folding clothes), as well as the items housed there, including detergents, cleaning products, ironing supplies, rods for hanging clothes, and more.

Note whether you prefer the clean look of closed doors or the convenience of open storage. Including a mix of storage types and a handy work surface can help you maximize your laundry area.

DIY Laundry Room Cabinet Update

Pin

Closed laundry room cabinets create a tidy, polished look, but open storage areas can be helpful for organizing often-used items.

To convert regular cabinetry to open shelving, simply remove the doors and fill in any holes left behind by the removed hardware.

Here, open laundry room cabinets are lined with baskets labeled with each family member’s name, which can be used to sort and store laundry that’s ready to be folded or put away.

Laundry Room Wall Cabinets

Pin

Most laundry room cabinet designs leave some space between the bottom of the cabinet and the countertop.

This laundry room makes use of that generally unused area with two sets of storage cabinets stacked above the washer and dryer.

Although this sacrifices some of your countertop workspace, boosting easy-access storage is a clever trade-off.

Laundry Room Cabinets for Small Spaces

Pin

Not having a dedicated space for a full-fledged laundry room doesn’t mean you should sacrifice storage.

Try this laundry room cabinet idea: white cabinets with Shaker-style panels blend the walk-through space with the rest of the home but provide critical storage for laundry detergent and other items.

A simple tension rod mounted across the open space in the middle creates a handy hanging area.

Drapes hide washer and dryer units tucked under this wall cabinet that holds linens and flower vases.

Closing the drapes makes the space look like a living area instead of a cluttered work area.
