Setting up a laundry room in a small space: where to start?
Before running to Ikea or Casto, take the time to observe. What is the configuration? Bathroom corner, end of corridor, closet, cellar, under the stairs? Every space has its constraints… and its strengths.
Start by measuring precisely: ceiling height, width between walls, useful depth. This allows you to visualize design possibilities and avoid unnecessary purchases. Next, list your actual needs: Do you need a sink? a dryer? space for baskets? This first phase is essential for creating a laundry room adapted to your daily lifenot a Pinterest photo.
Optimize laundry storage: every centimeter counts
When space is limited, storage becomes your best friend. Shallow wall shelves, ceiling-high furniture or even clothes rails allow you to make use of even the smallest corners. Focus on modular solutions: rack shelves, extractable cabinets, hooks.
Also think about verticality: attach stackable laundry baskets, install a wall-mounted drying rack or a retractable drying rack. In a well-optimized laundry room you need to be able to grab everything in one movement, without taking up the floor. A free wall? Transform it into a smart storage space with iron accessories or clip-on modules.
Choose compact and multifunctional furniture
In a small laundry room every piece of furniture cannot be missing different functions. Choose a washer + dryer column, with integrated shelves or drawer baskets. Some models also include a folding ironing board. Smart, right?
For narrow corners, hanging furniture or furniture with casters are perfect: they clear the floor and fit easily. And don’t underestimate the power of a thin shelf between two walls! Castorama, Mobalpa, Leroy Merlin or Made in Meubles offer specific modules for small areas, often shallow but ultra functional.
Create a functional and pleasant laundry room without major work
There is no need to knock down partitions to create an efficient laundry area. A simple curtain rod may be enough to create a designated area in a bathroom or garage. Another idea: use a glass or claustra-type partition wall to separate without enclosing.
Think about often unused spaces: under the stairs, in a wardrobe compartment or at the end of a corridor. Good lighting, light paint, a few wall hooks and you’re done. Even in a small space it is possible to create a laundry room invisible but extremely effective.
Laundry Room Decor: Small Area, Big Style!
Just because it’s a laundry doesn’t mean it has to be sad! Play with the colorTHE graphic motifsa nice one adhesive tile oh wooden splashback. As for accessories, opt for natural basketsof glass jarsOR decorative labels.
Use color to visually enlarge the space: bright white, light blue, sage green… And if you like the industrial style, opt for black metal shelves or brass handles. In short, have fun! A small laundry room, yes, but with character ✔️
