We don’t all have the unlimited square footage necessary to create a whole room dedicated to laundry within our homes. You're probably familiar with the dreamy ones we're talking about, complete with cheerful wallpaper, gorgeous double sink, and a handy linen cart to push clothes from the laundry room to their respective closet.

But the good news is you can still make wherever you wash your clothes useful and cute! Whether you're just sprucing up your laundry area or planning a total redo, you can borrow these ideas for your own home.

A place to hang things

Simple Shaker-style pegs provide spots for items like brushes and dustpans; keeping everything visible and within reach makes sense when it comes to cleaning.

Stain removal station

Spots have met their match! Corral everything you need to treat stains in one bin or tray. Pour cleaners and solvents into clear bottles and make sure you label them clearly, and keep a stain-removal guide nearby.

Stylish Storage for the essentials

Open shelving keeps everything accessible but also in view—so why not decant boxes of laundry detergent and other cleaning supplies into good-looking containers? This way, you can also buy products in bulk and keep a more manageable amount on hand.
