If you have been searching for ideas for small laundry room organization, I’ve got you covered! I get it! Laundry rooms are already hard to keep organized, but throw in a small laundry room, and it’s extra hard.

And a laundry room is a space you want to be able to be productive in and not be a space that feels overwhelming and daunting.

Here you will definitely find some great ideas to help you create the small laundry room organization makeover of your dreams! 

This post is all about the best ideas for small laundry room organization.

The Best Ideas For Small Laundry Room Organization:

1. Add Storage between washer and dryer

If you have that empty space between your washer and dryer, this is a great way to take advantage of that space and create extra storage. Insert a caddy between the two machines and boom, you’ve got yourself some extra storage. You can use this space to store laundry detergent, or back stock for your laundry supplies, dryer sheets, etc.

2. Decant Laundry Detergent

Some must-have laundry room organization containers are these glass canisters that you can pour your detergent, bleach, etc. into. Detergent usually comes in bulky, mismatched, not-so-cute packaging, so putting everything into cute containers like the ones shown here will drastically transform your space.

And with these clear glass containers, you can easily see when you will need to replace detergent, etc. 

Finish off the look with these beautiful labels you can find on Etsy.  

3. Install Small Clothing Racks that can be Folded Away

When it comes to small laundry room organization, you really need to get creative! That means that you need to look at the entire room and try to find all the ways that you can add storage without taking up too much space. One easy way you can do that is by installing clothes hanging racks like this one.

This one is small but very useful! Because you can install it behind a door, or anywhere on your wall and it does not take much wall space. When you are done, just push it against the wall and it’s out of your way. 

4. Try a magnetic lint bin

Toss the trash bin and try a magnetic lint bin to collect all the lint. A trash bin, or even a bag, will take up the space you need to save for something else. So using a magnetic lint bin is genius for any small laundry room organization project. 

Remember, you want to create storage space wherever possible, so if you can use the washer or dryer to hold stuff, then definitely take advantage of that. Also, these types of lint bins are narrow, so don’t take too much space either.

5. Use the Wall Space Behind The Door for storage

Don’t forget the wall space behind the door! That is another perfect spot to create storage. A functional way you can do that is by installing pegboards with a variety of hooks, containers, etc.

This will create so much storage space for organizing many laundry room supplies or even your broom and mops! And they are right behind the door, so they won’t take up a lot of space, but this keeps them organized and easily accessible for when you need them. 

6. Add Shelving Over The Washer & Dryer

Do you have a lot of empty wall space over your washer and dryer? A great way to transform those empty walls into storage without having to install cabinets is by installing shelves instead. You can add nice bins and baskets to store all the loose items, detergent, laundry supplies, and whatever else you usually store in your laundry room.

Also, adding labels in a space like this is definitely a great idea to ensure it stays as organized as possible. And since some bins would be pretty high up, adding labels helps with remembering what you have stored in them without having to bring them down.

7. Put Your Detergent On A Turntable or basket

The top of your washer and dryer is another space you can use as storage. A great way to use this space as storage but make it pretty, organized, and functional is by using a large round basket tray or turntable to hold all your laundry supplies, such as detergent, bleach, etc. This is not only functional but looks so organized and tidy. And is much more appealing to the eye. 

This one is definitely one of my favorite small laundry organization ideas on here!

8. hang laundry hampers on the wall

If you have a small laundry room, then you probably don’t have a lot of floor space to spare. So what do you do with your laundry hampers? How about you hang them on the wall? This is a genius small laundry organization idea for sure! Add some hooks, and some cute laundry bags, and call it a day! This is simple enough to install, but wow, does it make such an impact! It looks so good, and it’s functional. That’s a win, win for me!

9. install door organizers

If you have a door in your laundry, which I think most laundry rooms do have, you have to try this idea for a small laundry room organization. Install a door organizer either on the front or back of your laundry room door.

They seriously create so much storage space, so definitely use them wherever you can. There are several sizes available, but I would pick the one with the most storage.

10. Install Hooks

Hooks, hooks, and more hooks, haha! But seriously, hooks are a must in any space when you are trying to create storage. You can install them behind doors, or on the wall as shown here. And they are great for making sure you have a space to hang whatever you need to hang and keep your floors clear of clutter! 

11. Install A Space Saving Drying Rack

If you have a little more extra empty wall space, install one or two of these space-saving wall-mounted drying racks. What I love about these is that they fit a lot of items and you can use them both when they are raised against the wall or you can pull them out when you need to hang more items.

These do require a good amount of wall space to install, so measure your space first.

12. hang baskets on empty walls for extra storage

Need more basket storage to store smaller, or loose items? Install some of these nice large wall baskets. You can store towels, lost socks, extra laundry supplies, etc. And they are perfect because you can install them on empty wall space and create so much storage that was otherwise not there!

13. organize inside cabinets with bins and labels

Earlier, I showed you some inspiration to install shelving storage over the washer and dryer. But if you already. have cabinets then you are going to want to organize inside the cabinets too, so you can best optimize each cabinet and create functionality.

You can do that by organizing your laundry supplies into bins and baskets and adding labels to your bins for maximum functionality. You can use the bins and baskets mainly to store smaller, loose laundry supplies. And putting them into bins helps maximize the storage space in your cabinets and keeps everything contained nicely.

14. Install Wall to Wall Shelving With Built-in Rods

If you have the wall space, installing wall shelves with built-in rods is seriously genius! You can use the shelves to add baskets to organize all your laundry room supplies. And you can use the rods to hang clothes to dry. You can also add hanging baskets to create more storage, hang laundry hampers, etc. I mean, there is really so much potential for extra storage. 

15. Put dryer sheets in a cute organizer

As I mentioned earlier, the packaging for laundry supplies is not the nicest thing to look at, so whenever you can transfer them into a nicer container, do it! This dryer sheet container is 100% better than the laundry sheet boxes that end up all torn up and just make the space look cluttered and unorganized.

And an easy fix to the messy torn-up laundry sheet boxes is to transfer your dryer sheet is into a dryer sheet canister like this one or something similar. I like the clear container because it’s easy to see when I am running out and just look really nice too.
