The laundry room is one of the most neglected areas in most homes. In fact, a lot of homeowners are keeping their laundry rooms strictly off limits, especially with all the clutter piling up in that space.

It's so easy to mess up the laundry room. It's kind of ironic since it's the one place where we are supposed to clean up our messes. And yet, it is usually where our mess begins.

Knowing all these, don't you think it's time for a laundry room makeover? If you really think you need to start organizing your home starting with that mess called the laundry room, you need all the help you can get!

Tips in Organizing Your Laundry Room
Have plenty of storage options. Keep your things organized and prevent chaos from ruining your space by providing a lot of storage options. You can mix and match hutches, wall mounted shelves and cabinets to create a laundry system that works for you.

Install a laundry bar. Cotton button-down shirts have a tendency to shrink so you should remove them from the dryer while slightly damp, then air-dried. Instead of installing a drying rack which can only hold a few shirts at a time, consider
installing a bath-towel holder mounted on the underside of a laundry-room shelf. You can also use it to hang pressed shirts as you iron them.

Use every bit of space available. If you don't have enough space for conventional storage shelves or racks, you should use every space available to keep your space organized. Consider buying an inexpensive over-the-door rack from your local hardware store and tuck it neatly on the door of your laundry room. You can also paint the back of the door with chalkboard paint so you can use it to leave messages and washing instructions.

Some Other Tips in Organizing Your Laundry Room
Consider using a laundry sorter with built-in ironing board. The laundry sorter and ironing cart combo is absolutely perfect for smaller spaces. You can use it to hold all of your laundry supplies and have a mobile ironing surface as well.

Personalize your space. Don't be afraid to jazz up your space! Decorate it according to your taste. You can hang a family picture, vintage wall posters, and anything else you can think of.

Use colors to make it feel bigger. One of the most effective yet inexpensive ways to organize and freshen your laundry room is to add some color so consider painting the walls or use a colorful rug.
