Your home’s laundry room is responsible for keeping your items clean, but it may not be organized optimally. One way to make the space more functional and appealing is to install additional storage. Here’s why you should consider custom cabinets for this room.

What Are the Benefits of Laundry Room Cabinets?

Better Organization

Installing cabinets in the laundry room will give you additional storage space. They can be used to store cleaning essentials like detergent and stain sticks, ironing and sewing supplies, and garments and textiles you’ve already washed and folded. Having cabinets also makes it easier to organize your supplies and take inventory.

Pleasing Appearance

Aside from being a functional space, the laundry room can also be as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of the interior. Cabinets come in a wide variety of styles and finishes that can complement the room’s color scheme.

What Are Some Factors to Consider?

Layout

You don’t need a huge space to have cabinets, but choosing the right ones depends on your laundry room’s configuration. A larger room gives you more freedom on where to install them and allows you to store necessary supplies in a spot that’s most convenient for you.

For example, many people choose to install base cabinets with a countertop for additional work space. If the room is small, though, you should maximize your real estate by using the upper section of the walls for cabinets.

Material

While the cabinets should tie into the rest of the laundry room’s decor, they should also use materials that make sense for the location. If the laundry room is in a less-frequented area like a basement, you may want to consider cabinets made from recycled materials or budget-friendly particle board or melamine. However, if it’s located in a spot with a lot of foot traffic, hardwood or glass-front custom cabinets make for a nice focal point.
