9. Flat-File Approach

8. Mudroom-Laundry Combo
Washers and dryers are often part of multifunctional spaces, and on first-floor spaces, a laundry and a mudroom are often mixed. RW Anderson Homes crafted beautiful and functional built-ins in this Seattle home for organizing outerwear, bags and shoes, and included a bench and a large sink for hand-washing or working on stains. The white Shaker cabinetry, dark wood shelves and bench, and brick-like tile floor create a farmhouse feel.

5. Convenient Countertop
Another way to create convenient folding space is to build a countertop over front-loading machines, as Grove Park Construction did in this classic Nashville, Tennessee, laundry room.

4. Freestanding Storage
While built-ins and custom cabinetry are great, it’s also nice to see some easy storage solutions homeowners can do themselves. In this Washington, D.C., laundry room by Jack Rosen Custom Kitchens and Haus Interior Design, freestanding utility shelves provide a space for folded clothing, extra towels, baskets of laundry supplies and more.

3. Elevated Ergonomics
Elevating front-loading appliances means less bending over, making it more comfortable to load and unload the laundry. This is also a good strategy for those who wish to age in place. For this sleek design in Vancouver, Lida Homes took advantage of the space beneath the machines to add two large drawers.

2. Hamper and Basket Storage
Alan Clark Architects flanked the machines in this Atlanta laundry room with storage spaces. A rolling hamper can sort and neatly store dirty clothing on one side. On the other there are laundry baskets to help organize folded clean clothes. The modern farmhouse-style barn lights overhead provide nice lighting for folding the clothes on the concrete counter.
