Something that seems rather extravagant but we do not always wish to have our home appliances all on a show for you and others to feast their eyes on.

It keeps your washing machine and dryer away from sight at all times. It will also add more harmony within a room without the brass look of plastic and the latest technology. Include a working shelve top to maximize the space and also the look of the finished article making it a lot more pleasant to look at.

Think of your laundry room door as the ultimate space savior laundry storage. These storages are already made and chances are will not cost much cash but save you space and tranquility.
Small Laundry Organization

Some of us might have had at one point in our lives wall closets taking the best part of an entire wall, but that isn’t noticeable staying rather elegant hiding your personal things away. Well, laundry isn’t what you would put on the mantelpiece either and therefore could sacrifice a 3-meter wall creating a unique laundry organizing station. Have your bedding sheets in there, kitchen towels, bathroom towels….anything that seems to get in the way of your every day to day cloth. It is a bit of work, but if you have that one wall that isn’t doing much and appear to have your washer and dryer there too, think of increasing the space and hide it away from the eyes of your guests and also yours for a more harmonious space.

Chances are the utility accessories to clean your house with, are all underneath a sink, then perhaps in the other room, and the rest of the cleaning apparatus could be hidden somewhere else. Think of the utility room as an all-in-one cabinet. Especially for the larger things like the bathroom for instance. Sacrifice a lovely cabinet and turn it into a piece of art where all your everyday cleaning needs are hidden away, nicely, making cleaning slightly more tolerable.
