Farmhouse style combines the old and new. One of the very core ideals of the farmhouse look is practicality. One of the greatest things about this particular decor is that you generally don't have to sacrifice functionality for style.

Let me be the first to tell you, it was SO worth it! Over the past several months, I’ve discovered that sometimes it’s worth it to spend a little on a space even if it’s not going to be your ideal space.Farmhouse style can bring in rustic charm while also creating a look that is fresh, honest, and, at times, whimsical. I’ve put off this project for 3.5 years because I wasn’t sure it would be worth it. I want to encourage you to not be afraid to make improvements in areas of your home that you don’t like. It’s certainly not my dream laundry room, but it sure is better than before. So what do you think? Small, right!? The best part is we came in under $200! Here is a breakdown of the expenses: Above this shelf, I have 3 white baskets from the Dollar Tree that hold some extra cleaning supplies.īehind the door, I’m storing my vacuum cleaner, ironing board and iron, and my two Turbo Mops that I’ve hung with book rings on 3M Command hooks. This is where I store a few miscellaneous things including my essential oils supplies, a few extra school supplies for my 5 year old, and some home decor pieces that I store away seasonally. I have three more of the wire baskets from Walmart above the dryer. These store my stain remover, clothes pins, and dryer balls. Underneath the cabinet, I have three galvanized tins I purchased at Walmart. I’m using the cabinet to store the more unsightly items like all of my laundry supplies as well as my Cricut machine and laminator. I made a sign using this tutorialto fill the blank space on the wall above the water heater.

I used a little lamp I had on hand and it makes it so cozy in there when I’m working on laundry. My husband installed a cabinet above the washer and we added two shelves over the dryer for even more storage. I used my label maker to label each basket so it’s easy to find exactly what we are looking for.Īt the back of the laundry room is where the washer and dryer is located. Above the bar, I’m using dollar store baskets I already had on hand to store things like cleaning rags, batteries, lightbulbs, and painting supplies. On the right side, I have a long shelf with a bar for hanging clothes. They are being used to store some more of my crafting supplies and all of our seasonal candles.īelow these shelves, I’m using a Better Homes and Garden’s laundry sorter. I found the wire baskets at Walmart for $7.44 each and already had the brown wicker baskets on hand. I used some baskets I already had on hand and DIYed a few out of some cardboard boxes and twine to store craft supplies, ribbon, and spray paint. On the left side when you walk in there are 4 shelves I’m using as storage.
#Farmhouse laundry room organization update
Not only is this our laundry room, but it’s also where our furnace and water heater are located as well as where we store all of our cleaning supplies, craft supplies, and household items like lightbulbs, batteries, and the like.Īfter we painted the walls, we reused a lot of the shelving and brackets we already had by sanding and staining the boards and using Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint to update the brackets. Today is the day! I’m FINALLY sharing our organized farmhouse laundry room! It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally finished and we actually came in on budget! I’m so thrilled with how this laundry room turned out.
