Collection: Laundry Storage

What laundry storage does your space need?

The right laundry storage depends on the room's job and size. A laundry short on bench space wants a cabinet over or beside the machines. A household sorting darks and lights needs a laundry hamper with sections, a laundry basket or two, or a laundry organiser. A narrow laundry gains from a slim trolley that rolls into the gap between the wall and the machine. And a small apartment laundry uses vertical storage — tall shelving or an over-door organiser. Work out whether you need bench space, sorting or vertical storage, and the type follows.

How do you fit storage into a small laundry?

Go vertical and use the gaps. A tall cabinet or shelving unit stores detergent, cleaning gear and linen without taking floor space. A slim trolley on wheels slides into the narrow gap beside a machine, holding baskets or supplies, and rolls out when needed. Over-machine shelving uses the wall above a front-loader. Measure the gaps and the height above the machines, since a laundry's storage usually hides in the spaces other rooms waste. Leave room for machine doors and lids to open fully.

Cabinet, hamper or trolley — which suits you?

Each does a different job. A laundry cabinet hides detergent, cleaning products and linen behind doors for a tidy look. A laundry hamper or basket sorts and carries dirty clothes, with sectioned hampers separating darks and lights. A rolling trolley moves supplies or baskets around and tucks into tight gaps. A drying rack folds away when not in use. Match the storage to your goal — hiding supplies, sorting washing or making the most of a narrow space.

What we'd tell a friend before they buy laundry storage

Here's the practical bit. A laundry is a damp room, so moisture-resistant materials matter — a raw particleboard cabinet swells and warps near a wet area, while a coated or plastic unit shrugs it off. Check the material suits a laundry. If you're squeezing a trolley beside a machine, measure the gap precisely, since laundries are unforgiving of a few centimetres. And a hamper on wheels beats one you carry when the laundry's away from the bedrooms. Buy for moisture and the tight measurements, not just the look.

FAQs – get the answers you need

How do I add storage to a small laundry?
Go vertical with tall cabinets or shelving, and use the gaps beside machines with a slim rolling trolley. Over-machine shelving uses the wall above a front-loader.

What's a sectioned laundry hamper?
A sectioned hamper has separate compartments for sorting darks, lights and delicates as you go, so washing is pre-sorted by the time you load the machine.

Are laundry cabinets moisture-resistant?
Look for coated or plastic units, since a laundry is a damp room. Raw particleboard can swell and warp near a wet area, so check the material suits the space.

Can a laundry trolley fit beside my machine?
Slim trolleys are made for the narrow gap beside a machine. Measure the gap precisely before buying, since laundries are unforgiving of a few centimetres.

What laundry storage suits a rental?
Freestanding cabinets, trolleys, hampers and shelving need no fixing to walls, so they suit rentals and move with you.
