Orange County Home Remodeling: Ideas for Your Laundry Room

Organization is the key as you plan your new laundry room, or even when you install new appliances in the old one. Whether the laundry room is hidden from view or can easily be seen by everyone entering your back door. If the room itself is small, it is all the more important to have everything in its proper place.

Shelves help immensely with the organization when you can hide all the laundry paraphernalia, things like soap, bleach, softener that can be kept out of sight. A fairly large table top or shelf can help when it’s time to fold the articles coming out of the dryer. If there’s room for a couple of bins to hold the dirty items ready to wash would also be helpful.

However the most important items are the washer and dryer and if you’re lucky enough to have both there will be no need for a line to hang the clean clothes on in order to dry them. Many people across the world and even those in the country directly south of us don’t have those luxuries that we in America consider them to be a necessity.

When you find the need to replace your appliances, consider buying those that are efficient in the use of water as well as gas or electric. Today front loading machines are very popular but are also more expensive even though they claim to be efficient. One thing to consider in your purchases will be how easy it is to transfer the articles from the washer to the dryer. Many washer and dryer doors can be switched from one side to the other, but not all have that feature.

The modern laundry room situated in a home will in all probability be where the water and utilities are available. Some are closer to the bathrooms, others near the kitchens, and still others may be in the garage, and you may not have that choice. So when your laundry room is in place, try to keep it neat and organized and you will no doubt enjoy utilizing one of the most popular and needed rooms in the house.

Like we said before you are considered lucky if you indeed have a laundry room and your washer and dryer are out of the way even if only hidden behind shuttered doors. So count your blessings, and if there is no room for those two appliances, you may have to pack up the dirty articles and head to the Laundromat.
