Marie Kondo your laundry room: how to create a system that works

Before you start sorting, think about what your new laundry room needs to do. Where will the laundry baskets go? Which items should be within easy reach? Which can be stored high or low? By defining this system first, you’ll avoid cramming everything back into the cabinets and letting the chaos return.

Then you can start emptying the space. Sort everything by category: laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, towels, cleaning cloths, and accessories. For each item, ask yourself: “Does this bring joy or serve a purpose?” Anything unnecessary should be given away or thrown out. This creates both space and clarity.

A cabinet for your washer and dryer can become the centerpiece of your new system. With Washtower®, you can design your own cabinet wall so it fits perfectly with your space and needs. Do you want the appliances side by side or stacked? Would you like upper and lower cabinets for extra storage?

Inside the cabinets, you can choose from different layouts:

• Vertical division: shelves on the left for towels and detergent, a compartment on the right for the ironing board or vacuum cleaner

• Wardrobe section: for hanging coats

• Drawer cabinet: pull-out drawers for cleaning cloths, clothespins, and sponges

Transparent bins and clear labels keep everything organized and ensure your laundry room stays tidy, even after years of use.

A smart system starts with sorting your laundry. Set up multiple baskets for different types of laundry: one for colors, one for whites, and one for delicates. This way, you’ll never have to dig through a full basket to separate clothes, you can see at a glance what needs washing. Place the baskets in a cabinet or under a countertop so they’re always within reach and your laundry room stays tidy.

The countertop itself is essential for a practical system. You can fold clothes immediately after washing, preventing them from piling up or getting wrinkled. Extra cabinets under the countertop are perfect for storing baskets, cleaning supplies, or an iron. This way, sorting, washing, and folding all happen in one organized workspace, making your routine faster and more efficient.
