The Best Products At Ikea To Help Keep Your Laundry Room Organized

Having a dedicated laundry room in your home is great for keeping your clothes and cleaning supplies all in one area. However, just like the laundry piles up in your bedroom or bathroom, a laundry room can also very quickly spiral out of control. A once tidy room can quickly turn into a mess of dryer sheets, loose laundry pods, and dirty clothes strewn about with no discernible sense of organization.

There are many crafty ways to organize your laundry room, ranging from adding a few baskets to whole organizational systems. Clutter Keeper recommends making use of vertical space to keep your floors clear, adding cabinets, utilizing rolling carts, and organizing supplies in baskets and bins as a start. These tools are all great ways to keep your laundry room orderly and organized, but only if you know where to get them. One of the things Ikea is most well known for, aside from its low prices, is its large amount of organizational items. Keep reading for a list of those items great for your laundry room.

Up first is Ikea's Nysjön laundry cabinet, which costs $160, and has a 4.8-star rating. This cabinet stands nearly 75 inches, or 6 feet tall, and has two levels of shelving hidden behind a hinged door. What makes this cabinet unique, and ideal for laundry room organization, are the holes in the doors at each level of shelving.

The holes directly correspond to a basket underneath, meaning you can put your laundry into either bin how you see fit — lights and darks, delicates and non, synthetic and natural materials, etc. If you don't have room for multiple laundry baskets, this cabinet utilizes vertical space for more laundry storage. It also discreetly hides your laundry. The baskets are removable, so you can also use the interior shelves for other storage or organizational purposes. The cabinet is made of particleboard, and the door can be installed with hinges on either the left or right.

Baskets are a simple, cost-friendly, and efficient way to organize any room, and especially your laundry room. Whether you use them to store towels, linens, cleaning supplies, detergents, or more, they can group your items together with easy visibility and access, but discreetly hide them and make your laundry room look more polished.

Ikea's Branäs baskets cost $18 each, and come in a rattan and dark gray option. The baskets are handwoven and made of rattan, and can be cleaned with a dry cloth. They also have handles for lifting baskets filled with heavier materials, like detergent bottles. They have a 4.4-star rating. The baskets are designed to fit the Kallax shelving units (but are not exclusive to them), unless you choose another cubby-style storage shelf for organization in your laundry room. They also have protective padding made of felt underneath to prevent the rattan from scratching your shelves or surfaces.

One of Ikea's most top-selling products is the Råskog utility cart, which costs $40, and comes in white, black, or gold. It can be used in any variety of ways or rooms, including for organization in your laundry room. It has three stacked narrow shelves on wheels, which can fit your detergents, cleaning supplies, stain removers, bleach, laundry pods, and more, with the convenience of being able to wheel it around.

This utility cart has a 4.9-star rating. Per the product description, the middle shelf can be moved as needed to make more vertical room on the bottom or middle shelf, and has adjustable casters if your floors are uneven. It can hold a total of 13 pounds per shelf, or 40 pounds overall, and can be cleaned with a dry cloth or mild soap. It's narrow, meaning it can slot into smaller laundry rooms.

Laundry baskets are an essential element of laundry room organization. It's ideal for your laundry basket to be able to move around for convenience, whether on wheels, or with handles, like the Jäll laundry bag. This laundry bag from Ikea costs $5, and has a 4.5-star rating.

The basket holds up to 18 gallons, or 17 pounds, of clothing, linens, etc., and has a folding metal frame. Further, there are handles in the EVA plastic bag itself, so you can carry it around the house to collect laundry or to your washing machine. Once done, you can unfold the frame and leave it as is. It can also be hung on a hook, as long as the hook can bear its weight, to free up floor space in your laundry room. The bag is slightly translucent, so you can see how much is inside without seeing all your dirty laundry at once.

Having a place to hang your clothes, whether for air drying, steaming, or just general display, is very convenient for a laundry room. However, it can also get a little bulky, and it's better if it serves more than one purpose. The Mackapär coat rack has two levels of hanging rods, two bottom shelves, and storage space on the top of the shelf.

The coat rack costs $60, and has a 5-star rating. It has small hooks on both hanging rods, which you could use to hang laundry bags, or remove and place hangers on them. The sides of the rods also have space for two hooks each, so you could use the main area for hangers, and the sides for hampers. The shelves could hold cleaning supplies, storage bins and baskets, detergents, irons, and even decorations. The white colored steel can be cleaned with a mild cleaner. This rack needs to be fastened to the wall for safety.
