While organizing laundry might not seem thrilling, a creative approach can greatly improve the experience. One woman’s innovative use of IKEA products has transformed her laundry room into a beautiful and functional space that simplifies sorting clothes.
In many households, the laundry room serves multiple purposes beyond just washing clothes. This area often houses repairs, storage, and various household activities. Therefore, designing a room that is both efficient and visually appealing is essential. Home organization expert Laura Glos, known on social media as @cozynized, recently showcased her impressive laundry room renovation, highlighting how ordinary items can become extraordinary solutions.
Effective organization with IKEA components
Glos approached her laundry room by combining different IKEA products, particularly the TROFAST storage system and KNOXHULT kitchen cabinets, to create a unique and stylish environment. She emphasized organization through the use of labeled sorting baskets for various types of laundry, including whites, darks, and delicates. This simple yet effective method encourages everyone in the household to contribute to the organization process.
Creating a functional sorting system
“Using clearly labeled baskets allows everyone in my home to directly place their laundry into the appropriate container,” Glos explains. This not only saves time on laundry day but also minimizes stress and maintains a tidy space. The functionality of her design is evident in her strategic stacking of three TROFAST units, maximizing storage while keeping an attractive appearance.
The TROFAST bins, originally designed for children’s playrooms, have been repurposed into an organized laundry sorting system. Glos designated bins for various categories: whites, darks, delicates, and even bulky items like towels. With matching labels and consistent color schemes, the setup radiates a cozy aesthetic, transforming a mundane chore into an inviting task.
Personalizing your laundry space
To personalize her laundry room, Glos installed MOSSLANDA picture ledges, adorning them with framed laundry care guides and decorative items. This enhances the visual appeal while providing quick access to essential information. Sealing the counters with a bead of caulk gives the entire setup a polished, custom feel.
Budget-friendly IKEA solutions
One significant advantage of utilizing IKEA products is achieving a custom look without excessive spending. Glos’s laundry room transformation totaled approximately $771, which included $246 for the TROFAST units and bins, $20 for the picture ledges, and $505 for the KNOXHULT cabinets and drawers. With various configurations and sizes available, creating an ideal layout for any laundry room size is feasible.
