That's certainly true in this space, especially since most laundry rooms aren't usually spacious. Using every available inch of space to make the room work is key. It was laid out so that form followed function, and it really worked. As in kitchens and baths, cabinets and shelving are necessary. A mixture of cabinets, shelves and cubbies is the best way to go in a laundry room.
High cabinets are a good place to store laundry detergent, fabric softener and spray starch.
I like to store all of my cleansers here, keeping them in one place and out of sight and reach of little ones. Drawers are perfect for storing clothespins, sewing items, a toothbrush for scrubbing tennis shoes. Lowe's laundry room featured practical, retractable dryers. I also suggest extra counter space or a table for folding clothes. Today's best machines are for people who want to equip their homes with 21st century appliances.
