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. Consider adding a sink and perhaps a floor basin as well. A floor basin can be used for such household tasks as washing pets, cleaning muddy shoes, filling buckets and watering house plants.
