Laundry room cabinets add tremendous value to a home and they can even raise your home’s value. In fact, this addition could add several thousands of dollars of value. A designated laundry room in your home is convenient for a few reasons. First, it allows enough room for you to comfortably do your everyday chores, while creating great storage space for your linens.
Consider adding one if you don’t have a designated linen closet elsewhere, or simply need more storage space within your home. Whether you own a stacked washer and dryer or a traditional side-by-side set-up, your CliqStudios designer can work alongside you to maximize the space you have to work with, and create a laundry room design that meets your wants and needs.

Laundry Room Cabinets Measurement
The precise measurements of the laundry room cabinets you choose to install will depend on the type of washer and dryer you’ve chosen. The size of the room will also affect how large these appliances are as well as how many cabinets you can comfortably fit within the space.
On average, upper laundry room cabinets measure 12-14 inches deep, 9-48 inches wide, and sit 18 inches above the countertops (if you chose to include those within your design). If you have enough space for both upper and lower cabinets in your laundry room, the measurements will differ for both.
Be sure to take this into account before deciding to place an order for laundry room cabinets in your preferred style and color. If you run into any issues while taking these measurements, or find yourself in need of any help, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the CliqStudios customer support team. You can also speak with your CliqStudios designer directly, or have us measure for you.

Laundry Room Cabinet Ideas
There are endless directions you can take when it comes to designing a laundry room in your home. No matter what interior design style you’re the most drawn to, there are ways to draw out that style within your laundry cabinets. You can also implement specialty accessories and details to make your space unique like lazy susans, roll-out trays, glass doors, or a door style with major personality. Here are some of the best laundry room cabinet ideas for your home.
Charming, Colorful Cabinets
Choosing a bold color for your laundry room cabinets is a very smart choice, no matter what color palette you prefer. For example, a calming shade of blue or green is a terrific way to add a splash of color to your laundry room cabinets while keeping the design flexible. This color palette goes a long way in creating a serene look and feel throughout the space. It also invites a beautiful contrast, especially if you select neutral shades such as black or white for other design elements such as the wall paint and flooring.
To create a particularly trendy design, add patterned wallpaper, such as feminine floral, and funky tile flooring in neutral colors to contrast the beautifully colored cabinets. Custom shades of paint are also an option. Talk to your CliqStudios designer about this choice if you’re looking for something more specific for your laundry room.

Convenient Clothes Hamper Pull-Out
Focusing more on the laundry room’s functionality, consider a pull-out cabinet. Specifically, a pull-out that’s designed to house a clothing hamper depending on how many you want to install within your laundry room cabinets.
Pull-out hampers will simplify the sorting process as well as keep dirty laundry out of sight when you’re not actively doing laundry. If you have the space available, add these to your design, not only for convenience, but also because a custom built-in like this will add value your home down the line.

Custom Drying Rack
Beyond the daily struggle of dirty laundry piling up, one challenge you might be facing within your laundry room is where to air dry clothing. If hanging nicer, more expensive items is something you do on a regular basis, then adding a clothing rod to your laundry room cabinets design is a good idea. This will provide plenty of space to dry whatever clothing items you may need.
Try installing this clothing rod above your washer and dryer units to make it even more convenient for you. This way, when you’re taking your laundry out of the washing machine, you can hang these pieces up to dry right away.

Fresh Countertops for Folding Clothes in a Laundry Room
Adding some sort of countertop into your laundry room design can benefit you in a big way. This addition will make folding laundry a more streamlined process, and create more room for sorting laundry prior to washing it. Plus, adding this design element will elevate the aesthetic of the laundry room. It also provides another opportunity to play with design and color. From quartz to granite and even variations of marble, there are plenty of chic countertops to choose from that will bring the space together.
For an ultra-modern finish, white marble countertops are an excellent choice. If you’re looking to highlight a more eclectic or bohemian interior design style, then quartz countertops in various shades may be a better choice for the space. Your CliqStudios designer can help you decide which material and color is the best choice to achieve the look you’re going for, and which would pair best with the laundry room cabinets that you have selected.
Built-In Shelves
Last, but certainly not least is a very practical design feature- built-in shelves. These shelves are a fantastic contribution to any laundry room. From sets of towels and bed sheets, to laundry detergent and décor, these shelves are very effective for storing all your linens. You can also organize further by adding stylish storage bins. Bins can hold more linens or laundry essentials such as fabric bleach, dryer sheets, and anything else you want to keep out of sight.
Additionally, the style and material of the storage bins you choose will only add to the overall design. For example, woven baskets are a great asset to a chic, bohemian design. On the other hand, if you choose clear acrylic or minimal metal baskets, they will further a sleek and modern design.
