Transformed Attic: A Remodeling Journey
Transforming Your Laundry Room with Elfa Wall-to-Wall Shelving
A well-organized laundry room can make chores feel less daunting. Elfa, a renowned storage solution provider, offers a modular system that can help you maximize your laundry room's potential. Here are some design ideas to inspire your transformation.
Firstly, incorporating stackable bins with lids on shelves can help you make the most of your vertical storage. These bins keep items organized, dust-free, and help utilize the full height of the wall-to-wall shelving system effectively.
Another useful feature is the use of drawer dividers inside the mesh drawers. This allows for the separation of smaller laundry essentials like detergent pods, stain removers, and dryer sheets. It controls clutter and improves accessibility.
When planning your Elfa laundry room, consider the placement of brackets carefully. Each shelf requires two brackets, and each mesh drawer requires two as well. Brackets can be shared when lining up shelves and drawers side by side to optimize stability and aesthetics.
To create a functional workspace, consider adding a folding or workspace at the desk area. Clear enough surface space for folding laundry, sorting clothes, or even a dedicated spot for ironing. Use the Elfa planning tool to customize the desk height and width according to your needs.
Incorporating hanging rods or hooks under shelving for air-drying clothes or hanging freshly ironed garments can help maximize utility without taking up floor space.
Labeled baskets or bins on the shelves can help with sorting laundry by color, fabric type, or family member. Clear or wire baskets let you see contents easily and keep the system visually tidy.
For a brighter, more inviting workspace, consider lighting enhancements like LED strip lights under shelves or above the desk.
These ideas leverage Elfa’s modularity and the online planning tool to customize your laundry room for maximum efficiency, order, and style. For more inspiration, reviewing IKEA laundry room hacks and Elfa-specific design examples on Pinterest and TikTok can provide additional creative solutions.
The laundry room design was overseen by Christine Dahlman, Storage Expert at Elfa. Styling for the article was done by Helen Sturesson, and photography was captured by Niki Brantmark. The laundry room features a craft section with a storing board, a clothes rod, and small trays and book ends. The shelving in the laundry room is made of melamine, and a reversible tray is used. The wall to the left in the laundry room has melamine shelves with wire shelf baskets. The end wall of the laundry room has a wire shelf and valet rods. There are hooks and hoops for hanging items throughout the space.
Incorporating interior-design elements like well-planned shelving and lighting enhancements can make your laundry room a stylish part of your home-and-garden lifestyle. With Elfa's modular system, you can create a laundry room that is not only efficient but also integrates seamlessly with your lifestyle, allowing for a more organized and less daunting laundry experience.
