Small laundry rooms can quickly become chaotic. With limited space and plenty of essentials like detergent, cleaning supplies, laundry baskets, and linens, smart storage is a must. Thankfully, IKEA offers a range of affordable, flexible solutions that make even the tiniest laundry space more functional – and more beautiful.
The ENHET system is one of IKEA's most modular offerings, and it works perfectly in laundry areas. Use a tall ENHET cabinet to hide away bulkier items like ironing boards or laundry baskets. Combine open shelving with closed units to balance function and style. Wall-mounted options free up floor space – especially important in narrow rooms.
JONAXEL is a brilliant system for building vertical storage. In laundry rooms, it can serve as a personalized sorting and organizing hub. Stack drawers for separating whites, darks, and towels, or use open mesh baskets for air circulation. It's compact and easily fits in awkward corners, under counters, or even behind doors.
While many think of KALLAX as a living room piece, it shines in laundry settings too. Its cube-based design is ideal for storing folded towels, bins of cleaning products, or extra linens. Place it horizontally under a window or vertically to define zones in a combined laundry-bathroom space. Add IKEA's DRÖNA or LEKMAN boxes to keep everything neat and out of sight.
BOAXEL is another great IKEA system designed specifically for laundry rooms, closets, and utility spaces. The open metal shelves and mesh baskets make it easy to air-dry linens or store laundry supplies. You can configure it to fit above a washer or next to a sink – and add as many components as you need.
If you're looking for a clean, minimal look, NYSJÖN laundry cabinets are a smart choice. They're designed to fit snugly over a washing machine and provide enclosed space for detergents, cleaning tools, and linens. Some models even include laundry chute-style openings for easy sorting.
Inside the NYSJÖN cabinet: ample shelf space for storing laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, or folded towels – all neatly hidden behind minimalist doors.
Pair your IKEA base units with small-space heroes like the SKÅDIS pegboard or KUNGSFORS rail. Hang clothespins, brushes, or even small laundry bags. These accessories increase usability without cluttering your surfaces.
Whether you're using ENHET or a basic IKEA countertop, placing a surface over your washer and dryer gives you an instant folding station. Choose a moisture-resistant finish and add a decorative tray for detergents and scent boosters.
You don't need a large utility room to stay organized. With IKEA's versatile products like KALLAX, ENHET, JONAXEL, BOAXEL, and NYSJÖN, even the smallest laundry area can be optimized for storage and style. The best part? These systems are budget-friendly and easy to reconfigure as your needs change.
