Laundry Room Shelving

Thanks For Sharing!

Disclosure: I am a member of the BHG Live Better Network. I received compensation from BHG at Walmart for this post.

If there was one thing I could change about our house, it would be the addition of one large mudroom/laundry room. One big place to toss all the dirty shoes and clothes and have a sink and enough counter space. We don’t have any type of mudroom or drop station in our home (our garage door leads right into our entry way/family room) so to solve this problem I created a Garage Mudroom Room earlier this year and I love it.

Now onto the laundry room. It really baffles me that the builder put such a small laundry room in our home. While it does have a small linen closet attached that provides storage, it’s really only big enough for a washer/dryer. Yes, I did opt for larger machines in this house that take up more space (and require fewer loads), but there really isn’t much room for anything else. Aside from wanting to decorate it a little bit, I really DID need a rack to dry clothes on.

Learn how to create this DIY Industrial Laundry Room Shelving for a small laundry room! Get the metal pipes at the hardware store and build a unique and practical system to help you stay organized!

Industrial Laundry Room Shelving

Today, I’m showing you the first big step in decorating this room with our new Laundry Room Shelving and fun accessories. I LOVE using pipes for projects and decided to create something unique for this space. I had this vision of the pipe shelves floating and while the project was not without a few snags and mishaps, I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Before and After Laundry Room

Here is a quick before and after picture, this will tell you just how boring and messy it was before. It needed some organization and beautification :)

BHG Laundry Room Baskets

This gives me the space to store practical laundry items and also add a few decor pieces. It also solves my problem of needing a place to hang clothes while they dry.

Laundry Room Accessories

This little ‘Things Jar‘ and ‘Stuff Dish‘ have to be two of my favorite things I have ever found at Walmart. Ever. Aren’t they adorable?! They work great for a laundry room but they also have a complete bathroom set if you are looking for one!

Vintage Laundry Room Decor

BHG Vintage Wall Clock

I just love this Pocket Watch Wall Clock ! It has such a great vintage feel and the price is just right.

Pipe Shelving in Laundry Room

I love all my fun new accessories from the BHG Live Better Line at Walmart. They seriously have the cutest laundry room and bathroom accessories, I’m always surprised what I can find there! And you can’t beat the price.

Lost Soles Sign for Laundry Room

I created this little sign using this Frame With Clips from the BHG line. I just added the little saying and clipped the socks onto the hooks. This will really come in handy with all the lone socks I have around the house!

Faux Wood Laminate Flooring

I love adding a few personal items into each space I do. My grandma gave me this little wooden ironing board a long time ago and it’s so special to me. I love that it now has a place!

I think the whole look ties perfectly into the flooring that came with our home. It’s hard to believe it’s a faux wood laminate.

    It looks great, Taryn! The industrial shelving not only looks good but very functional as well. The ‘lost soles’ is such a cool idea.

    Would you please share (maybe a post) how you made your shelves? I have been wanting the same thing over my kitchen sink for herbs and was so happy to see you had success in building your own!!

    Thanks :)

    This is such a clever use of space & it adds so much style to your laundry room! I’d love to do something like this in our laundry room. I bet it’s awesome to have a place to hang clothes on hangers!

    Wonderful job. I would LOVE to have a laundry room! Unfortunately, my washer and dryer share the room with the car. :-( I’ll take yours. This is the same style we used on our houseboat. Love it.

      Ditto the question above. Would love to know the components like you did for the bookshelves. I am sure it took a lot of time to figure that out, but we will wait! Thanks. Your work is beautiful.

    What brand+size are your washer and dryer? Also have a small laundry space to work with, and those look like they would be perfect.

      Hey Jennifer! These are HUGE and I love them. We are a family of five and I can often do an entire week’s worth of clothes for all of us in just THREE loads. It’s a life saver. They are Kenmore Elite: https://www.sears.com/kenmore-elite-5.2-cu-ft-front-load-washer/p-02641072000P?unitNo=
