Rolling Laundry Basket Dresser
This rolling laundry basket dresser is a great way to organize the laundry room and save yourself a bit of time when doing laundry. You can presort your clothes in the baskets and it can easily be rolled from room to room for picking up the family's laundry. It's easy to build and perfectly holds three laundry baskets so you have space for three different loads. Plus, when you're not rolling it around, the top could be used for additional storage. If you need someplace to organize those baskets full of dirty laundry, this is a great choice.

Washer and Dryer Pedestals
If you don't yet have pedestals under your washer and dryer, now is the time to get them. And, you don't have to pay a small fortune for them, either. You can actually build them yourself. Pedestals are great for storing all sorts of things in the laundry room. You can either build them with drawers or make it a bite easier on yourself and just leave them open. You can keep baskets of laundry or baskets of cleaning and laundry supplies in the cubbies. These are so easy to make and utilize space that you normally wouldn't think of which is key in keeping things organized.

Chalkboard Door Rack
You can pick up a great behind the door organizing rack for around $30 at most home improvement stores. What you can do with that rack is completely organize and clean up your laundry room. In fact, when you paint the back of the door with chalkboard paint first, you can really get things organized. The paint is really inexpensive and it will take you about an hour to lay on a coat or two. Then just install the metal rack that will give you loads of storage space and you'll be able to clean off shelves and get things off the floor.

Slide Out Storage Tower
This slide out tower is actually made for the kitchen but we think it would be a wonderful addition to the laundry room. If you have a bit of space between the washer and dryer, you can just slide this right in there. It's wide enough to hold most cleaning supplies and you can even keep your laundry detergent, stain fighters and dryer sheets on it, too. Instead of piling those things sky high on a shelf, stick them away in that little bit of wasted space between your laundry room appliances. It has casters so it will slide in and out easily and just think of the organizing that you can do with it.

DIY Floating Shelves
The space above the washer and dryer is often not utilized to its full potential. If you have a little space, you can add these great DIY floating shelves that will allow you to store laundry essentials and just about anything else that you need to organize. They're easy to build, although you do need to make sure that you get them level and even. Think about adding baskets with cleaning supplies or you could use the shelf for linens if your linen closet isn't big enough. The possibilities are endless.

DIY Laundry Room Drying Rack
You can save a lot of space in the laundry room and in the bathroom when you build this laundry room drying rack. It sits firmly against the wall until you need it so it's a real space saver. Plus, it's perfect for drying delicates like lingerie and bathing suits that you can't really put in the dryer. You can buy these but it's a lot less expensive to make it yourself and it's not nearly as difficult as it looks. There are knobs on the bottom that are great for hanging things that dry on hangers or you could use them to hold plastic bags or whatever else you need to organize.

Fold Away Ironing Board
An ironing board doesn't really take up a lot of space, until you use it and sometimes forget to put it away. Instead of having to haul out that large, awkward ironing board every time you need some little something ironed, build this fold away board instead. It's got everything your normal ironing board has but it takes up much less space. When you aren't using it, it folds flat against the wall and it pulls down in a jiffy. If you've ever fought with your ironing board to get it to open or fold down, you know just how great this fold away version really is.

Bag Laundry Sorter
Sorting laundry can take up so much time. This 3 bag sorter eliminates that frustration and helps you to keep your laundry room organized and clean. By giving your family a place to sort all of their own clothes, you can save loads of time – pun intended. It glides around on wheels and it's not at all heavy. If needed, you could print up labels to place on the individual hampers to show everyone what colors you want in each of them. Then when it comes time to actually wash clothes, you just empty out the hampers and everything is already sorted. Everyone should have one of these!

Retractable Clothes Line
Hanging clothes out on the line is a great way to cut down on your energy bills but sometimes the weather just doesn't agree. For those times, you can build your own retractable clothes line. This is great for helping to organize the laundry room because it stores away out of sight so there are no bulky towers holding up your line. You can store it away in a cabinet and then just take it out and hang it when you need it. If you need a place to hang your delicates while they dry, this is great and it's really cheap to build, too.
