Definitely one of the most important elements to consider when remodeling a laundry room is storage.
In fact, I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t want better storage options in their home.
While I had cabinetry in my laundry room, I wanted it to function better.
So I chose to look for new cabinetry to fill that need.
To help this fit into my budget, I chose flat pack cabinets.
They are well made with plywood boxes, dovetail drawers, solid wood doors and came with soft close hinges and slides.
Installing them yourself will help keep the cost down.
I made a little mistake when ordering my cabinets.
You see, I intended the upper cabinets to go to the ceiling for even more storage.
When we went to install them, I was shocked that they weren’t tall enough.
But when a project gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Right?
So we made these cubbies that are built exactly the same way as the built in wall shelves.
Just tipped on their side and framed out with molding.
It all turned out good!
Not only did I get my extra storage, but it also looks pretty with the natural grass baskets.
