My laundry room is tiny. This is unfortunate since I seemingly spend hours of every day tucked away inside this little space. Washing, switching, folding, hanging, putting away. It’s kind of a non-stop affair around here.
Honestly, I don’t really mind doing laundry.
I know.
WHAT.
Part of the reason is because I know it could be worse (DISHES – I am talking to you). But I also think I’ve found a few laundry room accessories that make laundry a lot less than miserable, despite the small space. Maybe even a little bit…fun?
Here are 5 laundry room accessories you need.
1. Cute laundry room printables. Seriously, you guys…cute wall art helps! I made these printables because A) every day I’m laundering, and B) they’re cute. And they’re free. You can download them at the bottom of this post!
2. The right detergent.
3. A lint bin. When I get around to redoing the laundry room, I’ll be installing a cute little lint bin on the wall next to the dryer. Not only will this be more fun to look at, but it will also save me some space. In our tiny laundry room, even a little trash can gets in the way.
4. Dryer balls. I’ll add some essential oils and toss them in the dryer, and when my laundry is done I take out the softest, sweetest-smelling laundry you can imagine! They also look adorable in a basket on the dryer.
5. Two laundry baskets. One for light clothes, one for dark clothes. In theory, everyone in the family puts their dirty clothes in the correct basket to make my life easier.
In theory.
In real life, HAHAHAHA! But at least I have them, just in case someone wants to start using them.

My laundry room might be small, but it’s functional! I’d love to hear about your favorite laundry room accessories below.
I loved the printables! I’ll be printing them out just as soon as we get some ink.
I’m glad you like them!! They definitely make my laundry room a little bit more fun! 🙂
Those printables are soooo cute! Wish I had a laundry room to put them in, but my washer and dryer are just pushed into a whole in my back hall. That sounds so much worse than it is. LOL
Lol! Just stick them on the wall! 🙂
I thought I was the only one who enjoyed laundry! People think I’m nuts! And the printabales make it even better.
I find it kind of relaxing! I used cloth diapers for both of my kids and people thought I was nuts when I said I didn’t mind the extra laundry.
I LOVE adding lavender essential oils to our dryer balls…esp sheets! Thanks for the downloads!
I need to order some new dryer balls. My kids used them all weapons and I am missing a bunch.
Where did you get that white frame? I am painting my laundry room yellow…I need this sign. THANK YOU!!!
I’m glad you like it! I want to paint my laundry room yellow, too.
I got the frame at Walmart of all places – it was exactly what I was looking for.
I ADORE these printables! For what ever reason I am unable to get the images to download. Has anyone else had issues?
Oh no! Email me at [email protected] and I’ll send you the copies directly. Some people are randomly unable to download them, but I don’t know why.
Your laundry room looks lovely! No wonder if you like to do the laundry… atmosphere is so positive and fresh… I find the printable great! I think that I need some motivation when it comes to cleaning and doing the laundry… so I will definitely use them! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Marjorie! I hope you like them!
I just moved into a new house that has a laundry room! Yay! I’m wondering where you got a lint bin? Also, I love the free printable I will be using those! Another way to make your laundry room pop is to use shelf liners on your machines that have pretty patterns and colors.
I just use a little trash can, but I’m going to replace it soon with a wall-mounted bin (not sure exactly how I’ll do that, though…but I’m thinking I’ll DIY one and mount it on the wall near my dryer). Our laundry room is teeny and space is at a premium!
