Having a dedicated laundry room at home can make clothing care, from washing to ironing, more practical and efficient. You no longer need to go back and forth between different rooms to complete each step. You don’t need a large space either. With the right equipment, you can create a functional and tidy laundry room. So, what essentials do you need? Let’s take a look!
1. Washing Machine Cabinet
A washing machine cabinet allows you to make better use of the space above your washing machine for storage, keeping your laundry essentials neatly organized.
One recommendation is the Stora Washing Machine Cabinet with Pegboard. You can use it to hang small items such as clothes brushes, scissors, hangers, and other laundry accessories. Each hook can support a load of up to 1 kg.
The cabinet features two open and closed shelves, each with a load capacity of 20 kg. They provide storage for detergent, fabric softener, and other laundry supplies, while the closed compartments help protect items from dust.
2. Detergent and Fabric Fragrance
To keep your clothes clean and fresh for longer, choose detergents and fabric fragrances that suit your needs.
The Glint detergent collection and fabric fragrance collection offer a variety of options in different forms and formats, including liquid, capsules, and sheets. For fabric fragrances, there are also scented beads available in a range of fragrances to choose from.
Despite their different formats, Glint products effectively remove stains from clothing and also provide antibacterial protection.
3. Laundry Basket
Dirty clothes waiting to be washed should be kept in a dedicated laundry basket to prevent clutter. You can also prepare several baskets to separate clothes by type. For example, T-shirts and trousers can go in a larger basket, while underwear, socks, and other smaller items can be placed in a smaller one.
You can choose the Stora Triangle Laundry Basket, available in 35-liter and 55-liter sizes. Both feature triangular ventilation holes that help maintain airflow, preventing dirty clothes from becoming damp too easily.
The baskets also come with lids to keep your laundry area looking neat and organized.
4. Clothes Drying Rack
If you have limited space, choose a compact clothes drying rack that can still hold plenty of laundry, such as the Stora 3-Tier Clothes Drying Rack. Its tiered design helps save space in your laundry room.
Each shelf has a load capacity of up to 35 kg and is equipped with hooks on both sides for hanging clothes hangers or small laundry clips. The rack also has wheels for easy mobility and can be folded away when not in use, making it convenient to store.
5. Iron and Ironing Board
Once your clothes are clean and fresh, don’t forget to set up an ironing area in your laundry room. Choose an iron and ironing board that suit your needs.
If you prefer ironing while sitting on the floor or using a table, consider the Stora Top Table Ironing Board. Its short legs make it suitable for use on the floor or on a table. The ironing surface measures 30.5 x 76 cm.
However, if you prefer ironing while sitting on a chair or standing, you can use the Stora Rain Drop Ironing Board. It features four adjustable height settings, allowing you to find the most comfortable position. The ironing surface measures 91.5 x 30.5 cm.
As for the iron itself, you can choose a steam iron such as the Kris Zeno Steam Iron. Its powerful, consistent steam output and even heat distribution make it easier to smooth out wrinkles. The soleplate also features a ceramic coating that helps prevent clothes from sticking during ironing, making the process more comfortable and convenient.
These five essentials can serve as the foundation for creating a dedicated laundry room at home, making clothing care more practical and efficient.
