Laundry Jars
Store dryer balls, laundry pods and other essentials in these stylish laundry jars. Clear jars look much sleeker on the counter than an assortment of branded containers. With this set of laundry room decor, you can not only choose the size of your jar but also the waterproof label, too.
Nesting Baskets
Need storage for extra linens? How about cleaning supplies? The use cases for your laundry room are endless, so keep everything tidy with these nesting banana leaf baskets. An assortment of sizes and shapes ensures you’ll find the perfect fit for whatever you need to stash.
Lint Bin
Lint bins are a handy laundry room product. We love that you can mount this one to the wall or attach it magnetically to the dryer itself. When you’re ready to get rid of the collected lint, just lift the lid and dump it into the trash. (Psst! Did you know you can use dryer lint in your backyard and garden?)
Laundry Art Print
This laundry art print serves as both a pretty framed item and a refresher on the different types of laundry symbols. You can purchase this laundry room decor in multiple sizes and background colors to match the style of your space.
Galvanized Laundry Drying Rack

Contrary to popular belief, drying racks don’t need to take up a large amount of space in your laundry room. You can attach this drying rack right onto your wall for easy access. When not in use, it makes for a pretty farmhouse decoration.
Floating Shelves
Floating shelves have become quite a laundry room staple in recent years—probably because they look stunning above a washer and dryer. They add a functional flair by allowing you to store laundry jars, soap dispensers and best-smelling detergent. Depending on the size, you can also display framed art or decorative knick-knacks on them. We love these white oak floating shelves, in particular, because they come in seemingly countless sizes and depths.
Sheet Organizers
If your extra linens end up in a crumpled pile after laundry day, try these sleek sheet cube organizers. They stack or nestle side-by-side on a shelf to keep everything from duvet covers to impossible-to-fold fitted sheets in order.Â
Laundry Labels
Stashing your laundry supplies in glass containers is a guaranteed way to take laundry room decor from “blegh” to “beautiful”—hence our first pick on this list. But how will you differentiate vinegar from distilled water? Why, laundry labels of course! This pretty set sticks onto containers of all shapes and sizes.
Colorful Floor Mat
Bring some color into your laundry room with a funky tile mat. This floral bundle has interchangeable tiles so you can spell out phrases or design new shapes when it’s time to switch things up.
Washer and Dryer Decals
Who says you can’t add stickers to your washer and dryer? Dress them up with these washer and dryer decals to add some fun to your laundry room. These guys are easy to peel off if you want to swap for another style down the road.
Folding Table

If you’ve got a smaller laundry room and you’re tired of hauling your hamper throughout your house to fold clothes, try installing a folding table next to your dryer. This table can collapse for extra space in your laundry room and, don’t worry—it can hold up to 500 pounds!
Laundry Sorter Bag
Everyone needs laundry sorter bags in their lives. You’ll never have to pick through your darks, lights and delicates ever again. Better yet, you can wheel the cart to your laundry room with ease.
Customizable Laundry Sign
Hanging a customized laundry sign will give your laundry room a personal touch. This one hangs beautifully on a wooden hanger frame and is available in a variety of stains, such as walnut and aged oak.
Laundry Soap Dispensers
Have laundry soap, fabric softener and bleach at the ready with a pumpable dispenser. Similar to the laundry jars, these clear gallon bottles give your laundry room a luxurious feel. You can also purchase these dispensers with a cap if you’d prefer to pour.
Canvas Wheeled Laundry Basket
Wheel heavy laundry loads and towels in this large laundry basket. It doubles as a place to fold laundry, thanks to the wooden top.
Colored Wool Dryer Balls
Replace your go-to fabric softener with natural dryer balls. Each one is made of 100% New Zealand wool. Most dryer balls on the market are pretty uniform in color, so we love that these are vibrant and fun.
Dryer Sheet Box
Keep dryer sheets within arm’s reach by using this acrylic tissue box as the place you keep them. Because this one is clear and simple, it’ll fit in with any home decor style. It also works for laundry detergent sheets.
Washable Black and White Rug
Separate darks and lights atop this cozy rug. The Hudson stripe rug from Ruggable is unique because you can detach the decorative rug cover and throw it right into the washing machine to clean up any stains or dirt. If you’re not digging the black and white, this rug comes in other colors, such as indigo, stone and red.
Ironing Board Organizer
Keep all your ironing needs in one spot with this smart ironing board organizer. Hang your ironing board on the metal hooks and place your best iron and steamer in the basket above. You can install this organizer right onto the wall with its easy-to-use hardware.
Laundry Storage Cart
Tuck a compact laundry storage cart in between your washer and dryer for easy access to your go-to laundry essentials. With three wide and tall storage baskets, you can fit larger items, such as laundry detergent bottles, with ease.
Collapsible Laundry Basket
Most laundry baskets take up major space in your laundry room or closet, but this laundry basket collapses to save you the extra space. (And if you want to get technical, you’ll be saving over 70% of storage space!) This basket also features comfortable grip handles that’ll make traveling around the house a breeze.
Mini Garbage Can
Sure, a garbage can might not be on the top of your wish list when searching for laundry items that’ll revamp your space. But this mini garbage can makes your life a whole lot easier. When you’re ready to take out the trash, just press on the hands-free foot pedal and grab the trash bucket handles for removal.
Hanging Planters
Got a green thumb? Plant real or fake plants to bring life to your laundry room decor with these hanging planters. Not sure where to start? These houseplants are a safe bet.
Velvet Hangers
Add a pop of color to your laundry room with pink velvet hangers (or the black, cream or gray options). The soft velvet doesn’t create crimps in your clothing, but the fabric still clings to your dresses, sweaters and shirts to prevent them from slipping off. Practical and pretty—what more could you want?
Themed Wallpaper
This whimsical black-and-white wallpaper is so fun! The neutral color palette keeps the print from looking too busy, and the wallpaper is available in several materials, including canvas or fabric, to best suit your style. When you’re ready to switch the look, simply peel it off.
FAQs
How to decorate a laundry room wall?
If you have a blank wall in your laundry room, you could put up some peel-and-stick wallpaper, hang an art print or two or even install shelving to help you stay organized.
How to design a laundry room layout?
If you’re designing a laundry room from scratch, consider what makes sense for you regarding the space. Do you need extra cabinets for linens and cleaning supplies? Would your front-loading washing machine and dryer stack to save floor space?
