Laundry room

What laundry shelving has to work around

  • A top-loading washer

    The lid swings up and back, so the shelf above goes high enough that the lid opens fully and a load lifts out without hitting it.

  • Front-loading machines

    With nothing opening upward, the shelf can sit lower, closer to eye level, where jugs are easier to reach.

  • A stacked pair

    When the dryer sits on top of the washer there is no room above, so the shelving moves to the wall beside the stack.

  • Hoses, valves and the vent

    The water valves behind the washer and the dryer vent stay reachable, and the shelving is set so a machine can still be pulled out for service.

  • The door

    Shelving stops short of the door swing, so the door opens all the way.

The shelf and rail over the machines

One long shelf across both machines holds detergent, softener, stain spray and dryer sheets where they are used. A rail along the front edge of that shelf lets shirts go straight from the dryer onto hangers instead of wrinkling in a basket, and putting the rail over the dryer end keeps it beside the door they come out of.

If the room has height for a second level, a higher shelf takes bulk supplies, spare hangers and anything reached for less often than once a week.

Laundry details

Small choices that make a laundry room easier to use

  • A landing spot for baskets

    A lower shelf beside the machines gives a full basket somewhere to sit while you sort, instead of the floor.

  • Room for the ironing board

    A gap between the shelving and the door lets an ironing board or folding rack stand upright against the wall.

  • A section for pets or cleaning

    If pet food, mops and buckets live in the laundry room, a lower section can be set aside for them.

  • A window

    Shelving runs below the sill or stops at the frame, so the window still opens.

Laundry closets and garage laundry areas

Some houses put the washer and dryer behind bifold doors in a hallway, or out in the garage. In a laundry closet, the shelf ends clear the folded door panels so the doors close flat over the shelf edge. In a garage, the laundry shelving shares a wall with garage storage, planned so the door tracks and the opener keep their space and detergent sits apart from paint and lawn supplies.

Layouts

Laundry room shapes and where the shelving goes

  • Galley

    Machines along one wall and shelving on the opposite wall, where baskets can sit at waist height.

  • Laundry in a mudroom

    Machines near the back door, with a short rod beside them for coats and a low shelf for shoes.

Reach-in closets

A shelf and rod set for what hangs and what sits

A reach-in closet is a shelf and a rod, and their heights decide how much fits.

  • One rod

    A single rod set a little above five feet, with the shelf just over it, suits dresses, long coats and pants hung full length.

  • Two rods

    Shirts and folded pants hang about three feet long, so two rods, one above the other, fit twice as much in the same width.

  • Part long, part short

    One end of the closet can take a single rod for long clothes while the other end gets two rods stacked.

  • Room for a child

    A lower rod lets a child reach their own clothes, and on a shelf-and-rail system it can be moved up as they grow.

  • Behind the doors

    With bifold or sliding doors, the corners behind the wall are hard to reach, and a shelf that runs into them holds things you rarely need.

Closet depth and the gap above the rod

A clothes hanger is roughly 17 to 19 inches across, so a closet needs close to two feet of depth for clothes to hang without rubbing the door. In a closet shallower than that, a column of shelves for folded clothes makes better use of the space than a rod. The shelf over the rod sits a few inches above it, enough to lift a hanger off without catching the hook.

The rest of the house

Pantries and storage rooms

  • Walk-in closets

    Shelves and rods around several walls, with long and short hanging sections and room for shoes.

  • Pantries

    Levels spaced for cans, boxes and small appliances, with the floor left for cases and bulk bags.

  • Utility and storage rooms

    Deeper shelves for boxes and supplies, clear of the water heater and the electrical panel.

FAQ

Graceville laundry and closet shelving questions

Have another question? Call (850) 819-6031.

How deep is the shelf over the washer?
Deep enough for a jug of detergent, and shallow enough that you do not bump your head leaning in to load the machine. The depth is picked for the room and the kind of washer.
Can shelving go over a laundry sink?
Yes, set high enough that you can lean over the basin and run the faucet without hitting it.
Our closet ceiling is tall. Can it have two shelves over the rod?
Yes. A second shelf higher up holds hats, bags and spare bedding. Leave enough space between the two shelves to slide a folded blanket in and out.
Do you shelve closets in a house that is being sold or rented?
Yes. Owners, landlords and sellers can all book the work. Give us the name and number of the person who will open the house on the day.
Can you work on gutters or a garage door too?
Yes. Gutter installation, repair, cleaning and guards are part of our work, as are garage door and opener repair and new garage doors.
