Wire Shelving for Laundry and Utility Rooms in Vernon, Florida
Shelves over the washer and dryer, a rail for hanging clothes, and utility room storage in Vernon houses.
Laundry room shelving in Vernon
Big Bend Services, Inc. supplies and installs wire shelving in Vernon, ZIP code 32462, in laundry rooms, utility rooms, closets, pantries, garages and storage rooms.
A laundry room and a utility room share one problem: the shelves have to fit around machines, pipes and doors that are already there. Tell us what kind of washer and dryer you have and what the room needs to hold, and the layout starts from that.
How high the laundry room shelf over the washer and dryer should sit
A top-loading washer has a lid that swings up, so the shelf above it has to sit high enough for the lid to open fully and for you to lift wet clothes out without hitting your head. A front-loading pair opens toward you, which lets the shelf come lower and puts the detergent closer to hand.
A stacked washer and dryer use the height of the wall instead of the width. Shelving then goes on the wall beside the stack rather than over it.
The back of the machines needs room as well. The water valves, the drain and the dryer vent sit behind or above the washer and dryer, so the shelf is placed where you can still reach the valves and the vent hose keeps its space.
Depth is the other half of the choice. A shelf that stops a little short of the front of the machines keeps its edge away from your forehead when you lean in, and still holds a full-size jug of detergent.
The laundry wall
What a Vernon laundry room can hold
A laundry closet behind folding doors and a full laundry room with a sink take different amounts of shelving.
A long shelf over both machines
One shelf across the full width holds detergent, softener and stain spray in a single row where every label shows.
A hanging rail
A rod beside the dryer takes shirts straight out of it on hangers, and clothes that cannot go in the dryer at all.
A second, higher shelf
Spare paper towels, light bulbs and cleaning refills go above the first shelf, since they come down less.
Shelves beside the machines
In a wider room, a short column of shelves at the end of the machines holds baskets and folded towels.
Laundry closets
A washer and dryer behind laundry closet doors
When the machines sit in a closet off a hallway or kitchen, the doors and the shallow space set the limits.
Bifold and sliding doors
The shelf depth has to let the doors close in front of it, so a laundry closet gets a narrower shelf than an open room.
Side walls of the closet
Narrow shelves on the short walls at each end hold bottles that do not fit on the main shelf.
Room shapes
Laundry room layouts by the shape of the room
Where the machines sit and where the doors are decide which walls are left for shelving.
A galley laundry room
With the machines along one side, the opposite wall can take shelves, kept shallow enough to leave a clear aisle for carrying a basket.
A walk-through laundry room
A room with a door at each end, such as one between the garage and the kitchen, keeps both doorways clear and puts the shelving on the machine wall.
An L-shaped room
Shelving can turn the corner above a counter, so supplies sit over the machines and folded clothes over the counter.
A hallway alcove
One shelf across the full width, with a short rail at one end if the alcove is deep enough to hang clothes without blocking the hall.
Utility rooms
Utility and storage room shelving
A utility room holds a water heater, an air handler or an electrical panel that someone will need to reach later. Shelving goes on the walls the equipment does not need.
Fronts kept open
Shelves are placed so the panel door opens, the air filter slides out and the water heater can be reached from the front.
Heavy things low
Paint, tool cases and bulk supplies sit on the lower shelves, with lighter bins up high.
Deeper shelves for bins
Storage bins and boxes take deeper shelves than cleaning bottles do, so one room can have two depths.
A room used only for storage
A spare room kept for storage can get shelving on every wall, with a clear path left down the middle.
When the laundry room is also the back entry
A laundry room that doubles as the way in from the carport or the yard has more jobs to do. A rod for jackets, a low shelf for shoes and a higher shelf for bags can share the wall with the laundry shelving, as long as the path to the door stays clear.
A laundry room that also works as a pantry can take pantry shelving on a separate wall, spaced for cans and boxes and kept away from the detergent. One that holds pet food can give it a low shelf by the door, with the bowls and leashes kept together where they are used.
