How to organise a laundry storage cupboard

Who doesn't love a good sneak peek into other people's storage spaces?! I know that some of my most pinned Pinterest images are those that show sneaky storage solutions, or clever ideas for 'adding' space in a tight spot. 

Luckily for us, in our new laundry, storage space is not an issue - with a huge cupboard, we have plenty of room for all the laundry essentials, plus some added extras from other rooms! In the last episode of The Organised You TV, I revealed the new laundry room that we created ourselves as part of our home renovation. And in the second part of this reveal, I'm showing you inside our laundry storage cupboard.

Revealed: a tour of our terrific new laundry room

I'm excited today to finally be giving you a tour of our new laundry room - it's been a long time coming! After we 'completed' our home renovation last year, we were left with 100s of little (and many not so little!) jobs to complete. One of those included the build of our entire laundry. A rather daunting task to say the least!

However, we'd been planning this new space for a long time, and knew exactly what we wanted - you may remember this post where I outlined my wish list of features and items I hoped to include. A detailed plan always makes any big project easier to dive into!

How to get through your laundry quickly and easily

Do you dread doing laundry? 

Do you feel overwhelmed or stressed about the baskets piled high with dirty washing, or the amount of sorting and folding you have to get through on a weekly basis?

Do you feel like you're tackling this chore solo, and feel frustrated that the entire process lies solely on your shoulders?

Laundry is one of those household chores that feels like there's never a real end to, as there always seems to be one of the stages needing your attention - whether it's the pre-sorting, the washing, hanging out the clothes, sorting, folding, ironing, putting away.... And if you let it get out of hand, it can take a huge amount of time and effort to get back on top of it!

Do you have any home projects you're planning on carrying out over the next few months? Whether it's an entire room or home makeover, a kitchen re-organisation, clearing out the garage, or sorting through the mess in a linen closet, it's always best to tackle any project with a detailed plan. Today I'm sharing our new laundry design, along with a free project planner for you to use if you've got an upcoming venture of your own. Here's to project planning.... and wishing and dreaming!

Whether we like it or not, a lot of time is spent in the laundry, be it sorting, washing, hanging, folding, ironing.... There are always laundry-related tasks that need to be completed, especially if you have a large family. So, in my opinion, every effort should be made to create an organised, functional and efficient space, as well as one that looks nice so you enjoy spending time in there (well, as much as one can enjoy spending time doing laundry!). Due to our current home renovation, we will need to redo our laundry room in the very near future. We weren't quite prepared for having to tackle this project so soon, so we've been doing lots of research and taking note of clever storage and organisation ideas to incorporate into our new space. Today I'm sharing some of the creative laundry ideas I've come across, as well as a free project planner to get you thinking about your wish-list if you've got a project of your own in the works.
