Laundry Rooms
Wall cabinets over the machines, a tall pantry beside them and a hanging rail for what comes out damp.
How we plan it
Where we start.
Laundry is the room where matte white earns its place: low sheen, wipeable, and it never shows the fine lint that settles on a gloss door. Bridge cabinets span the machines; a tall unit takes the ironing board.

Laundry Rooms
How this room is decided.
A laundry wall has to survive damp air, detergent and the occasional knock, which is why matte white earns its place here: low sheen, wipeable, and it never shows the fine lint that settles on a gloss door. The cabinet bodies are the same cabinet-grade melamine on the same 32 mm pin pattern as a closet run — the difference is what the room asks them to do.
The clearance most laundry layouts get wrong is the machine door. A front-loader needs its door arc clear before a counter goes over the pair, and a bridge cabinet between the uppers has to clear the tallest bottle you actually keep on the counter, not the shortest. We measure both at the field measure rather than assuming a standard.
The pieces that make the room work are unglamorous: a tall utility unit that swallows the ironing board and the vacuum, a hanging rail for what comes out damp, and adjustable shelving above so the spacing changes when the bottles do. Installed, a laundry wall typically runs $1,800–$5,000 — the same $200–$600 per linear foot band as closet work.
What we build in a laundry room
- Bridge cabinet over the machines — Spans the pair with a counter above, sized to the machine door arc.
- Tall utility unit — Full-height storage for the ironing board, vacuum and bulk supplies.
- Hanging rail for damp items — A short rod beside the machines so nothing dries over a door.
- Adjustable shelving above the counter — 32 mm pin pattern — spacing moves when the bottles change.

About laundry rooms.
Can you put a counter over front-loading machines?
Yes, once the door arc is measured. The counter height is set from the machine and its open door, not from a standard cabinet height, so the doors still clear fully after installation.
What are the best cabinets for a laundry room?
Cabinet-grade melamine with a matte finish. It takes damp air and detergent better than a painted wood face and does not show the fine lint that settles on gloss.
Do laundry cabinets use the same finishes as closet cabinets?
They can — the same six finishes, the same 84-inch bodies and the same 32 mm pin pattern build both, so a whole-house specification stays consistent.
What does a laundry room wall cost installed?
Typically $1,800–$5,000 installed, driven by linear feet and whether the run includes a counter over the machines and a tall utility unit.
What are the best laundry room storage ideas for small spaces?
Get everything off the floor and above the machines. A bridge cabinet spanning the washer and dryer, a counter over the pair wherever the door arc allows it, and a 15-inch tower at one end for baskets and detergent will empty a small laundry room without touching the plumbing. The counter height is set from the machine and its open door at the field measure, not from a standard cabinet height.
How can I effectively organize my laundry room?
Organize it around the path the laundry actually takes, not around the cabinets. The sequence is sort, wash, dry, fold, put away, and a room that works gives the first and the fourth step a surface of their own: baskets at the sorting end, and a counter or a fold-down flap for folding, because folding on top of the dryer is what makes clean laundry sit there for three days. Detergent belongs in a closed cabinet at chest height rather than on a shelf above the machines, where you reach across a hot dryer for it. Hanging is the piece people forget: a short rail, even 24 inches, lets shirts come straight out of the dryer onto a hanger and skips ironing entirely. Keep the floor clear — a floor-standing basket is the thing everyone trips over — and give the room one drop zone for the odd sock and the pocket change, or they colonize the counter.
