IKEA’s Sektion Cabinets for your Laundry Area

Storage and organization for your laundry room

You’re looking to spruce up your home and maybe don’t have the energy, time or budget for a full kitchen or bath project. There are choices. IKEA laundry rooms will add a lot of efficiency (and yes, style!), to your home. A well-done laundry room (or any space for a wardrobe) is like the perfect pair of earrings or cuff links to complete an outfit. It completes the design theme you’ve chosen and complements your lifestyle.

“There are many available styles in IKEA cabinets that are unique and might ultimately reflect the design theme of your home. Every customer has their own unique needs and an IKEA laundry room provides a lot of options with storage and organization. There’s really more than meets the eye!” says IKD designer Daniel.

First-time IKEA customers and even experienced DYERs may be glad to hear that you can use the same IKEA SEKTION kitchen cabinets in your laundry room that you are using for your kitchen, for example. Very adaptable. Bathroom wardrobe areas can use the IKEA GODMORGON cabinets. Imagine, building in extra storage options by adding practical elements such as a place to hang towels and shirts; storage for linens; and a simple place to fold towels instead of, let’s say, folding while hunched over on the couch. Maybe you even want a space to wash Fido after the pup has had some fun in the yard. It can be practical place and still add a bit of fun at the same time.

However it’s also important to know which IKEA products can be used in a ‘wet room’,  such as the IKEA laundry room. The reason is using the wrong product in a bathroom, a high moisture area can void the IKEA product warranty. This is why collaborating with IKD will help as we guide you through the process.

Remember: An IKEA laundry room is an affordable option and will add a lot of value to your home. It just takes working with the right professionals to make it happen.

Let’s take a look!

How to Approach IKEA Laundry Rooms

The first thing to do is make the process simpler for yourself. That means using IKEA design specialists (ahem) for your laundry room design.

Our design team applies the same expertise to laundry rooms that we do with IKEA kitchen design. Our design process includes an online questionnaire for you to fill out and provide examples of spaces you love from online searches of IKD’s past design projects. This tells us so what you want from IKEA and your laundry room.

Then we ask you to scribble your room measurements and upload photos of your space for us to review. Once we’ve received these, we will then provide a draft and give you an opportunity to modify the Concept Design.

Finally, we provide a design package with full-color renderings, elevation views, and an IKEA materials list with pricing, including extra items that are needed and options for custom cabinet doors, if desired.

We’ll even consider space in your laundry room for your furry family members if needed – including a sleeping area and washing and grooming area. Every member of the family needs to look their best — including the furry ones!

Maximizing Storage with IKEA Laundry Cupboards

Couples, bachelors and larger families have one thing in common: It’s really hard to get ahead of the laundry. That means storage.

“IKEA laundry cupboards are ideal solutions for keeping your laundry room organized and tidy while also preventing clutter,” says IKD designer Merari.

If you have a sleek-looking washer and dryer combo consider the GODMORGON High cabinet, brown stained ash effect. Not only can you have its door mounted to open from the left or the right, but it will provide ample storage for towels, soaps and detergents. Or try a color-coordinated design using IKEA SEKTION for your laundry room. These include a pull-out for trash or a corner cabinet with carousel to maximize space and storage.

To create a unique two-toned color scheme, consider using black-stained IKEA LERHYTTAN base cabinets with white IKEA AXSTAD door style for the upper cabinetry. Or perhaps your design calls for a custom look. Consider the super matte shaker light gray door style from Semihandmade as another option to bump up the style in your laundry room.

Using Shelves and IKEA Laundry Room Accessories

Of course, just like with other rooms in the home, size matters.

“Shelving can add a lot to any size laundry room. Try the black-brown IKEA PAX or the white IKEA IDANÄS Wardrobe ENHET cabinets to store out-of-season clothing,” says Daniel.

For smaller spaces, keeping things tidy and maximizing counter space is key. If this sounds like you then think of SEKTION pull-outs, corner cabinets and high cabinets to provide storage for detergent, laundry, etc. Or try an IKEA MULIG clothes bar over your countertops to hang clothes while you fold or the IKEA ALGOT BOAXEL wall upright/shelves/drying rack system for convenient and flexible accessory options.

You can also find plenty of IKEA accessories to put the finishing touches on the laundry room, such as the IKEA BRANÄS laundry basket, the IKEA PLUGGIS recycling bin, and the IKEA DANKA ironing board. And of course don’t forget lighting. A wall lamp will illuminate shelving or a nearby utility sink in the laundry room to make every task lighter and brighter!

Remember, whether you need your IKEA laundry room to be serviceable, or to make a statement, the options are really endless. Our last recommendation is to begin your IKD design now so that you can start to enjoy the many benefits of a new space that fits the needs of your home — and your budget. Let’s get started!
