Just a little helpful product.... I have this in my tiny laundry room and it is a lifesaver. Takes up no space because it folds up (and looks cute on the wall when not in use) Here is a link that might be useful: Ballard Designs beadboard drying rack

Our laundry room is currently drawn in at 8'1.5" x 14'. We would like to have this double as a mud room with cubbies right as you walk into the room. Please help with layout and what organizational items would be a good flow for the room. I like to separate my laundry into 6 different sorting options. This is new construction and only in drawing phase so the entire room is open for change. Thanks

RL thank you so much for your wonderful ideas and taking time to photoshop some ideas. I never thought of 3 panel print and that gave me a thought. I enjoy quilting for a hobby and I must have some fabric to “frame out” like your pix. Hmmm. the white box is a cover to gain access to water pipes behind wall. So as long as I can move the items, we are good to go.

A benefit of un-stacking the washer and dryer is that it gives you a convenient spot to sort and fold clothes, on top of the appliances. As you have it now, I don't see that you have a good place for that. It's nice not to have to do it bending down to the floor. Some good ideas here. This one looks so much like your arrangement with the window and width of the room, although if it were me I wouldn't put use those metallic boxes, but rather leave the full depth for laundry sorting etc. A room like this can be a bit more fun and less serious than a living room or kitchen e.g. if not wallpaper then a fun colour for the walls or cabinets. I love the one with the pale blue cabinets in the link above. I see you don't have a laundry tub in that room. Depending on your family's needs, it might be a good addition for muddy/messy things coming into your house. Or even a lower-placed slop sink or dog washing station. This one is just a simple shower pan. A hanging bar can go over either a high or low sink, for dripping wet things. Just throwing out ideas here. Depending on how much storage you add, the cost of storage cabinets can add up. It can even get pricey to buy fancy storage boxes for open shelving. Resale places like ReStore are one option, and paint them to your liking. Since this is not going into your kitchen you don't need to be that fussy about the quality of the paint finish. Or use open storage and put a short cafe-style curtain across each shelf to hide the contents.
