Elfa laundry room storage for Samantha’s Compact Laundry Room

Creating a functional and efficient laundry room in a compact space requires thoughtful design. Using the Elfa storage system, I developed four tailored concepts for Samantha’s laundry room, balancing practicality, storage capacity, and moisture resistance. Each design maximises space while addressing durability concerns. Watch the full walkthrough below…


Elfa laundry room storage Concept Highlights

  1. Concept 1: Basket Storage and Standard Shelving
    • Incorporates two 300mm-deep gliding baskets, ideal for organising laundry essentials.
    • Features dual 600mm drying racks, though limited vertical space could impact usability.
    • Standard click-in melamine shelves are used, with the option to upgrade to moisture-resistant materials for added durability.
  2. Concept 2: Drying Efficiency with Fold-Down Racks
    • Adds a 900mm-wide drying rack, providing extra space for hanging clothes.
    • Includes a fold-down configuration for racks, making it easy to maintain usability in tight spaces.
  3. Concept 3: Expanding Width for Improved Storage
    • Suggests widening the layout slightly to accommodate both 45cm and 60cm bays, increasing basket volume and creating a more elegant design.
    • Balances shelf and basket arrangements for maximum storage flexibility.
  4. Concept 4: Optimised Vertical Space
    • Features 180mm baskets, allowing greater clearance for drying racks.
    • Creates practical separation between top and bottom racks, improving functionality and ease of use.

To ensure durability and resilience in Samantha’s laundry room, moisture resistance is key:

  • Moisture-Resistant Shelves: Using MDF with ABS edging provides robust, long-lasting storage solutions.
  • Metal Worktops: Elfa’s 600mm all-metal worktops offer superior protection against moisture damage, ideal for high-humidity environments.
  • Precise Measurements: Accompanying 2D drawings outline all key dimensions for accurate installation.
