Most laundry rooms are catch-all spaces that we really don't want to see. Redoing the laundry room not only takes half the chore of washing clothes away but can reunite you with some items you forgot you had. Redoing the laundry room can be expensive, but a functional and beautiful laundry room can be yours for cheap.

Below are some ideas for decorating the laundry room on a budget.

CONTAINERS

Use containers to hold necessary items, such as pods, detergents, bleach, dryer sheets, and stain removers. Not only will these items be more accessible, but they're better looking than the laundry room packages that you buy at the store. This small action adds a lot to the laundry room.

TRASHCANS

No matter how many times you tell your family to clean out their pockets they always seem to do so. A nice trashcan will come in handy. Just don't throw anything of value. Keep another small container for valuables.

CARTS/SHELVES

If you don't have a finished laundry room you may have to buy a storage unit to hold necessary items. This is a lot better than using the top of the dryer and it looks better too. If you are lucky enough to have a laundry room that is finished try using shelves for these items. Both can be purchased at any discount store.

BASKETS

Use baskets to organize all of the items that aren't laundry related and put them on the shelves or storage unit.

RUG

Not only are most laundry room floors hard but they are cold. give this area a small rug to warm things up.

BUTCHER BLOCK

A butcher block looks good and it shows you really care about your laundry room. A search on the internet should give you places with the Blocks can be found.

TALL CABINETS

Tall cabinets can be brought at any discount store. It's a great way to put away items such as brooms and vacuum cleaners.

PEEL AND STICK WALLPAPER AND FLOORS

Cover ugly floors or/and walls with peel and stick wallpaper and floors.

These inexpensive items will help you decorate your laundry room on a budget.
