Designing the Right Laundry Cabinets
There are numerous factors you need to consider when designing the perfect laundry cabinets. It is important to carefully consider the material for your laundry cabinets as laundry deals with harsh chemicals and there is usually high moisture in laundry rooms. It is equally significant to think about functionality, placement, and your storage needs.
Functionality
Ask yourself how you plan to utilize your laundry space. Aside from doing laundry, your laundry space can be used to store dirty clothes, fold and iron new clothes, and for air-drying wet clothes.
If you plan on storing dirty clothes in your laundry room, consider incorporating a hamper cabinet into your custom design. You can take it a step further and have different hamper cabinets for easy sorting. If you intend on using your laundry space to fold and iron fresh laundry, add a built-in ironing board into your design.
Placement
The placement of your laundry cabinet is also important when creating a custom design. If you have a designated laundry room, you don’t need to worry as much about it fitting in with the rest of your space. If you are adding your laundry room to a walk-in closet or mudroom, you need to consider the style of the entire space.
Storage Needs
Your storage needs depend on factors such as your family size, and the amount of laundry supplies you use. Laundry essentials include bleaches, detergents, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets. If you want to store clothing, linens, and additional cleaning supplies in your laundry space, you will require more storage space.
The most common laundry storage solutions include open shelves for storing detergents as well as cabinets and drawers for other cleaning supplies. You can also add hooks or valet rods for drying wet clothes.
Custom Design Options
There are countless available design options when it comes to creating custom laundry cabinets. Here are a few design ideas to consider.
Freestanding Laundry Cabinets
Custom freestanding laundry cabinets are an economical choice and can be easily updated compared to built-in cabinets. They are usually larger in size, i.e., they offer tons of additional storage space.
Wall-Mounted Laundry Cabinets
Wall-mounted cabinets go up against your laundry room wall and can be used to conceal your washer and dryer to give your space a clean look. They are a great space maximizing solution as they are built-in to your laundry space.
Under-Counter Cabinets
An under-counter laundry cabinet is installed under the laundry sink or countertop as additional storage space. Popular under-counter cabinets include wood cabinets, stainless steel cabinets, and glass-fronted cabinets.

Choosing the Right Material
Solid hardwood doors in maple, oak, or cherry are commonly used for stained doors where the wood grain’s natural beauty is enhanced and protected by a professionally applied finish. Wood doors are strong and durable, and scratches or dents can be repaired with sanding and a coat of matching stain.
Stained wood doors are a great choice for homeowners wanting classic-looking cabinetry that shows off both the beauty and the sturdiness of hardwood doors.
MDF or Medium Density Fiberboard is a manufactured wood product that combines wood fibers with wax and resin. MDF is denser than hardwood and offers a much smoother finish with no graining. This makes MDF an ideal material for making painted cabinet doors. Due to its density and consistent structure, MDF can be machined using high-speed CNC cutting tools. These tools help create a variety of different 3-D profiles which are perfect for cabinet doors.
MDF, as a material, is not waterproof. However, by painting its surface, MDF becomes highly water-resistant which makes it ideal for high humidity places like bathrooms or kitchens. It’s also a favorite for cottages as its durability helps keep it intact during the hot and humid summers.
Acrylic is a non-toxic finish that gives a perfectly smooth texture and a high-gloss appearance to your space. Acrylic doors are made by applying sheets of acrylic over medium-density fiberboard (MDF), covering it with a protective layer, and sealing at the edges.
This high-quality synthetic material comes in a perfect mirror-like finish that’s shatter and chip resistant. Available in a wide range of colors, acrylic finish gives a resplendent appearance to your home.
Thermofoil cabinets are cost-effective, easy to care for, and easy to maintain. They are available in a wide range of colors and patterns. Thermofoil cabinets are made using a flexible vinyl material that is applied by heating the vinyl and molding it over medium-density fiberboard (MDF).
Thermofoil cabinets are prized as ideal for kitchen or bathroom cabinets because of their superior moisture resistance. Their laminate surface is stain-resistant and easy to clean. The laminate also ensures the cabinet is resistant to chips and cracks, even in high humidity environments.
