Utility room cabinets are used when washing clothes as well as storing seasonal items. They are important to the organization of the utility room. Laundry soap, fabric softeners, pet food, and light bulbs are just a few of the items we store in utility room cabinets.

Above the washer and dryer should be a pair of upper cabinet’s 1′ deep and mounted high enough so the lid of the washer doesn’t hit them when opened. Standard washer and dryers are 30″ wide so the upper cabinets should also be this wide. Often two 30″cabinets side by side make up the utility room upper cabinets, with the one over the washer having larger spacing between shelves to accommodate the larger bottles of detergent.

An additional sink cabinet included in the utility room provides a good place to wash up. This sink is deeper than normal allowing larger items to be washed by hand. The room sink is ideal for washing pet dishes and greasy hands.

A folding table can be added to the utility room creating more workspace. This can be as simple as a top with nothing below to a set of drawers below for more storage. The folding table is perfect for the homemaker in that it allows more organization and workspace.

A hamper cabinet in the room provides even more convenience for the homemaker. This can be a single unit that accommodates everyone’s clothes or separate units for different colored clothing. These are often mounted on drawer slides with a door attached to the front.

Organization and plenty of workspace is essential to the happiness of any homemaker. Contact your local cabinetmaker for ideas when designing your room cabinets. Continue reading →
