Hello,
I just purchased my first home! My laundry room is located right when you walk in through the garage door, which will be the main entry door. I want to design a “drop zone” area where my family can put our shoes, bags, etc and it keeps them put away and out of sight. However, I have a problem where I can’t really imagine how things would look. I need to move the actual furniture to know what it would look like. I have a few ideas but I’d love to hear any thoughts or suggestions.
It’s a closet laundry room with an accordion door, which we want to keep. It matches the house’s 1980 contemporary design. To the left, behind the accordion door in the photo, is our HVAC unit so not much we can do there. As you can see, the laundry room is located across from the kitchen as well. There is a narrow hallway (entry walkway) separating them. We can’t do any major construction like knocking a wall out at this time, but we can definitely build an insert into the closet.
The washer/dryer in the photo are not mine. We have front loaders that I was thinking I could stack (maybe next to the HVAC), and then have cubbies or something put to the right of the stacked washer/dryer.
I love those closets that people turn into a built-in halltree, basically, with a bench to put on your shoes (but it opens up for storage). However, I realized this might not be functional here because I still need a small area to put the laundry detergents. Also, I wasn’t sure how to navigate it being a corner; how to utilize that space while still making everything look nice.
I considered the need for a spot for the vacuum, broom and stepladder too but I think I will make a spot in the garage for that.
TLDR I want to make a drop zone for shoes/bags inside this laundry closet
