How can I optimise this laundry space?

Laundry space.

Hi Everyone,

This is my laundry. I live in an apartment and wish to add some shelving or storage, Ive got an idea of what would work. 

I stumbled across these which have served as good inspiration, however they are much bigger than required.

I am going to be renting this apartment out in the future so it it needs to be simple. I like the idea of the hang tracks so you can rearrange, if for instance someone also had a dryer they wanted to stack in there. Would be keen for just some baskets or shelves.

Recommendations would be super helpful for this newbie. 

Thanks

Hi @jayc,

@EricL will be back on the site after the weekend. I trust he'll be keen to provide his thoughts then.

Oh wow, yeah this does look like a good idea as well. Ultimately I was thinking a temporary bench would be a good solution. I suppose another catch to this project is that it is an apartment and I don't have a garage with space to bang out a bench or cut wood etc. Currently converting our van into a sleeper and doing that out of apartments has been an absolute drag haha. 

Also @Remarka6le , your bench looks awesome!!

Cheers @jayc , the bench was probably my favourite (and easiest) part of the build haha. 

You can always purchase what you need at your local bunnings and ask a member to cut it to size for you? We've certainly done that for a number of projects.

Hi @jayc 

I suppose it depends on what you'll use the basket for. I'm more for storage and long shelves as it is always a great way for putting stuff away. Unless you're constantly reaching for a particular item that needs to be protected from tipping then a drawer would be ideal. I suggest imagining the items that are going on those shelves and how they will be used during laundry days.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
