| Hi is the sink free staning or in a cabinet. If it were free standing and there were enough room under if for a bamboo type hamper with a cotton lining I would do that. Like maybe two box type hampers. If the sink is in a cabinet then I would stack the washer and dryer, create a free standing table in between the sink and the washer and dryer on the far wall. That way you have storage for the dirty clothes underneath, yet a clean work surface to say, iron, fold, or pre treat the dirty clothes! Warren |

| I'm bad at drawings but here's how I would do it. The shelves on the left side attached underneath the counter top are for holding tide bottles, powder, fabric softener, irons or whatever else you may have! |

| I like the idea with the counter! Alternatively, you might also consider a self-made pedestal (or have someone make it) to store laundry baskets. Like in the example video. |

| Also where the hampers are I'd attach some sort of fabric facing to hide the hampers. Maybe like Velcro along the top of the fabric so you can just "tear" fabric panels off or out of the way to get to he hampers. Maybe a fabric that matches the colors of the room? |

| Kassi-I'm having issues with my design program, so I can't do a custom layout for you, but I did one for another GW member a while back that would give you some ideas on maximizing the space you have. The main part of the utility/laundry room dimensions were similar to yours @ 7x10. Yours would be an 'L' shape using the back wall and the left wall in the layouts/pics in the linked thread. Hope this helps! |
