Add a countertop.

A butcher-block slab morphs the top of your machines into usable workspace. Plus, pull the cute curtains, and your utility room is suddenly just cozy nook. It's a clever trick for holiday party season — washing machines aren't exactly festive.

Flip Out Drying Rack

Home With Baxter

3 of 10

Try tilt-out drying racks.

If a standalone version is out of the question (this blogger's laundry room is in her bathroom), line the walls with racks instead. Hinges help them tuck neatly out of the way when you're done.

Laundry Shelf

Liz Marie

4 of 10

Float a shelf over the machines.

Much like a sofa table can offer a much-needed spot to rest your coffee, this handy ledge turns the top of your machines into storage – without requiring much extra room at all.

Go up (up, up!).

First of all, this might be the loveliest garage laundry space we've ever seen. But it also reminds us to hang shelves and cabinets as high as they will go — no vertical space left behind.

Recessed Ironing Board

Apartment Therapy

8 of 10

Squeeze an ironing board in the wall.

Make extra space magically appear by adding a hidden closet in-between wall studs. This one holds a recessed ironing board, so it can alway stow completely (and we mean completely) out of the way.

Shelf with Bar

Craftaholics Anonymous

Choose shelves with hooks and rods.

Souped-up shelves work much harder than their sleek floating cousins. This set has hooks (great for holding lingerie bags as you stuff them) and a rod that makes the teeny space between the machines available for hanging shirts as you press them.
