Laundry Storage Shelves: Practical Ideas for an Organised Laundry

Custom-Made Shelving for Laundry Storage

If standard shelving dimensions do not suit your laundry, our Custom Made Open Shelving – Made to Your Measurements allows you to select the finished width, height and depth for your space.

The unit is made from 16mm board and includes two adjustable internal shelves. Available finishes include Natural Oak, Charred Oak, Notaio Walnut, White and Black, giving you several options to coordinate with your existing laundry.

The available dimensions are:

• Width: 300mm to 1,200mm
• Height: 300mm to 1,200mm
• Depth: 200mm to 450mm
• Shelves: Two adjustable shelves

Before ordering, measure the intended location and check that the selected dimensions leave enough room for doors, appliances and everyday movement. The unit is made to order, so confirm your measurements and preferred finish before completing your purchase.

As with other board-based furniture, follow the care instructions and avoid allowing moisture to sit on the surface or edges.

Storage Baskets for Open Laundry Shelves

Open shelves can hold a variety of household essentials, but smaller items may look untidy when stored separately. Baskets provide a way to group similar items while keeping them accessible.

Our Black Mesh Storage Basket With Bamboo Handle – 4 Pack offers four matching baskets for organising suitable laundry accessories and household essentials. The mesh construction allows the contents to remain visible, while the bamboo handles provide a practical way to move the baskets when needed.

For a lighter colour scheme, consider our Large White Mesh Basket with Wooden Handles. Its white mesh finish and wooden handles offer another option for shelves, cupboards or benchtops.

Before choosing a basket, compare its measurements with the available shelf depth and height. Allow enough room to lift or slide the basket out without disturbing nearby items.

Covered Baskets for Towels and Linen

Laundry shelves often need to accommodate more than washing products. Spare towels, face washers and cleaning cloths can also take up space, particularly when there is limited cupboard storage.

Our Large Beige Linen Storage Basket with Mesh Lid is designed for storing items such as towels, clothing and other household essentials. The removable mesh lid provides a cover while allowing air to circulate through the mesh.

The basket's flexible sides offer a different storage format from a rigid shelf organiser. Check the product dimensions and consider the weight of the items you plan to store before placing it on a shelf.

For a more open arrangement, our Beige Linen Basket – Large Without Handle is another option for towels, linen and lightweight household items. This version does not include a lid.

Pull-Out Baskets for Laundry Cupboards

Not all laundry storage needs to be visible on open shelves. If your laundry has cupboards, a sliding basket can provide an alternative for storing selected essentials inside the cabinet.

Our Wire Storage Basket with Slides - White is available in different height and width options. Its pull-out design allows access to stored items without requiring you to reach as far into the cupboard.

Depending on the selected size and cabinet layout, it may suit laundry accessories, folded cloths or other household items. Check the product's listed dimensions and required internal cabinet measurements before ordering.

For deeper cabinet storage, our Chrome Wire Pull-Out Baskets are another option to consider. They are designed for a 400mm cabinet and are available in two basket heights. Review the product specifications to confirm which size suits your intended use.

Built-In Laundry Hampers for a Dedicated Storage Area

If your laundry has space for a built-in hamper, a pull-out design can provide a dedicated place for clothing and towels before washing. This can be useful when you prefer to keep the floor area clear of a separate laundry basket.

Our Pull-Out Laundry Hamper – 450mm Cabinet (48L) includes one removable 48L basket. The product is designed for a cabinet with a 450mm external width, subject to the required internal clearance.

The listed internal requirements are 412–418mm in width, at least 506mm in depth and at least 545mm in height. The product page offers options with or without 500mm soft-close runners, so check which configuration you need before purchasing.

If you want separate compartments, our Hamper Laundry Pull-Out – 600mm Cabinet (2 × 35L) provides two removable baskets for sorting different laundry loads.

These products are cabinet-mounted hamper systems rather than open shelving. Choose one if concealed laundry storage is part of your plan, and check the installation requirements against your existing cabinetry.
