Want to update your laundry room, but don’t want to spend a lot of money? And don’t want to do a lot of work? I have the perfect DIY hack for you! This hack is perfect for small laundry rooms that are just in a closet. Near the end, I also provide ideas and links for laundry room decor!

I started out with a pretty boring laundry room (see image below)….

And I was able to turn it into something not so shabby (see image below) and without spending a lot of money!

Steps for Updating Your Laundry Room!

First, I recommend checking out my YouTube video for how I did this update because I explain it in more depth! And of course, subscribe to my YouTube channel!

Otherwise, here is a quick overview of how I did it! Scroll further down to see the before and after comparison!

1. First, take down shelves
2. Then place wood peel-and-stick wallpaper on outdated shelves to give them a wood look (or you can try Retique It Liquid Wood with the Barnwood stain, like I did for my pantry door!)
   • If you don’t know how to do peel & stick wallpaper then check out this post or check out my YouTube video that walks through it!
3. Before you put the shelves back, put up peel-and-stick wallpaper on the walls of your laundry room
4. Then add drawers if you want additional storage (optional) — they just screw into the bottom of the shelf
5. Afterwards, you can also add an additional shelf right above the washer and dryer (I used a board from my old bookcase; the same bookcase I made the bed frame from)
6. Additionally, I spray painted the iron holder that was there black (it used to be white and I felt like it didn’t go with the rest of the look)
7. Then I reupholstered my ironing board — I know this sounds silly, but my ironing board was an ugly blue color. And If it was going to be visible, I wanted it to be pretty
8. Afterwards, I made handmade baskets for cleaning supplies (I will write a post about how I did this soon, so stay tuned!)
9. Finally, I placed my laundry room decor
   • You can look at the links I put in the supplies section above or go to my recommended products page to see what I used for my laundry room!
   • Otherwise, I linked my laundry room Pinterest board below if you want to get more inspiration (keep scrolling!)
