Best IKEA Cabinet Hacks to Achieve a Trendy Laundry Room

When it comes to designing a functional yet fashionable laundry room, IKEA cabinets are a popular option among homeowners. Inexpensive and versatile, IKEA cabinets in laundry rooms can transform a utilitarian space into one that is organized, modern, and even luxurious—at the expense of a few creative adjustments.

We know at Forvana Kitchens that each laundry room is unique. From the little corner to the big utility room, the versatility of IKEA laundry room cabinets is what makes them gorgeous. But suppose you want a bit more beyond the plain style? That is when a few super smart hacks will come to the rescue. Below are some of the ingenious ways to bring your laundry room some upgrade using IKEA cabinets.

1. Paint a New Coat

While IKEA offers several finishes, painting your cabinets can give your laundry room a designer, custom look without the hefty price tag. Experiment with muted tones like sage green, navy blue, or pale greys to add depth and character. Use high-quality paint and primer designed for laminate or MDF surfaces to ensure the finish lasts.

2. Replace the Hardware

Swapping out run-of-the-mill IKEA knobs and handles for something fancier is quite possibly the easiest way to customize your cabinetry. Matte black pulls, brass knobs, or even a leather strap can completely change the look in your laundry room. The adjustment makes all the difference—especially in a room where all the details count.

3. Add Open Shelving

Merging closed IKEA cabinets with open shelving provides practical storage and an opportunity to style your laundry room. Open shelving can hold baskets, detergent containers, or design touches like plants and framed artwork. Use IKEA's own floating shelves or custom wood planks to coordinate with your cabinet choice.

4. Add a Wooden Countertop

Transform your laundry room IKEA cabinets into a functional folding station by adding on top a wood-look countertop or a butcher block. It heats the space up and offers an uninterrupted flat surface for clothes folding or the positioning of laundry equipment. Stain it to match current decor or you may leave it in its original state for rustic ambiance.

5. Take Advantage of Built-in Storage Solutions

Maximize your cabinet interiors with IKEA's smart accessories like pull-out laundry hampers, wire baskets, or drawer organizers. These keep your laundry supplies out of sight but within easy access—making the space more functional and uncluttered.

6. Get a Professional Installer

While IKEA is renowned for its do-it-yourself appeal, hiring experienced IKEA cabinet installers can ensure a precise fit and seamless operation. Especially in laundry rooms with troublesome plumbing or tight spaces, the professional touch can make or break the look and longevity of your cabinets.
