Custom Laundry Room Cabinetry: Turning a Chore Space Into a Showpiece

February 8, 2026 2 min read

How custom laundry room cabinetry transforms a chore space - folding counters, hamper systems, drying racks, and design options that make laundry day better.

The laundry room is one of the most-used rooms in your home, yet it's often the most neglected in terms of design. Custom cabinetry transforms a cramped, cluttered laundry room into an organized, efficient space that you might actually enjoy spending time in.

Why Invest in Laundry Room Cabinetry?

Most laundry rooms have awkward dimensions - narrow footprints, off-centre hookups, and limited wall space. Stock cabinets rarely fit these spaces well, leaving gaps, wasted space, and a cobbled-together look. Custom cabinetry is built to your exact dimensions, making every inch work for you.

Must-Have Features

A folding counter over the washer and dryer is the single most impactful upgrade. This continuous surface provides space to fold, sort, and stage laundry. We build these counters with waterproof finishes and slightly raised edges at the back to prevent items from falling behind machines.

Other popular features include upper cabinets for detergents and supplies, a drying rack that folds down from the wall or pulls out from a cabinet, a pull-out ironing board, built-in hamper systems (ideally with removable canvas bags), a hanging bar for air-drying delicates, and a small sink for hand-washing and stain treatment.

Laundry rooms pair naturally with mudroom storage, especially in homes where both spaces share a hallway or entryway. Designing them together ensures consistent finishes and hardware throughout. We finish all laundry cabinetry with moisture-resistant catalyzed lacquer in any colour from Benjamin Moore, and use Blum soft-close hardware rated for daily household use.

Design & Finish Options

Laundry rooms don't have to be boring. Many of our clients choose the same door style and finish as their kitchen to create a cohesive look throughout the home. Others use the laundry room as an opportunity to have fun with colour - a cheerful blue, green, or warm terracotta that makes the space feel special.

Pricing

Custom laundry room cabinetry typically costs $4,000-$12,000 depending on the scope. A basic upper and lower cabinet run with a folding counter starts around $4,000-$6,000. A full-room design with floor-to-ceiling storage, hamper systems, and specialty features reaches $8,000-$12,000+.
