Add easy to install shelves that are apartment-friendly. Next, add wicker or wire baskets to store laundry essentials such as dryer sheets, detergent, fabric softener etc and there you go!

2. Overhead Cabinets
Because a small laundry room is so limited in space, consider installing overhead cabinets. Even though, this might be considered a hefty project, the results can be stunning! Overhead cabinets can be a great way to store not only laundry essentials but other items as well and the best part is that they are hidden and out of sight!
3. Mini Closet Rod
Do you also need a space to hang delicates? Consider installing a mini rod in your space! Yes, this can be easily achieved with a small laundry room like this closet laundry room pictured here!
4.Overhead Shelf Decor
Who says there’s no room for laundry room decor? With a shelf like this, you can not only install laundry room essentials but also cute decor! Consider adding a candle, maybe a succulent, or cute and fun art to the space!

Love a wicker basket for a laundry room space! It just look so aesthetic and can be a gorgeous touch to a laundry room whether it be to store dryer sheets, towels, or bedding etc.
6.Floating Shelves
We love floating shelves over here! They just look so sleek, chic, and gorgeous. Add a gorgeous framed piece of artwork, a small plant, or candle! To make it a space to store laundry, add gorgeous glass or ceramic jars filled with detergent pods, fabric softeners, or dryer sheets or balls!
7. Accent Wallpaper
Transform your small laundry room into a beautiful space with peel and stick wallpaper! This can add a beautiful touch to a small room where you are a bit limited on decorating your space.
8. Matching Decor Pieces
Why not tie your small laundry room space together with matching decor pieces?

You can also do this with colors, patterns or other textures as you desire! This can be an easy way to elevate your smaller laundry room without much effort!
9. Statement Wall Decor
Again, we are not working with much wall space here so statement is the way to go! You can choose a larger hanging piece like from the image above or other framed art work as you desire.
10. Add Greenery
Florals and plants are always a good choice! If you have shelves, add a beautiful array of potted plants to this shelving space! You can also add hanging planters to your walls and add faux plants to it as well.
11. Add A Cabinet Unit
Okay, this is a teeny bit of an investment but something to think about if you have the time and money to spend! A cabinet with various drawers, shelves, and cabinetry can be just what you need in a small space! A cabinet like this can make small laundry room appear more organized, less cluttered, and can look so gorgeous! Obviously, there is so many different sizes and types so try to pick one that does not swallow up a space but can be a gorgeous compliment.
