I never thought that I would take such pride in my laundry room, but the clean and tidy space is a joy to see every day. Of course, that’s partly because of the wall cabinets that we created for it! I love to recycle, so we decided to use some old pallets to construct this piece of furniture. It looks amazing and offers lots of storage space for cleaning products. We added an extra shelf when it was finished, too, and there’s even a handy place on this cabinet where you can hang brooms or mops. If you have a small laundry room and are looking for ways to maximize the space, I highly recommend creating some wall cabinets like ours.
Wall cabinets in laundry rooms offer both form and function and help the space to look as good as it works.
Wall cabinets in laundry rooms offer both form and function, helping the space to look as good as it works. They are especially useful for storing cleaning products that you use frequently.
Wall cabinets can be used to store clean clothes while they are still wet, preventing them from getting damaged by exposure to the air or taking up floor space in your home. They also make it easier for you to find what you need without having to dig through piles of laundry or move items around from place to place when washing them again (and again).
We like to use recycled materials for projects like this, and pallets are perfect for this type of cabinet.
It’s easy to find pallets in your area, and they’re a great way to reduce waste. You can use them to build these cabinets, or many other things!
You may not have the right tools for this job. A hammer, saw and nails are all you need for this project—but if you’d like some help, check out our guide on how to build a wall cabinet here.
Our pallet kitchen project will give you some more ideas about how to work with pallets.
You can use pallet wood to build a kitchen island. You can also use it to make a kitchen table, or even a combination of the two. Here’s how:
- Get some pallets—preferably ones with no nails or metal brackets on them (you need those for this project). Make sure the boards are thick enough for your purposes (2″ x 8″ should be fine). Also, look for boards that aren’t too warped or splintery; if they’re not usable now, they will be after you cut them into smaller pieces.
- Arrange the boards in an L shape so that one side is longer than the other by about 12″. Also arrange them so there are no gaps between any boards where insects might get in and out of your home over time without being seen by anyone else who lives there now or will live there later on down around four weeks from now when we all die due to global warming caused by humans destroying forests instead of being smart enough NOT TO BUILD AN ENTIRE CITY IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAINFOREST.
If you want to create a strong storage unit, build a frame out of wood that is suitable for outdoor use.
To create a sturdy frame, use cedar or redwood. These woods have the best durability in all climates and can be used for indoor and outdoor projects. For this project, you will need the following materials:
- Wood glue
- Wood screws at least 2 inches long that are suitable for outdoor use (examples include stainless steel or brass)
- Drill bit of similar size to hold your screws well
- Ruler or tape measure
To build your frame, follow these steps:
This particular build uses the style of pallet where the boards run horizontally, but you could also use another style if you prefer.
The best kind of pallet wood to use for this type of cabinet is one that has strong and sturdy boards running horizontally. You can also use another style if you prefer, but it’s important that the slats are not too wide or too thin.
You may be able to choose between a pallet with one or two horizontal boards, or one or two vertical boards. In either case, select the board(s) that are most sturdy and least likely to break apart during the building process. For example, if there are two horizontal slats on your chosen pallet (as shown above), then select those that are closest together so they don’t need much fastening together when building.
If your chosen pallet has both types (vertical/horizontal), then try using just one type instead of both—this will make things easier later on as well.
Decide on the width of your cabinet, but we recommend making it shorter than your wall so that it doesn’t look out of proportion.
There are a few factors to consider before you build the cabinet. First, the cabinet needs to be at least 12 inches deep and 24 inches wide. Second, we recommend making your wall cabinets shorter than your walls so that they do not look out of proportion with the rest of the room. Finally, we recommend making your wall cabinets at least 24 inches tall and 36 inches tall if possible – this will give you more storage space.

This will enable you to store cleaning products that are not in use, which helps keep the room clean and organized. It will also provide the space for storing cleaning products that you have already used or plan on using in the future, preventing trips back and forth from the laundry room when it’s time to clean again – just grab what you need from your wall cabinet.
You can make the frame any height that suits you, but make sure that there is enough space between each shelf for you to store items easily.

- Measure the depth of your cabinet and add 12 inches. This will be the minimum depth of your cabinet.
Add an extra shelf if necessary when the cabinet is ready to hang on the wall.
If the cabinet is ready to hang on the wall, add an extra shelf if necessary. Add extra shelves if you need more space, more storage or more room. Add extra shelves if you need more storage space in your laundry room.
Add two horizontal pieces at either side of the middle shelf, which is ideal for hanging mops or brooms from.
Each piece of wood needs to be drilled at the ends and in the middle, so you’ll need a drill. To make holes in the wood, you can use:
- A hammer
- A saw
- A screwdriver
Once it’s complete, this cabinet offers lots of options for storing cleaning products neatly behind closed doors.
A great way to save space in a laundry room is by using wall cabinets. This can be especially effective if you don’t want to install a free-standing cabinet in your laundry room, but still need extra storage.
One example of this would be if you want to store cleaning supplies and products like detergent or fabric softener. You can build cabinets that hang on the wall and close off the items inside so they don’t get damaged or dirty from being stored on open shelving.
Conclusion
There’s no doubt that this project takes time and requires a lot of work. However, the end result is a beautiful cabinet with storage space for all your laundry room items. You can maximize the available space in your laundry room by building shelves above and below eye level, so that there is plenty of room to store everything easily without wasting any more space than necessary. We hope you enjoy creating this project and using it as much as we do.
