How to Optimize Your Laundry Room: Make a DIY Pedestal

Since you have an amazing backsplash for your utility room, why not add a little more extra storage space, sprinkled with elegance? We’re not complaining here!

If you like pedestals, but not the price tag—this DIY project is an absolute must as it serves multifunctional purposes. Your end result will be a gorgeous wooden pedestal to display your clothes dryer and washing machine; not to mention, the pedestal has an open bottom so you can place baskets underneath to separate your laundry. Let’s make life a bit easier, shall we? If you want to take it one step further, you can label the baskets, or on the pedestal itself to keep your laundry room optimized and organized. Blogger Ana White provides a step-by-step instruction guide that is even available in a pdf format—pictures included. The great thing about this DIY project? You are able to customize your pedestal to your needs—build the legs how high or low you would like, or expand your platform for added security. Though, you will need to make a quick trip to your home improvement store for the materials needed. Making your very own DIY pedestal is the perfect weekend project for any busy person who doesn’t have time to sort his or her laundry, or simply likes the pedestal-look. You can't go wrong with that.
