Laundry room ideas for your balcony design

A balcony laundry design will ensure that the process of washing and drying takes place efficiently in an area that gets a lot of sunlight by default. A laundry area design will likely include an overhead clothesline or a hanging carousel on which to dry clothes in the balcony area. This will ensure that your home is dispelled of moisture and humidity. With a washing machine in balcony in India in a designated laundry area such as this, doing laundry itself becomes an easier chore. Besides, the extra space for storage that a good laundry area design will open up can never hurt! 

Before we dive into talking about some helpful utility balcony ideas, let’s first take a peek at what you need to bear in mind while designing a laundry area in balcony. 

1. Balcony Laundry Design with Cabinet and Tiered Shelf

This neutral-toned utility balcony features a large washing machine flanked by an open cabinet in which to store laundry essentials, and a tiered ladder shelf for items of a more immediate usage. What is striking about this balcony laundry design is that the storage baskets kept in the open cabinet give off the impression of drawers, lending the area a clean and tidy look. The brown baskets go very well with the cream walls and can be used to house large (and likely ugly) objects related to the washing process such as detergents and other cleaning supplies.

2. Corner Laundry Area in Balcony Design

If your dry balcony is absolutely pressed for space, consider building a corner unit in the balcony near the windows. In this white-themed laundry area in balcony design, a small space for a washing machine is made in this built-in unit in white, with a shelf above the washing machine for some decorative plants. A few overhead cupboards and a cabinet besides the machine is sufficient storage space for essentials.

3. Minimalist Balcony Laundry Design

Appease the minimalist in you by investing in a laundry room in balcony design that keeps only the bare minimum. This dry balcony features only a low table to sort out the laundry, some laundry baskets, a shelf for just the detergents, and of course, the washing machine. A black clock on the shelf is both functional and ornamental. A minimalist rug leads to the window sill with just enough space for a seat with a view for when you have to wait for your laundry to finish.

4. Modular Laundry Area in Balcony

This laundry area design features modular racks and shelves to stock your laundry essentials and cleaning supplies, apart from a space designated for your washing machine. You can store your supplies in transparent boxes on the open and accessible shelves. This unit also features some built-in rods on which to put out some of your clothes to dry, while drying others out on hangers. Snugly fitting in any dry balcony area, this unit leaves out enough space in your balcony to house a few chairs and table.
