Custom Laundry Room Built-Ins to Maximize Storage and Function

This project helped transform an underused laundry room into a more organized, functional space with custom cabinetry, a folding counter, open shelving, and smart storage built around the homeowner’s daily routine.

Sunset Oaks • Holly Springs, NC

Design & Planning

The client wanted to make their laundry room more functional with a better place to fold clothes, store household items, and reduce clutter. Early ideas included a floating counter, drying rack, and other storage options, but after seeing the space, the DIY Guys team developed a more complete built-in solution.

A key part of the design was working around the existing laundry chute. The team explored ways to preserve access while still maximizing cabinet space, including an optional built-in chute insert that could be added or removed later.


Scope of Work

✔ Created rendering to help the homeowner visualize the final design
✔ Built and installed custom laundry room cabinetry
✔ Added a functional folding counter/work surface
✔ Installed open shelving above the counter
✔ Planned storage around the existing laundry chute
✔ Added hardware and finish carpentry details
✔ Completed painting and final touch-ups


The Build

Once the design was approved, the DIY Guys team scheduled the project and completed the main installation over a three-day window. The build focused on creating practical storage, easy countertop access, and a cleaner finished look that felt built into the room rather than added on later.

After the main work was complete, the team returned for final paint and edge-banding details to make sure the finished product looked polished and complete.


The Result

A more functional laundry room with added storage, a dedicated folding surface, open shelving, and a cleaner built-in look. The finished space gave the homeowner a better everyday workflow while making better use of a room that previously lacked organization.

The Vision

Create a laundry room that works harder for the homeowners by adding practical storage, a folding counter, and a cleaner custom-built layout.

Results

A polished laundry room upgrade with custom cabinetry, open shelving, improved storage, and a functional counter space designed around how the family actually uses the room.
