Custom Laundry Room Storage in Orlando
Fold It. Hang It. Put It Away Without Leaving the Room.
A laundry room is the only room in the house with one machine that shakes and another that makes heat. Everything built around them has to account for both, which is why a counter that looked fine in the showroom starts rattling the first week.
Custom Laundry Room Features for Orlando Homes
Built Around the Machines, Not Beside Them
The storage is the easy part. What decides whether the room works is the inch above the washer and the six behind the dryer.
– Counters sized to clear the machines and hold a folded load
– Hanging rods for what comes straight out of the dryer
– Tilt-out hampers for sorting before the wash
– Cabinets that get detergent off the top of the washer
– Fold-up ironing boards and pull-out drying racks
Laundry rooms vary more than the appliance aisle suggests. A closet off the hallway, a room off the garage, and a second-floor pass-through need completely different plans.
– Layouts measured around your exact machines
– Moisture, stain, and dirt-resistant laminate finishes
– Plans for venting, water lines, and floor drains
– 3D design provided before anything is built
– Professional installation and a limited lifetime warranty
What a Laundry Room Should Actually Do
A laundry room has one job: let you finish the load in the room instead of carrying it to a bed. Most fail at that because there is nowhere to fold, nowhere to hang, and the detergent lives on top of the washer.
Leave Room Above the Machines
Front loaders stand 38 to 40 inches tall, and a counter has to clear the highest point by an inch or two. A spin cycle moves the machine. Build the counter tight to it and you will hear about it every wash, and eventually you will see it in the finish.
Do Not Trap the Dryer's Heat
Water lines, the drain hose, and the vent need four to six inches behind the machines. Enclose a dryer under a solid counter with no gap at the back and you trap heat and moisture in the cavity. In Florida that matters more, because the room is already warm and already humid.
Give Yourself Somewhere to Fold
A counter at 27 to 34 inches deep holds a folded load and a laundry basket at the same time. Without it, the folding happens on the bed in another room, which is where clean laundry goes to sit for three days.
Hang It Straight Out of the Dryer
A rod above the counter is the cheapest thing in the room and the one that saves the most work. Shirts that go on a hanger while they are still warm do not need ironing. Everything that sits in the basket does.
Get the Detergent Off the Machine
Bottles on top of a washer walk off during the spin cycle. Closed cabinets above the machines hold detergent, stain remover, and the things you do not want a child reaching, and they keep the room from reading as a utility closet.
Keep It Easy to Maintain
A laundry room only stays organized if every step happens in one place. Sort, wash, fold, hang. When each of those has a spot, the room holds up on the weeks the laundry does not.
The goal is not a prettier laundry room. It is finishing the load where you started it, so clean clothes end up in a closet instead of on a chair.

Laundry Room FAQs
Straight answers about counters, venting, cost, and what actually happens in your home.
1) Can you put a countertop over my washer and dryer?
Over front loaders, yes. The counter has to clear the tallest point of the machines by an inch or two, because a spin cycle moves them. Top loaders open from above, so a counter over them is not an option, though a folding surface beside them usually is.
2) How much space is needed behind the machines?
Four to six inches. Water supply lines, the drain hose, and the dryer vent all sit back there and need room to route without kinking. That clearance is also why the finished cabinetry sits further forward than people expect.
3) Will enclosing the dryer cause a heat problem?
It can, if the cavity is sealed. A dryer puts out heat and moisture, so we leave an air gap at the back of the counter rather than boxing it in. In Central Florida that detail matters more than it does up north.
4) How deep should a laundry counter be?
Twenty-seven to thirty-four inches, which matches the depth of most machines and gives you room to fold a load with a basket beside you. Shallower than that and you are folding on the edge of the surface.
5) Do I need a hanging rod?
It is the cheapest thing in the room and the one people thank us for. Shirts hung while still warm come out without wrinkles. A rod above the counter or a pull-out valet beside the dryer does the job.
6) Can you work with a small laundry closet?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. A hallway closet with stacked machines still has room for a shelf above, a rod, and a narrow pull-out for detergent. The tighter the space, the more the layout decides whether it works.
7) Will the finish hold up to humidity and detergent?
Our standard laminate is moisture, stain, and dirt-resistant, which is what this room asks for. Edge banding is rated for Florida humidity. Nothing depends on a coating you have to reapply.
8) Can you add a sink or work around one?
We design around plumbing that is already there, including sink bases and utility sinks. If you are adding one, the plumbing is a separate trade, and it is worth settling before we measure so the cabinetry is drawn around the final position.
9) How long does it take?
About four to five weeks from the day you approve the design, since everything is cut to your measurements after you sign. Installation itself is usually a single day, and we haul away the packaging before we leave.
10) Do you design laundry rooms in the Orlando area?
Yes. Closets Orlando designs and installs custom laundry room storage for homeowners throughout Orlando and surrounding areas, including Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Osceola counties. The in-home design consultation is free.

What a Kids’ Closet Should Actually Do
Children grow quickly, but most closets are built as if their storage needs will never change. A well-planned kids’ closet organizes what they use today while leaving room to adapt for the next stage.
Keep Everyday Clothing Within Reach
Lower hanging rods, open shelves, and accessible drawers allow children to see their options and put clothing away with less help. Upper sections can be reserved for seasonal items and belongings managed by parents.
Separate What Fits from What Comes Next
Children often have clothing in several sizes at once. Dedicated storage areas make it easier to separate current clothing, next-size items, seasonal pieces, and anything they have already outgrown.
Create a School-Day Zone
Backpacks, uniforms, jackets, shoes, and sports gear should not compete for the same shelf. Giving frequently used items their own section makes school mornings easier and keeps them from ending up on the bedroom floor.
Balance Hanging and Folded Storage
Kids’ clothing is usually smaller and does not all need to be hung. Combining double-hang sections with drawers, shelving, and cubbies uses the available closet space more effectively.
Give Siblings Their Own Space
A shared kids’ closet works better when each child has clearly defined hanging, shelving, and drawer sections. This keeps clothing from getting mixed together and makes it easier for both children to maintain the space.
Plan for the Next Stage
A toddler’s closet may hold toys, bins, and small clothing. A teenager may need longer hanging space, more shoe storage, and larger drawers. Adjustable components allow the layout to change without replacing the entire closet system.
The goal is not simply to fit more inside. It is to create a kids’ closet that makes sense for your child, your routine, and the way their needs will change.
Designed Around Their Age, Routine, and Room
items do you handle? Do they wear a school uniform? Do siblings share the space? Where do backpacks, toys, sports equipment, and outgrown clothing currently end up?
We use those answers to create clear storage zones and determine the right balance of hanging space, drawers, shelving, and cubbies. Frequently used belongings can stay within easier reach, while seasonal and less-used items are stored higher.
Your personalized 3D design allows you to review how the closet will work now and how it can be adjusted as your child grows.

Kids Closet FAQs
1) What Should a Kids’ Closet Include?
A kids’ closet should include a practical combination of hanging space, adjustable shelving, drawers, shoe storage, and cubbies. The exact layout depends on your child’s age, wardrobe, room size, and whether the closet also needs to store toys, school supplies, or sports gear.
2) Can a Custom Kids’ Closet Grow with My Child?
Yes. Adjustable shelves and hanging rods allow the closet to change as your child gets older. Lower sections used for small clothing and toys can later be adjusted for longer clothes, larger shoes, and the storage needs of a teenager.
3) Is a Custom Closet Worth It for a Young Child?
A custom closet can be especially useful for younger children because their clothing sizes and storage needs change quickly. A flexible design helps organize current clothing, next-size items, seasonal pieces, toys, and everyday essentials within the same space.
4) Can You Design a Closet for Siblings Who Share a Room?
Yes. A shared kids’ closet can be divided into clearly defined sections for each child. Separate hanging areas, shelves, drawers, and shoe storage help prevent belongings from getting mixed together and make the closet easier to maintain.
5) Can You Improve a Small Reach-In Kids’ Closet?
Yes. Even a small reach-in closet can provide useful storage when the vertical space is properly planned. Double-hang sections, adjustable shelves, drawers, and cubbies can make better use of the closet without changing its existing footprint.
6) Can a Kids’ Closet Store Toys and School Supplies?
Yes. A kids’ closet can include designated areas for toys, books, backpacks, school supplies, uniforms, and sports equipment. Keeping these items in separate storage zones helps prevent them from taking over the bedroom.
7) Should Everything Be Within My Child’s Reach?
Not necessarily. Everyday clothing, shoes, and frequently used items can be stored at a height your child can access more easily. Upper shelves are better suited for seasonal clothing, keepsakes, next-size items, and belongings that parents manage.
8) How Do You Design a Custom Kids’ Closet?
The process begins with a free in-home consultation. We measure the space, review what needs to be stored, and discuss your preferred colors, finishes, and accessories. You then receive a personalized 3D design that can be reviewed and adjusted before installation.
9)How Much Does a Custom Kids’ Closet Cost?
The cost depends on the closet’s size, layout, materials, finishes, drawers, and accessories. A simple reach-in closet will generally require a different budget than a larger walk-in design. We provide a personalized quote based on the design selected for your space.
10) Do You Design Kids’ Closets in the Orlando Area?
Yes. Closets Orlando designs and installs custom kids’ closets for homeowners throughout Orlando and surrounding areas, including Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Osceola counties.

Laundry FAQs
Do Custom Closets Increase Home Value?
Investing in a custom closet organizer can significantly enhance your home’s value and appeal. Unlike standard renovations, personalized closet solutions offer a higher return on investment by maximizing space and functionality. A thoughtfully designed closet organizer not only helps you keep your belongings neatly arranged but also transforms your home into a space that exudes efficiency and style.
Adding a custom closet to a spare room, for instance, can create the illusion of an extra bedroom, a feature highly sought after by potential buyers.

Moreover, customized closet organize solutions bring a unique personality to your living spaces, making your home stand out in the market.

What is the average depth of a custom closet?
Understanding Custom Closet Depth: Optimizing Your 24-Inch Space
When it comes to designing your ideal closet, one of the key considerations is depth. The standard depth for a custom closet is typically around 24 inches. This measurement is not arbitrary; it’s specifically chosen to accommodate a wide range of clothing items and storage solutions.
What is the most efficient closet size?
Ever wondered about the ideal size for a walk-in closet? Let’s break it down. A walk-in closet should be spacious enough for you to move around comfortably. Typically, the standard dimensions start at about 6 x 10 feet or 7 x 10 feet, which works well for two people. But if you’re aiming for ample storage and easy navigation, shooting for around 100 square feet is spot on.
Now, organizing that space efficiently is key. Consider incorporating storage shelves and wardrobe organizers to keep everything in order. Utilizing shelving units and storage racks can make a significant difference in maintaining a tidy and accessible closet.
Remember, a well-organized closet not only maximizes your space but also streamlines your daily routine. Investing in quality closet organizers can transform your walk-in closet into a functional and stylish area that meets all your storage needs.
