Beyond the Clothes: Custom Cabinetry Solutions for Ironing Boards & Cleaning Equipment
When designing a highly efficient laundry or utility room, the goal isn't just to store clothes… It's to conquer the clutter of the other necessities: mops, vacuums, cleaning chemicals, and the notoriously awkward ironing board.
Standard cabinets rarely provide a clean solution for these tall, deep, or often hazardous items. The only way to achieve a truly bespoke organisation is through custom-cut flat-pack panels, allowing you to design cabinets that perfectly suit the size and shape of your specific tools.
Here are three ways custom cabinetry solves the most frustrating utility storage challenges:
1. The Ironing Board Garage
The ironing board is bulky, heavy, and often left leaning against a wall, making the utility room look instantly chaotic. Custom cabinetry can provide it with its own tailored, seamless home.
The Challenge: Storing a standard ironing board requires a very specific depth and height (often deeper and narrower than standard pantry units).
The Custom Solution: Design a tall, ultra-narrow base cabinet specifically dimensioned for your folded board. The panels are cut to your exact width and depth specifications, allowing you to integrate a pull-out shelf or a simple hook system that hides the entire unit behind a single, clean cabinet door.
2. Ventilated and Secure Chemical Storage
For safety and organisation, cleaning chemicals and detergents should be stored away from general supplies and out of reach of children or pets.
The Challenge: Finding a dedicated, secure cabinet that fits high up or within a tight corner niche.
The Custom Solution: Use custom panels to build a smaller, dedicated upper cabinet that fits securely above the benchtop. By choosing a durable, moisture-resistant material, you create a dedicated "chemical hub." The beauty of custom work is the ability to easily add internal partitions, ensuring bottles are held securely upright and not prone to tipping.
3. The Dedicated Cleaning Station (Broom Closet)
A standard broom closet usually means tossing mops and vacuum attachments into a black hole of clutter. A custom-partitioned unit solves this.
The Challenge: Organising long-handled tools and vacuum accessories so they are immediately accessible without cluttering the floor.
The Custom Solution: Design a tall cabinet where the internal space is precisely partitioned. Order vertical separator panels cut to custom sizes and depths. These partitions can be placed exactly where you need them to hold mops, brooms, and even the vacuum cleaner itself, preventing everything from tumbling out when the door opens. This bespoke approach turns a utility closet into an organised, custom cleaning station.
