Laundry Room Shiplap and DIY Wood Shelves

Our favorite part of the new laundry room is definitely the laundry room shiplap and shelving.First thing we did was measure the back wall of our laundry room above the washer and dryer.

Laundry Room Shiplap and DIY Wood Shelves
We cut 1×6 boards to fit that width perfectly for the Laundry Room Shiplap, then we tacked them up to the wall with our nail gun, just barely leaving a space between each board.Once all of the Laundry Room shiplap boards were up we painted them with two coats of white paint.

We used 1×6 boards again for the shelves and cut them the exact same length as the shiplap (67 inches).

Wood & Pipe Wall Shelves for the Laundry Room

The thing is, this wall above the washer and dryer in the laundry room has been begging for shelving for a long time…Look at this.I don’t love a lot of shelving brackets that are available these days, so I figured the laundry room was either going to need to be floating shelves (like these awesome ones that Sarah built in her laundry room, I’m jealous.)(Which actually required me to re-paint the laundry room for the second time that day.Here are a few weird things about my life/laundry situation: First, I keep all my clean socks and workout clothes in the laundry room.
