What kind of cabinets go in a laundry room?

You can install one or more closed or open wall cabinets on the wall above the washer and dryer in a small laundry room to house detergents and supplies. If you have a top-loading washing machine, be sure to leave enough room overhead. In a large space, you can install wardrobe-style cabinets with extra storage space or room to hang a drying rack to air dry clothes, saving energy and making them last longer. Many people use kitchen cabinets in laundry rooms.

What is best material for laundry room cabinets?

The best material for laundry room cabinets is natural hardwood, which is more durable than manmade materials and will be able to stand up to the high moisture levels found in laundry rooms. The second best and more affordable option is plywood.
