First thing I'd do is paint the tiles, you can get paint specifically for tiles. Then I'd get some storage - can you get some flat pack cupboards to put up? And maybe a bench?

Our laundry is the 'long' kind - door off the hall opens inward to the right, the wall is right there so no space on that side. We have hooks up high to hang brooms, mops and clothes horses. On the left there's cupboards up high about 2/3 of the way along, they stop above the sink because of the window. There's a pretty big space on the floor there where the dog sleeps, then the washer/dryer, then the sink with cupboard underneath, then the back door.

The only thing it's missing is a bench, so we're making one to go from the hall door to the sink, we'll make a bit of a 'box' thing for the dog so his bed is raised, and then on top I'll be able to put buckets and baskets for wet clothes etc.

As for clothes hampers, we have one for DH and I in our WIR. The kids share one because I wash their clothes together, so they have a basket in the laundry. It's in the way though so when we get that bench they'll have one on there.
