DIY Laundry Pedestal (20 Ways to Build)

By Aimee John · Published Mar 28, 2024 · Updated Oct 25, 2026

When I first moved into my small apartment, I quickly realized how precious every square inch of space was. My laundry area was a tight squeeze, and I needed to find a way to make it more functional. That's when I stumbled upon the idea of building a DIY laundry pedestal. It sounded like a perfect solution to not only raise my washer and dryer to a more convenient height but also to sneak in some extra storage.

After scouring the internet for ideas and plans, I decided to take on the project. I was no expert in woodworking, but the abundance of simple and straightforward guides I found made me confident enough to give it a try. The process was surprisingly accessible, and along the way, I learned a lot about basic carpentry and how to maximize my limited space. The completed pedestal made doing laundry less of a chore and even added a neat look to my otherwise utilitarian space.
