DIY Laundry Rack from an Old Ladder

Brilliant DIY Laundry Rack from an Old Ladder

Bec from Remodelaholic came up with the most clever way to repurpose an old wooden ladder—turning it into a DIY laundry rack!

She found the ladder at a secondhand store and instantly saw its potential as a drying space for her laundry room.

After a quick cleaning and a coat of paint, she mounted it securely to the ceiling using heavy-duty hooks and chains.

What I love most is how it adds charm and function without taking up valuable floor space—perfect for small laundry areas!

She even left the rungs intact, which makes hanging delicate items or clothes on hangers super simple and accessible.

You could totally customize this idea with a pop of color, or even distress the finish for a rustic look.

Bec’s walkthrough is beginner-friendly, but the end result looks like something out of a high-end home magazine.

She also gives helpful tips on how to securely hang it so it’s safe and strong enough to hold wet clothes.

If you’ve got an old ladder or love a good thrift find, this is a project to try ASAP!
