ClosetMaid 8278 18-Inch Wide Laundry Utility Hanger Shelf – White, Dual-Mode Mounting

Smart, flexible storage for laundry and closet spaces

Meet the ClosetMaid 8278 18-Inch Wide Laundry Utility Hanger Shelf in White, a versatile add-on designed to maximize storage in tight areas. The ventilated wire design keeps air flowing around garments while still offering solid space for hangers and small items. With an open layout, you can reduce clutter in laundry rooms, mudrooms, or bedrooms, and easily reach what you need. The unit supports two mounting approaches—hang the shelf with the shelf on top to gain extra hanger space, or flip it so the shelf sits on the bottom to create a compact storage ledge. This adaptability helps you tailor the setup to your routine without expanding the footprint of the room.

Two practical mounting options

The standout feature is its ability to be mounted in two ways. When the shelf is positioned on top, it unlocks additional hanger capacity for daily outfits or seasonal rotations. If you choose the bottom-shelf configuration, it becomes a convenient spot for detergents, clothespins, or small accessories. This flexibility is especially useful in smaller laundry nooks or closets where every inch matters.

Built to last in busy spaces

Constructed from epoxy-coated steel, this shelf is designed for durability in high-use environments. The compact footprint measures 6.25" H × 18" W × 12.25" D, offering a clearly defined niche without crowding the room. Hardware for installation is included, so you can set it up with common tools and start enjoying organized storage right away.
