Design-Worthy Laundry Room

April 14, 2014 by Mary Kyryk

There’s no reason your laundry room can’t be just as organized and well-designed as any other room in your home. A few simple touches here and there can give the space some personality, quickly turning it from drab to fab.

Start With The Walls

The laundry room might be place where you can try experimenting with color. Replace that dull beige paint with something more lively, or maybe even use wallpaper to create a stylish backdrop for those uninspiring appliances.

And don’t stop there. Finish off the look by adding coordinating artwork or a fun wall decal to put a smile on your face amid all the sorting and folding.

Even something as simple as changing out the cabinet pulls can add a touch of character and style to the space.

Let There Be (enough) Light

If you aren’t fortunate enough to have a lot of natural light flooding your laundry room, be sure to add a brilliant fixture to illuminate the important tasks at hand. Sorting navy socks from black ones can be prove to be a real challenge in dim lighting!

What about a chandelier? This unexpected design touch would truly change the mood of the space from practical to posh…and would get the neighbors talking!

Even if your basement doubles as your laundry room, think about how you might incorporate some of these ideas to liven up the space. After all, even a basement laundry doesn’t have to be all about utility.

What Clients Are Saying

We worked with Mary on a large renovation project of the main living space in our house. Her insights and recommendations really helped us to plan out a space that would give us the improvements we were hoping for both functionally and aesthetically. Some of our favorite elements and features of the new space we would have never come up with on our own without Mary’s support.
