The Ultimate Laundry Room Design Guide

We think everyone can agree that their least favorite day of the week is laundry day. The thought of having to wash, dry, fold, and store clothing is tiresome on its own! Here are some ideas that can help transform your laundry room from a room you loath being into a space you love!

Add Countertops

Have you been folding and stacking clothes on top of your washer and dryer? Consider adding some countertops to extend your workspace! If you have front-loading appliances, adding a countertop above them will give the illusion of a larger space and allows you to have a smooth surface to fold away! A countertop across the washer and dryer not only provides space for folding clothes, but also a place for placing detergent and other cleaning products, and in some cases – room to stack the folded clothes for weeks until you put them away!

Incorporate Shelves & Cabinets

Your walk-in closet is not the only storage unit you should have! Installing shelves and storage cabinets in the laundry room promotes maximum use of space. Additionally, cabinets enhance privacy by preventing the open display of clothes.

Add a Sink

Part of the reason you hate spending time in your laundry room is the accumulation of stubborn stains. It takes time to rinse them, especially if they have been there for a while. Installing a sink in your laundry room can help rinse the dirty stains.

Brighten things up

Laundry rooms are known for being dim and dark places, but they don’t have to be! Increase the brightness of the space by adding some small tap lights under cabinets and shelves. That way, if you’re having trouble seeing, it just takes a simple flick of the wrist to brighten things.

But don’t stop there! Make sure your overhead lighting is upgraded as well. Skip the fluorescents and switch to energy-efficient LED bulbs.
