Washer, dryer, and what else? How about shaker cabinets, shelving, and custom storage solutions you never dreamed you had enough room for?
It’s all available during your next remodel. Today, we’re sharing a few bits of inspiration with laundry room ideas for spaces of all sizes, with solutions that suit a range of budgets.
Add more counterspace.
Some lifestyles are begging for more work surface. Whether you’re always hosting a gathering or running a small business from home, see your space in a new light. Laundry rooms double as second locations for all of your prep, storage, and other detailed tasks.
If you’re looking to sell down the road, never underestimate the allure of extra counterspace, even in laundry rooms.
The hall closet conversion.
If your coat collection doesn’t really justify the space your hall closet has to offer, you have a laundry niche. Install moisture-resistant vinyl or tile flooring and overhead shelving for greater durability and organization.
Adding in-unit laundry is one of the smartest upgrades to make to your condo or apartment. Whether you choose to sell or rent out your unit in the future, it’ll make your property the one to pursue.
Extending storage.
Bold finishes and quality materials make for an aesthetically pleasing laundry room. However, when you have the additional space, the real bonus is storage. Realtors always highlight laundry room storage as a selling feature.
Installing cabinets gives you options for pantry overflow, household backstock, cleaning supplies, and more.
Airy cottage charm.
Fold fresh laundry in the sun with a retro-styled rear entryway laundry room. Pastel beadboard and timeless tile are the perfect way to style a classic, homespun washing-up spot.
Choose vintage-inspired knobs for cabinets, and low-maintenance engineered stone for a folding counter.
Custom contemporary.
There’s no need to keep the laundry room concealed behind closed doors when it’s as design-forward as the rest of your home. Stacked machines integrated into elegant oak cabinetry free up enough room for a sink and storage. Patterned tile flooring keeps it from being too stark.
Install a one-wall laundry station…
Washer, dryer, sink, cabinet, shelving–all along one wall. If you’re having trouble configuring a layout amid high-traffic areas, it’s okay to keep the path clear.
Shelving and cabinets for the sink are customized for the tight area. It’s a cost and space-efficient way to pack more amenities onto your property.
…Or a full-scale drop zone for the whole fam.
This is the secret to a tidier household. Hand washing, bookbag-dropping, coat-throwing, clothes-cleaning, and more–all kept away from your kitchen and living space. If you have an expansive entryway, consider a combo laundry room and mudroom.
You’ll get cubbies, shelving, hooks, extra storage, and more. Use a common color palette for countertops, backsplashes, and flooring to maintain the flow and create smoothly styled transitions through the home.
Don’t forget the hanging space.
Hanging is an easier way to keep closets tidy and our favorite clothes wrinkle-free, and it starts in the laundry room.
This calm, cream-colored space takes up no more than a niche. An L-shaped layout hosts machines, cabinets, counterspace for folding, and room for all of your supplies.
