Loads of Fun: The Best Features in New Laundry Rooms

laundry room upgradesPerhaps you’ve done a bit of laundry in your life. Whether you’re in the market to renovate an existing laundry room or you’re hoping to make some smart decisions on the next one, we’ve scoured the Internet looking for beautiful trends to watch. Don’t just throw in the towel, check out what these fabulous new laundry rooms have to offer. Here’s our laundry list, offering plenty of inspirational solutions.

 

Double or Nothing.

Move over, double ovens. When you’ve got a large home or guest house with a ton of laundry to do, nothing makes it simpler than a double washer-dryer unit. It’s like double the fun, in half the time.

 

Let there be light.

Adding some bright, cheery paint and an abundance of natural light, and you’re sure to lessen the load of doing laundry in the first place. Another idea is to add a glass-paneled door on a window-less room.

 

Be sure to add the texture.

Try adding a mix of textures on cabinet doors, floors, walls, and window treatments in order to bring some pop and personality to an otherwise cool existence in the laundry room. By incorporating a wooden shelf or work-table, you can secure even more options to add warm style to your substance.

 

Seen and not heard.

Since some laundry rooms can be seen from other spots in the home such as a kitchen, garage, or mudroom, some professional designers suggest adding some special elements into the overall look and design of the cabinetry and storage areas. If you’re in the market for a new home, be sure to take the laundry room’s place in the house in mind so you can anticipate what your timing and effort will involve.

 

Forge the form into the function.

As you build or remodel your laundry room, try to think about all of the ways the room can be used. Does it double as a small home office? Will you use it for gift wrapping? What about adding a butler’s pantry, mud room, or a smaller prep kitchen? You’ll want to frame the room in such a way that it reflects all that truly happens in the finished space.

 

Channel the inner artiste.

While a central décor theme is certainly an option, another possibility is to use the laundry room’s walls as a place to hang a few pieces from your extensive and eclectic art collection. Or, take candid photos of your family and have them framed and hung in the room to remind everyone just why you’re there in the first place: to care for the people you love.
