When you update a laundry room, making it functional is the primary goal. But because you’ll spend quite a bit of time there, it’s also important to make the space comfortable and inviting.
Style with Substance. To accomplish this goal, we added accessories that were both practical and attractive. These simple additions and modifications made a big difference when it came to the laundry room’s overall appeal. Continue through the slides to see the details that make the space stylish.
White wire shelves above the countertop work great and look good, too. Where there was no storage before, we added lots of easily accessible space for all kinds of laundry supplies. The baskets on the shelves help contain the clutter.
Fluorescent fixtures are great for handling the main lighting load in a laundry room. A three-light pendant above the washer and dryer, though, adds task lighting and a touch of style.
Carpet squares are comfortable underfoot, attractive, and easy to replace if an area ever gets stained or damaged. Just pull up the affected ones, and leave the rest in place.
This laundry cart is perfect for holding freshly folded items, wet clothes on their way to the drying rack, or air-dried clothes waiting to be fluffed. Designed for commercial use, it won’t wear out in a home, and its industrial-chic styling makes it a fun addition.
A rolling laundry sorting bin provides an easy way to ensure that laundry gets properly sorted by load type. The one we chose is only 30” tall, meaning it can easily slip underneath a countertop.
