Custom Homes | No one likes doing laundry, especially if the laundry room is messy, bland and uninspiring. But there’s no need to fear cleaning your clothes, because you can turn a chore into a pleasure with these laundry room ideas that will add to your decor and organization.
1. Give it a paint job
Bring new life to your laundry room by giving it a coat of paint. Make a room bright and cheery with light colors, like the white cabinets in this sunny laundry room, or warm and peaceful, using darker or more earthy tones. Create the atmosphere you want, and make laundry time enjoyable.
2. Put in a countertop
In most laundry rooms, you need all the space you can get, and losing precious counter space to your washer and dryer is a waste! Instead, install a solid countertop, high enough to cover your laundry machines, so that you can use that space for your laundering tasks.
3. Choose a design style
If you’re looking for a quick way to add design to your space, choose a theme and add decor that fits it, like in this farmhouse-styled laundry room. Once you have a central idea, finding the right details can be as easy as repurposing an old shutter, arranging some flowers or adding a vase of seashells.
4. Put up some shelves
Tiered levels of shelves are the perfect place to line up some well-labeled, sturdy baskets for dirty or clean colors, whites, delicates, towels and linens. With proper space and meticulous tagging, you’ll never have to worry about separated sock pairs again!
5. Hang a chic chandelier
Dim lighting is a common dilemma in basement laundry rooms, and it can really bring down your mood and deplete your productivity. Add a funky lamp or a chic chandelier and brighten up your space and make it functional and fashionable.
6. Add helpful receptacles
The key to keeping your laundry room organized is proper waste disposal. Get rid of floating wads of lint and used and wrinkled dryer sheets by mounting a classy, labeled lint bin on your laundry room wall. With the right colors and font, a bin could even add to your decor!
7. Make a spot for everything
With a good amount of planning and forethought, you can arrange your laundry room so that everything has a proper place, from baskets to machines to detergents. Try adding a made-to-fit storage bench like this one for a unique laundry room layout that’s perfect for you!
8. Add a folding table
If you have empty space in your laundry room, build your own folding table to add a clean clothing care center for your laundry needs. Try this great tutorial for a DIY folding table to add some style and function!
9. Hang a display shelf
Add a decorative display shelf for colorful decor and interesting design. The right display shelves can be fabulously decorative and also add storage space. This laundry room has a storage shelf that doubles as a display for a stained glass mural!
10. Bring in plants
Keep your laundry room from getting drab by bringing in some vibrant plant life. A small tree, a potted plant or a few small succulents are all great ways to add a little texture and color to your work space. - Redfin
