Our laundry rooms are typically one of the smallest rooms in our homes, yet they are one of our heaviest-traveled spaces. I’ve often wondered: Why is such a well-used area given so little attention? Though I’ve seen the odd wine refrigerator or reading chair in a laundry rooms, most folks go with utilitarian decor.
Most laundry rooms are small, so if you want the best organization and decor, you’ll have to put some thought into it.
First, answer these questions: How is the room going to be used, and who does the room serve? Once you settle on the practical, you can find those extras that will make the space feel like a lovely place to be—or as lovely as you can feel while doing laundry.
Let’s take a look at ways you can take advantage of the space you have and the most essential items to consider—plus a few creative, fun features you may not have seen before.
