Don’t forget the laundry room

Building a custom home or remodeling? Don’t forget to design the laundry room. While the laundry room is often ignored in design, making your space more efficient and attractive can make your laundry experience a lot more pleasant.

Typically, the laundry room is made to look overly institutional, completely lacking design. Add a little pleasure to the unexciting task of laundry by giving your laundry room a theme. Art objects while normally disregarded for the laundry room can help support your custom selected theme. When choosing a décor make sure it will help give your laundry design a clean style to it.

Next, focus on comfort. What small details could help make doing laundry easier? Make the laundry detergent easy and convenient to use and store attractively. For powdered soap select a large stylish canister, for liquid soaps use an appealing beverage dispenser that will make any counter look great.

Make air drying easier by installing a wall-mounted accordion drying rack that can be hidden under a small shelf, when not in use. Also, include a cabinet with a clothing rod to hold garments that need to be hung, ironed, or repaired. Consider installing extra-deep cabinets with open shelving to store laundry baskets; this will help keep them hidden and add some extra work-space to the counter.

If you’re thinking of remodeling your home or designing a custom home, don’t overlook the laundry room when it comes to your new design.
