Although hard work are completed in the laundry room, it doesn’t have to be a den of drudgery. As another idea, it can be a stylish space that adds serviceability to your home. Your laundry area should be just as well outfitted as any other spot in the home, but it should work overtime by being practical and providing additional storage.
Color and Style.
Even though the laundry room is a highly serviceable space, it does not have to be dull. Choose a welcome dose of color that feels sunny and bright. Walls in shades of clear yellow, soothing aqua, sea foam green, lavender or shades of red will warm and energize you. Bring in bold accents with accessories. If there is space above cabinets use it to display vases or glassware, metal florist vases, pottery, collectibles, baskets, birdhouses or anything that makes you smile. Choose wall art in bright shades, such as framed graphic photos, a nice wall mirror, painted garden iron or palm tree wall art – all of which will help you to define your style.
Sunshine Always Welcome.
If your laundry room has a window, choose sheer cafe curtains that make the most of natural light or matchstick shades that filter intense sunlight while allowing outdoor views to remain. Boring and dull florescent fixtures can be switched out with trendy pendent lights. Strategically place a wall mirror where it can capture and reflect light, making the room feel spacious and airy.
Cabinets and Built-In Storage Options.
For laundry areas with a closet, think about investing in rods and shelving that will allow you to make the most of your space. You can store jackets and other winter wear on a rod while shoes, cleaning and pet supplies, outerwear and hats can be stored on shelving.
Empty wall space can be utilized with cabinets or shelving units. If you are looking for more affordable alternatives, then choose white laminate cabinets that go well with white appliances. Enhance your comfort and storage capacity with pieces that serve multiple purposes, like a bench with bottom storage.
A flexible storage option is free-standing mobile units that allow you to sort dirty laundry, hang clothing and store your supplies simply and easily.
Make it Multi-Functional.
Activities like flower arranging and pet care can be made simpler with a counter and sink in the laundry room. Designate a shelf for flower vases, pet supplies or hobby supplies and free up space elsewhere in the home. Use your hobby or pet as inspiration for laundry room decor. You can complement a pet or garden theme in the laundry room if you ordinarily store these types of items there. For instance, wall hooks can display colorful leashes, collars and dog bandanas. A basket can hold favorite balls and toys and a monogrammed pet bed tells everyone who rules. Set out a colorful canister of pet treats on a countertop. Enlarge favorite pictures of your dog or cat and use computer effects to make bold modern prints that you can frame and use as large wall sculptures to accent blank wall space.
Don’t overlook the obvious when decorating a laundry room. This is one space where you must make every inch of space count and where the decor should reflect upon your interests and lifestyle.
