Designing a laundry room
- Take advantage of natural light by converting a room with windows into the laundry room.
- Consider locating the laundry room directly off the master bedroom suite.
- Brighten the interior—and reflect the room’s “water” theme—with light green and pale blue wall paint.
- Raise washer and dryer off the floor, or select front-loading models with bottom drawers, for easier access to the machines.
- Solid surfacing creates durable, stylish countertops that are ideal for laundry rooms.
- Install upper wall and base cabinets for extra storage space.
- For entertainment, put in an under-cabinet, flip-down television.
- Install a jetted laundry sink, which can be used to clean hand-washables.
- Incorporate a heated drying cabinet for gently drying damp clothes and sweaters.
