Design Tips for Decorating a Laundry Room
- Make it Your Own – Whether you have a sprawling space or a tiny closet to work with, your laundry room should reflect your unique decorating style and blend in with your existing decor. Small spaces provide fantastic opportunities to take a few design risks, so go ahead and make it your own!
- Maximize Storage – Take your cues from good kitchen designs and maximize your laundry storage with a combination of closed and open storage. In addition to laundry items, laundry rooms tend to house cleaning products, bulk supplies, and other random but necessary household goods. Closed storage is an attractive way of keeping these items organized, accessible, but out of sight.
- Use Every Square Inch – Granted, not everyone has the luxury of working with a large space or a large budget. If your laundry room is limited to a closet-sized space, this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice design or function. Think vertically in small spaces and utilize every square inch of space available to you.
- Form Should Follow Function – When thinking through what your laundry design should include, the form should follow function–meaning the purpose of the room should be the starting point for your design. Therefore, your laundry room should be designed with four zones in mind: sorting, washing/drying, ironing, and folding/hanging. With some creative planning, you can pack a lot of utility into even the smallest of space.
