The Laundry Room Deserves Better 🧺

Let's talk about one of the hardest-working rooms in the house.

The laundry room.

It's where clothes get washed, towels get folded, cleaning supplies multiply overnight, random socks go to disappear forever...

And somehow, it's also where we put everything we don't know what else to do with. 😂

For a room we use all the time, laundry rooms don't always get much attention.

Maybe it's time they did.

Wash. Dry. Fold. Then... Leave It There.

You know the system.

Wash the clothes.

Dry the clothes.

Fold the clothes.

Put the neatly folded clothes in a basket...

And leave the basket sitting there for 3–5 business days. 😂

We can't promise a remodeled laundry room will make anyone actually put the clothes away.

But we can make the process a whole lot easier.

A Countertop Can Be a Game Changer

If you've ever tried folding clothes on top of the washer while socks fall down behind it, you already know where we're going with this.

Adding a countertop gives you a designated place to fold, sort and organize laundry.

Depending on your setup, a countertop over a front-loading washer and dryer can also turn otherwise unused space into something incredibly practical.

Simple?

Yes.

Life-changing at 10:00 PM when you're folding the third load of towels?

Also yes.

Give the Laundry Basket Somewhere to Live

Laundry baskets have an amazing ability to always be exactly where you need to walk.

A well-planned laundry room can include space for hampers, baskets, hanging clothes and all the other things that usually end up scattered around the room.

Cabinetry can also hide detergent, dryer sheets, cleaning products and the approximately 47 other bottles that somehow accumulate above the washer.

Less clutter. More function.

We'll take it.

Yes, Your Laundry Room Can Be Pretty

Practical doesn't have to mean boring.

Cabinet colors, countertops, flooring, hardware, lighting and even a fun backsplash can completely change the feel of a laundry room.

And because it's usually a smaller space, the laundry room can be a great place to have a little fun.

Love a cabinet color you're nervous to use in the kitchen?

Laundry room.

Found a fun tile?

Laundry room.

Want cute hardware you wouldn't necessarily use throughout the whole house?

You guessed it.

Laundry room. 😂

Don't Forget the Floors

Water + laundry + everyday traffic means flooring matters.

You want something durable, easy to clean and appropriate for the space.

Because eventually someone is going to drop the detergent.

And if it's the giant bottle?

Well...

We'll just hope the lid was on.

What If You Don't Really Have a Laundry Room?

This is where things can get interesting.

Maybe your washer and dryer are tucked into a hallway.

Maybe they're in a closet.

Maybe they're sharing space with something else.

Or maybe there's another area of the house that isn't being used very well.

Sometimes reworking or converting an existing space can create a laundry area that makes much more sense for the way your family lives.

You don't necessarily need a giant room.

You need a smart one.

Make the Chores a Little Less... Chore-ish

Will beautiful cabinets make laundry fun?

Probably not.

Will a folding counter magically make everyone put their own clothes away?

Definitely not. 😂

But having a space that's organized, functional and actually enjoyable to walk into can make an everyday chore feel a whole lot easier.
