Looking for laundry inspiration to revamp your laundry room? Or maybe you’re thinking of doing some laundry renovations? While this area isn’t an interior design focus of your house, there’s no reason it shouldn’t be functional and pleasing to the eye. A well-designed laundry area makes it easier—and more pleasant—to do the chore.
We’ve gathered some DIY project ideas for laundry designs you can consider below.
Time to put your interior designer hat on! Fabulous laundry room design begins with a proper layout. Consider having ample storage space, ventilation, and lighting when planning your mud room layout. Additionally, plan around the washer you currently have (or plan to buy).
These washing machines only differ in terms of the access point, though what kind of machine you choose will impact your laundry room layout. A front-loader washing machine can be stacked with your dryer to maximise existing space. A top loader won’t require you to bend over, allowing more ease of movement. If washing machines are placed side by side with your dryer, you can use the extra surface as a folding station.
Whether you’re only moving around your fixtures or need laundry renovation ideas, here are the types of laundry layout to consider to make the most of your existing space.
Laundry rooms should be well-ventilated to avoid dampness and moisture. Lighting is only sometimes considered for laundry and mudrooms, so you may have to use artificial lighting to liven up the space and make chores easier. If you don’t have the luxury of a large window, you can maximise extra space and avoid clutter to ensure good airflow.
Save room for a utility sink where you can handwash pieces, a work table for folding and ironing clothes, and drying racks or rods. Depending on the space available, you can make your countertops/work tables and drying areas fixed or movable.
Water-resistant materials on your countertops and wet room flooring can prevent mould growth. Make sure to add proper waterproofing to your laundry design checklist. Adding backsplash tile protects your walls against inevitable splashing when washing from your sink.
Attempting a laundry makeover or building a new laundry space? An attractive laundry area doesn’t just mean it should be aesthetically pleasing—it should also be functional and have ample vertical space for storage. Here are some laundry designs to try out.
Utilising your storage solutions is vital to improving your laundry room’s overall functionality and look. The main thing to remember is not to waste an inch of your space! See some suggestions below:
It doesn’t matter whether you’re pursuing a laundry renovation or adding small touches to improve your laundry room. From revamping your laundry plan to choosing storage and creative changes, these laundry ideas can help you make your laundry room a space in your house to enjoy.
