Laundry Room Inspiration

The dreaded laundry room —we all have one. Admittedly, no one ever feels excited when entering a cluttered space to clean or fold their laundry. However, the laundry room has received an upgrade in recent years to become a more personalized space, or —dare we say it —a space that is enjoyable to work in. Okay, maybe laundry duty isn’t that delightful but that doesn’t mean your laundry room can’t be functional and beautiful. If you’re looking to spruce up your laundry room or simply personalize your space, the experts from Carpet One can help! We can create a space that fits your interior style, while focusing on the much-needed elements of any laundry room, including pet-friendly and kid-friendly options, as well as on-trend styles.

Light & Bright

Forget spending endless hours in a dark and dingy room! Keep things open and airy with a light color scheme that is minimal in decor. A simple coat of white paint can brighten up even the dullest of laundry rooms. Choose a light-colored tile backsplash or a patterned tile floor to create an elegant and timeless look.

Storage for Small Spaces

Adding storage will help any cramped and cluttered room appear clean and open. Create a streamlined look that saves on space: 

• Add drying racks or hooks to hang clean clothing. 

• Install shelves for easy-to-reach accessories.

• Utilize cabinets to hide laundry cleaners when guests come to visit. 

Multi-Functional Spaces

Did we say functional? Create a room that offers more than just a place to clean laundry. If you have the space, (or even if you have limited space), make your laundry room multi-functional:

• Create a Personal Gym: No need to sit and wait for your laundry. Use the time to add in your favorite workout routine with a treadmill, yoga area, dumbell rack, etc. 

• Add a Workspace: Get twice the amount of work done! Create a workspace or writing area to keep up with those work meetings or school studies.

• Laundry & Leisure: Who said laundry day has to be boring? Create a cozy book nook or TV space to catch up on all your entertainment favorites.

• Pet-Friendly Design: Create a space for your family pets to hang out. Give your doggo a much-needed bath in a tub designed just for them!

Make it Blue

(Or any color you choose!) Regardless of budget, you can elevate your space with any number of colorful options. Consider these ideas to create a space that is both vibrant and fun:

• Pop of Paint: Bring in color with a fresh coat of paint on your cabinets or walls.

• Colorful Decor: Add some pizzazz to your laundry room with bright flowers, patterned towels, stone soap dispensers, and more!

• Full Remodel: Planning a remodel? Don’t be afraid to mix it up with unique hardware finishes, sleek appliances, a vibrant backsplash, or even patterned flooring. 

Laundry Storage

It’s the Neverending Story: heaps of dirty laundry on the floor, clean laundry piled high on the dryer, and a few lone socks stuck in “laundry limbo”. Put an end to the chaos and clutter with laundry baskets and storage. Tuck your baskets inside a designated closet or storage space when guests arrive to keep your laundry room looking fresh and clean.  

Lighting

Lastly, don’t forget the lighting! Natural lighting is the best way to breathe life into any space. If adding a window is not an option for you, consider a unique pendant or lighting fixture that draws the eye up.
