Laundry rooms are functional spaces in a home that often get overlooked during renovations. We are here to provide homeowners with helpful insights when it comes to your laundry room renovation and inspire you to incorporate these design features and take your home’s design to the next level!
Tiled Floors
- Take this opportunity to have fun with your tile selections! Laundry rooms don’t have to be treated as utility spaces and can be impactful.
- You can be bold with your choice of colour and pattern when it comes to tiles.
- Tiles should be functional, easy to maintain, and most importantly, protect your floors from water damage. Choose the material wisely and opt for darker grout colours if possible.
Laundry Sink Or Laundry Tub
- A must-have in any laundry room if space allows for it.
- These large sinks and tubs are a great way to hand-wash specialty items or hose off equipment and other tools as needed.
- Available in different sizes, design styles, and colours.
- If a sink cabinet is not an option for you, there are cost-effective tubs available on the market.
- Sink and tub designs don’t have to be utilitarian and there are tons of options where form and function can unite as one.
Clothes Hanging
- A half-hanging rod can easily be incorporated above a sink or unused space above a countertop.
- Hanging rods are great for drying items or hanging up freshly ironed clothes.
Storage/Broom Closet
- An excellent way to store cleaning supplies of varying heights.
- Allows for all items to be organized in one space and provides easy access.
Ironing Board
- Many different types of ironing boards are on the market in different sizes.
- Custom pull-out ironing boards can be installed to save on space.
- A more cost-effective option is to have adequate storage for a folding ironing board. Whether this is kept in a storage cabinet or hung on the wall, we would recommend making space for this in your laundry room.
Deep Countertops
- Depth is essential if your countertops are above your machines.
- Deep countertops allow for lots of room for folding items.
- Countertops don’t need to break the bank and cost-effective materials can be used as they don’t get much wear and tear in a laundry room as they would in a kitchen.
Lots of Storage!
- Utilize every inch of the room and incorporate as much storage as possible, you can never have too much!
- Full-height storage cabinets are great for brooms and vacuum cleaners.
- Adjustable shelves within cabinets are great because they allow versatility for storing items, such as clothing, shoes, and supplies.
Feature Materials
- Whether it be tiles, millwork, or other finish materials, don’t be afraid to upgrade certain items to make a bold statement.
- Laundry rooms are often hidden and allow homeowners to have more fun with the design and be bold with colour selections and patterns.
- Invest in materials that are easy to maintain and clean.
