Add Furniture Details

This laundry space from Thistlewood Farms proves that laundry rooms don't have to be cold and unwelcoming. Capitalizing on the fact that the space is shared with a bathroom, the owner used traditional furniture elements to create a classic space that is still functional for laundry.

Go Bold

If you have a little more space to work with, you can create a bold look. Forget white or wood cabinets and neutral floors. This space pairs colorful walls and cabinets with bold floors and striking accessories. This is a perfect example of breaking out of the expected rules for a laundry room and creating a space you love to be in despite the chore of doing laundry.

Bright and Colorful

This laundry room layout is a common one. Just because it is typical doesn't mean it has to be boring. Adding wallpaper to the back wall brings in some fun and pattern. A unique light fixture makes things a little less utilitarian. Bold stripes on the floor are completely unexpected and welcome you in. The shelves provide the functionality of storage but also provide an opportunity to add some pretty accessories.
