Laundry Room Home Decorating

Would you match or complement the vanity?

In our new(to us) cabin, the laundry and powder room are combined. I have decided to make it an attractive space(with help from folks here of course) and not divide it or change the structure.

I have gotten the layout of the laundry section done but am stymied about the vanity. I’d like to have the vanity be a bit different than the cabinets in the laundry portion. I am planning on white corian counters in the laundry and the powder.

Here is the layout, the doorway between the powder and laundry will remain as an opening.

This is the new layout of powder and laundry space. I’ve removed the wall to get a good view.

And the view from the hallway.

I‘m thinking of ikea voxtorp for the laundry portion. With white corian countertop.

What would you do with the 30” vanity?

What is your style for the rest of the cabin? What is the floor?

The rest of the house is traditional mixed with modern. Kind of modern lodge? I don’t have any log furniture or bears or deer prints(which seems to be ubiquitous in cabins around here). Pic shows layout of main floor.

Pic showing some of the stuff in great room. Antique Persian rug, green velvet sofa, 2 leather recliners. Wicker chair is what is at kitchen table, but cushions are now black.

The floor in the laundry/powder is currently vinyl. We are planning to change to marmoleum.

Medicine Cabinet Options for 30" vanity: What would you pick?

Personally, I would opt for the 20"W x 31"H recessed. I prefer recessed medicine cabinets or flat mirrors. I think 20x30 would look fine with a 30" wide vanity. It won't be square like your inspiration picture, but rectangle looks good too. I have two rectangular pivot mirrors in two different bathrooms, one is proportionally narrower than the other and I like both.

We were in a similar situation. We have a gray stamped concrete patio (block pattern). We put in a light tan color Koolcrete (sp?) that's what it was called when we had it installed. On the link below they call it Frontier Desert Deck (don't know if it's the same product but a different name) It looks similar we have the Sand Buff Color. Looks good, stays cool, cleans up well. It's been installed for approx. 3 1/2 years. I would use it again. Here is a link that might be useful: frontier desert colors (scroll down)

What do you think of these option for tiles, vanity matching?
Q
Comments (5)
Hi all, thanks for feedback. As far as bringing tiles home, trying at home, the whole thing is under construction. There are no frames yet, but we need to decide quickly and put an order in. I did not know about issue with water stains on granite. They are permanent stains? Is it like etching marks we get on Marble, but not from water? How bad is it? On marble there are spots from water, but not permanent, while on my marble floor we have etch marks (white) probably from liquids that were dropped. It's possible the housekeeper didn't use the natural product I have given her to us. Thanks

To match/not to match floor tile and vanity

Hey. First of all good choice, I love grey! Second, I would go to none of these two options to be honest. I would say leave the grey floor tiles and go for an white, creamy modern vanity. It will look great. And if you already purchased your grey vanity you can easily paint it. If not i assume your floor tiles are dark grey right? If yes your vanity in the previous picture would definitely be the one.

When we remodeled our kitchen, we out in white cabinets but the island has espresso color cabinets. Our kitchen designer said out would look fine, and it does, but she strongly suggested our countertop be consistent tie it all in. Maybe that would work for you with both rooms?

You can do a wood vanity, just keep the countertops consistent.

Are you doing a pattern and color in the marmoleum? That would be nice with the neutral laundry. What flooring is in the rest of the house?

Since the Voxtorp is a clean, contemporary look you might want to pull some eclectic style from your living space. Before you look for a specific vanity knowing where you’re leaning is helpful.

Easiest might be continuing the neutral look with an Ikea vanity like this. You can do it with a corian top and vessel sink.

Or these styles would go with log walls.

Or a painted vanity , maybe a green that goes with your sofa?

Or really eclectic!

The rest of the house is hardwood (oak, medium brown). We don’t want wood in the laundry as that is where the dog water bowl is.

Im just doing a sheet linoleum, one of the speckled swirly ones lol.

What about a wood with a taupe type wash look?

Oh, I love the idea of a green vanity to bring in the sofa color! Then do the neutral linoleum?

Im not at the cabin today, I came home to pick up the sofa to take up tomorrow.

Here’s a pic when we brought the rug up. The furniture was just castoffs to use until we could get our furniture up. Blinds will be Seagrass romans.

Yes. I think it works better than the white washed wood which may be difficult to match with the color of the walls. It also may be a bit too grey to go with the beige Voxtorp.

And I guess if DH absolutely hates the voxtorp I can do green in the laundry room portion as well.
