Laundry Room Makeover
Comments (4)great space. if you look on Pinterest or here on Houzz, there will thousands of ideas. search, 'laundry rooms' or 'laundry room make over'. have no idea what style you like, so rather than posting 10 pics, narrow it down to something you like, then come back and post that if you need help getting to that point. I would start w/some updated lighting though. as for new cabinets, RTA would be ok in there. look for a stone remnant on craigslist, or a local stone fabricators shop. Determine if you want top or front loading. maybe a drop down ironing board, drying rack, etc....See MoreFarmhouse style laundry room makeover
Comments (21)Unless you have an abundance of storage for stuff like lightbulbs, your iron, starch, cleaning and laundry products, and whatever else people stuff into their laundry room cupboards, I'd stay away from open cabinets like the plague. An added cleaning burden, plus, scooting the cabinets up means you cannot easily reach things. Remember it's just a laundry room, let it be the workhorse it should be. Don't fall prey to the notion that every square foot of your home needs to conform to the current dictates of the design world-no matter how cool they might be. The shiplap is a dusting nightmare too. But yes, scrape that popcorn off the ceiling. It makes rooms look smaller and dirtier. IMHO, paint the cabinets white and the walls a warm but clean gray. Or a lovely sea glass, the sky is the limit if you paint the cabinets white. I love the idea of a countertop above the W/D and a skinny shelf above that-so functional! Butcher block will swell with moisture-I'd go with Corian or another solid surface material that won't break the bank. I'd stay away from tile and use vinyl flooring because it's easy and waterproof and you will never need to clean the grout. There are some incredible luxury vinyl flooring options out there. Check out Amtico. Amtico stone and wood flooring is so real looking. Also, if there isn't a second story above the laundry room, I would recommend a solatube-type skylight to brighten things up. These little round skylights are an amazing source of natural light, but are only the size of a dinner plate in the room's ceiling. Who wouldn't love that? An airy, bright laundry room is everyone's dream. Paint is the best way to go. Skip the complicated cosmetic upgrades and save money for a place in your home where a those charming details will make a real impact. Create a laundry room that frees you from spending undue time in it. Now that's my kind of laundry room! I'm not a word art fan but I saw this last week at Bed Bath and Beyond and thought it funny: The Laundry Room: Loads of Fun....See MoreLaundry room makeover
