Laundry Room Makeover Help
So top picture is what i'm working with - i think it's possible to do a lot here - the second picture is an idea of what i'm going for - blacks/golds/geometric/art deco-y dark glam..... the light has to go for sure, i'm thinking maybe paint the shelving units black?? Umm rod in between them.... chandelier flush with the wall up top...? Some cool backsplash or peel and stick wallpaper (i think that's what it's called?) also love the idea of a red accent color..... or even animal print! i'd love any help/ideas anyone has. I'm trying to make this house more "digestable" and start doing piece at a time....many thanks in advance
.....
would love to do some of the counter top ideas i've seen, but with the way the washer loads i think that's out....i also have a decent little area behind that I could probably use for storage somehow? it's tucked out of the way and almost being used as a hideaway dump at the moment :(

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 MoreLaundry room makeover
Comments (3)you have the perfect room to try something cool. I'd paint those cabinets and get modern hardware...See MoreLaundry Room Makeover
Comments (15)I'm 5'1" and have a stacked full-size Electrolux pair in a laundry closet off the kitchen. I have a large island in the kitchen that I use for folding. Not an optimal arrangement, but I'm older than dirt and do a lot of laundry. This arrangement avoids trips to the basement which are hard for me. I have no problem reaching the controls. Occasionally, something will get stuck in the back part of the dryer. I just use the mop handle to move the item within reach. DH is tall and doesn't like bending over to get things out of the washer. I do most of the laundry, so this isn't a show-stopper. I would not build a frame around the w/d. It makes maintenance harder and limits your options if you have to replace an appliance. I'd go for counter space with an open area below for shoes and a small ottoman that could be pulled out if one needed to sit. I'd put coat hooks on the wall between the doors to the house and garage....See Morelaundry room room makeover help
Comments (11)I think blush pink walls would look great with the neutrals you have in there. Consider adding some art on the walls and maybe a nice colorful rug too. I'm not a plant expert, but I imagine some low light loving plants could survive without a window (at least for some time) and would bring in some color and life to the room. Plus green looks great with blush pink....See MoreAmanda Spears

i actually made a little progress today!
obviously the second is a poor photoshop effort, and the diamonds are way smaller - i've been stuck on what storage bins/baskets to do....i want to incorporate a red accent..... the fact that these shelves are not symmetrical makes me CRAZY! there's enough room in that little nook (at the top of the stairs) to do a little storage cart or something...but i'm not sure what to put in/on the shelves.... candy red wire / wicker baskets?! canvas? alternating?! maybe just some gold vanity trays and a red blind?! gahhhhhh :(
