Laundry room with 3 exterior walls and 2 door entrances needs update.
Comments (4)It sounds like the best solution would be to buy a brand that will fit under the window. It would be more convenient to have them side by side and facing the same way. You could also get a window blind with bottom up capability if the new machines are too tall, so you wouldn't see it from the outside....See MoreNeed renter friendly ideas for outdoor laundry room.

Comments (8)it would be a bummer to eliminate that light source from the window. I'd be more keen on making that room as cute as possible so you're ok with looking at it. off to the right, hang a curtain to hide the water heater and clutter on that side. see if you can store your broom and mop next to it if possible. paint the cabinets. or get new ones that are deeper that can hold your giant laundry detergent. find 3-4 matching boxes to store things at the top. take down the curtain rod above the window. hang a big framed poster to cover the electrical panel. (if you bump into it, put some velcro command strips at the bottom corners so it doesn't knocked out of place.) most importantly: declutter and purge so you have the space to store what you really need to store in there. for example, those silk flowers? don't need to be in that room specifically. if you still must have doors for the laundry room, consider something with frosted glass to let light pass through. and be sure to get good bifolds. cheap ones are harder to open. they can get stuck easily or go off track and drive a person crazy, especially if you're the type to run in and out of there for things often....See MoreNeed Lighting Ideas for Small Laundry Room & Basement Stairs
Comments (6)Copy that! You may be able to keep what you have in place, but I would certainly make sure it has dimmer control so you're not over-bright in laundry. One additional idea for this laundry space would be undercabinet lighting (so simple now with LED strips or pucks) that's also dimmable. That might give you more targeted task lighting while working out a stain or soaking items in your utility sink without needing to reach for the overhead light. Alternatively, it could be helpful to consider moving the switched box location from overhead to the far wall (rt side, from in front of laundry units) that could help provide a beam angle into the laundry units over-shoulder for sorting and transfer, since there's less wall surface behind from that perspective that isn't shared with the hall area. In tall, narrow stair halls like this, I often recommend a plan of wall lamps that uplight the tall vault and bounce the light down into the pedestrian area versus directional beams down from overhead. When placed at the right elevation over and above personal height, they don't have to interfere with traffic clearances even in a super-tight space. Hope that helps, cheers!...See MoreRelated Professionals
