Laundry lockers. Here’s a clever idea from one of the year’s most popular laundry rooms, which is a multipurpose space that functions as a laundry room, entry drop zone, home office and place for storing sports gear. This solution won’t work for everyone, but with enough space, building in individual lockers can be a neat way to corral equipment for various children and their activities, including game time uniforms and gear. That way, dirty items can get dropped off here, cleaned, and stowed for the next game, all in one place. These lockers feature custom-built cabinetry and welded wire panels, according to Tim Brown Architecture. Of course, the feature that dominates the room is not the lockers but the metal slide.
Raised washer and dryer. The owners of this Cincinnati, Ohio, home complained about having to bend over to load and unload their machines, so designer Candice Mayhall at Sunday Home Interiors devised a plan for the front-load washer and dryer both to be raised. Beneath the two machines is storage. And yes — this setup required some extra work to guard against potential leaks. Mayhall made sure the storage cabinets underneath the washer and dryer were not attached to the rest of the cabinets, making replacement easier should those cabinets get damaged. Mayhall also left a few inches around the appliances to make things easier if and when the machines need to be moved.Read more about this laundry roomCabinet paint: SW 9109 Natural Linen, Sherwin-Williams; wallpaper: Garden City wallpaper in Putty Rouge, Walnut Wallpaper; wire hanging organizer: Marshalls; custom cabinets: KraftMaid
