2. ‘Colorful Rustic’Designer: Ana DonohueLocation: Park City, UtahHomeowners’ request. For this new-build home, the homeowners wanted a bold, bright color palette. “The trick to this design, and the design throughout the house, was marrying the surroundings of mountains and natural feel with the bold color direction they wanted to go [in],” designer Ana Donohue says.Style. “I would call this style ‘colorful rustic,’ since it includes the iron-and-glass sliding doors and the lacquer blue cabinets mixed with the floral wallpaper and bright colors,” Donohue says. Special features. Blue cabinets. Double washers and dryers. Sliding glass upper panels. Black Pearl brushed granite countertops. Adjacent gift-wrapping room. Designer secret. “Treat your laundry room like any other major room,” Donohue says. “It is a room that is used all the time and should be a place you would want to spend some time in.”Wallpaper: Osborne & Little; Sea Reflections cabinet paint: Benjamin Moore; architect: T.

Overhead clothesline. This laundry room in Stockholm, Sweden, contains a feature that is very practical for winter weather: clotheslines placed overhead to enable several rows of clothing to air-dry. This overhead line setup is common in Sweden and Switzerland. Clotheslines typically hang down from the ceiling low enough so you can reach the line and attach clothespins to secure laundry. Alternatively, you can place items on the lines using hangers, as this image shows. The radiator on the left, under the window, can blast some heat to help clothes dry faster. Some homes even have fans mounted to help the air circulate.Find a variety of clothesline typesFreeze-Dried Clothes? Houzzers Share Their Winter Laundry Tales
6. Wide and smart. This closet is about 4 feet wide, more than plenty of room for a broom. It’s worthy of attention not for its size, but rather for its efficient layout. The pullout drawers could be used to stash all manner of broom closet items, such as furniture polish, dusting rags and rubber bands.
