While there are many home remodeling projects you could do to improve your house, a rising trend is to upgrade the laundry room. The washer and dryer no longer have to be relegated to the basement or a small closet. Here is how you can design a great custom laundry room as part of your next home remodeling project.

Making a Custom Laundry Room Part of Your Home Remodeling Project

1. Provide Plenty of Storage Space

Storage space should be a top priority in the laundry room design. Built-in cabinetry will provide plenty of room for storing laundry detergent and other cleaning supplies. Floating shelves and laundry baskets will also make it easier to keep clothes, linens, and other items sorted properly.

2. Incorporate Everything You’ll Need for Your Laundry Routine

There’s more to doing the laundry than throwing clothes in the washer and dryer. Enhance your laundry room with features like a sink where you can work on tough stains, a countertop where you can fold clothes, or a tension rod between cabinets where you can hang ironed shirts. Make sure you have enough space for an ironing board as well. If you are working with a small room, a wall-mounted, drop-down ironing board will help reduce clutter. 

3. Bring in Your Personal Style

Once you have the functionality sorted out, it’s time to consider the style of your laundry room. Vibrant colored countertops, high-end backsplash tile, and patterned wallpaper are just a few ways to make the room more visually appealing. Adding a little decor that matches your personal aesthetic will make doing the laundry much more enjoyable.
