Essential tips for laundry room design
We have deep information about all types of laundry rooms. Let’s explore all the new ideas and designs of the laundry room. We don’t recommend you design the laundry room with these ideas. We are going to have some basic and advanced ideas for the laundry room so you can select it according to your desires or you can customize it.
Materials selections:
Your laundry room is just prepared for washing the clothes. So you have to select a high-quality material that will be durable and stored.
Utility sink: You have to choose the stainless steel sink for the laundry room because it is much stronger and more durable than the clay or other type of sink.
Washer and dryer: The laundry room is designed one time during the construction of a house or the renovation of the house. So you have to choose the best size and better quality washer and dryer machine and fit them into the house.
Countertop: Select the quartz countertops that are saved from scratches and away from the bribes. Quartz countertops also increase the beauty of the laundry room.
Floor: Vinyl flooring is the best option for the floor of the laundry areas, it saves you from slipping and it is also durable and cost-effective.
Install a folding station
Folding is the main part of the laundry room which saves the space and time to do the extra work. After washing and drying your clothes you can fold them immediately at the same place. It does not take much space, you can fold it beside the washer or dryer.
Install a Drying Rack
You must have to install a drying rack which can help you to save your clothes from rashes. When you take off your clothes from the washing machine then you need a rod for hanging the clothes. So, you have to install the rod on the top of the washing machine.
Maximizing storage space
To maximize storage space you have to add shelves above the washer and dryer to keep your laundry supplies organized. Use baskets or bins on the shelves to store smaller items neatly. You can also hang hooks on the walls to hold things like bags or cleaning tools and put a rack to hang clothes for drying.
Add creative storage solutions:
Add shelves to store the detergents, fabric softener, and other necessary elements for laundry. You also have to add hooks to hang cleaning tools or small baskets for socks and clothespins. And then using the space above your washer and dryer for a countertop gives you a space for the folding stations.
Utilizing overhead cabinets
The cabinets above the washer and dryer can be utilized to store clothes socks and sock pins also. You can also store the dryer clothes in the cabinets.
Energy-efficient washer and dryer
Choose the best quality washer and dryer for saving electricity. The efficient washer and dryer are free from noise and save you time. Let’s explore who wants to save energy, time, and space.
Stylish decor and color schemes
Decorate your laundry room area with a stylish design and good color scheme that attracts the user’s eyes. You can make your room more light and airy. You must avoid these color schemes (Orange, Dark pink, Dark brown). We recommend you choose the light color for the laundry room because they take a long time to get dirty and look amazing to the guests.
Add good patterns and textures:
You must have to follow the best pattern and textures to create the ideal laundry room. Because an ideal laundry room fulfills all the desires of the homeowner. Like a color scheme and lighting, fixtures add to the values of the laundry area.
Smart laundry sensors
You must have to add the small laundry sensors in the laundry room. You can add the sensor with your devices that updates your dryer and washer. These sensors alert you after completing the round of washer and dryer. You don’t need to repeatedly see the washer whether your clothes are washed or not, you just need to fix the alarm.
Note: If you are pet lovers
Create a pet washing station
If you are an animal lover then you must have to create a small space in the laundry room for pets. You have to install a deep sink for bathing the pet. You can save their things in one small cabin to save from mixing their materials and clothes detergents in the laundry room.
Optimise lighting
Good lighting is essential in a laundry room. You have to install a window for lightening and air. You don’t need to install expensive lighting in the house, but you can manage it through your planning or having natural light.
