The laundry room was considered only for its functionality, but this is not the case anymore. I have seen a lot of home décor bloggers stepping into the trend of turning their small laundry rooms into a stylish and functional area.
The space is aesthetically pleasing and organized, making laundry time better and not a dainty job. From adding fresh colors to sticking with your home’s interior style, there are many things you can do in a small space. Let’s go through these ideas together and find what works for you.
Having a small laundry room doesn’t mean it will affect its functionality. Stack a washer and dryer to save some space while allowing space for storage. This is my favorite trick for making the space more functional. I did this in my own home and am so happy with the results.
A laundry room doesn’t only have to serve its purpose. It can be a small but stylish space that fits the overall style. Yes, I know you might think there is no space for decor. You might not have enough space to put all the knicks and knacks. However, you can always go with bold wallpaper. It works wonders in small spaces that lack character. So, whether you prefer a bold geometric, floral, or polka dot pattern, there is always something to choose from. Add a stylish pendant light, and your space will be ready.
Since you cannot add decor, you should stick with aesthetic basics. Yeah, you heard me right. This means you should ditch the ugly plastic laundry baskets and invest in stylish ones. I like metal laundry baskets. They really have that modern farmhouse and industrial vibe. Plus, the small wheels make moving from the rooms to the laundry room easy. And I really love how they look in the corner of a small laundry room.
Built-in cabinetry provides ample storage for all of your necessities. And the gorgeous countertops are not there only for the good looks. You can fold your laundry and sort it out to make putting it away easier. Believe me, having a workspace in the laundry room really makes a huge difference. If you want to have the necessities nearby, grab some cute storage jars and store your powder detergent there.
Immerse your space in a luxurious ambiance with the deep, dark brown color of our floating shelves. This exquisite shade adds a touch of warmth and complements a variety of interior styles, from modern to traditional.
Using every inch of vertical space with shelving is a smart move. You get extra storage space for the necessities and a striking focal point. However, you should be careful with this one. Be intentional about what you want to display. Detergent pods go in special containers for aesthetics.
Does your small laundry room look cramped and packed? The lack of light might be the culprit in many cases. So, let’s fix it. I mean, windowless spaces might be tricky to work with. However, there are a few examples you should do. First, you should install a great overhead light to brighten the space. Next, you can add under-the-cabinet LED lighting to make every task so much easier. Plus, it will highlight the gorgeous backsplash.
A bold color will elevate a small laundry room. Yes, vivid colors will distract from the tiny size, resulting in a bold and fresh look. Maybe you’re going for a blue color that brings elegance, or you might want to inject a dose of energy with yellow.
If you want to bring visual interest to a space that looks boring, go with bold flooring. An interesting pattern will elevate the space and bring style. Yes, I understand that the ordinary white tile can look a bit sterile. This was a huge problem for me since the room looked so dull. But this is where the peel-and-stick tiles come in. When I saw them in the store, I thought they would be a perfect fit for my tiny laundry room. I picked a really bold pattern that fitted the overall color scheme. And the results? You get a mini makeover for a fraction of the price. I really love the fact that the peel-and-stick tiles are so affordable and available in different colors. You can install them yourself, making this a fun weekend DIY project.
Even though the laundry room is only considered for this purpose, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t add character. The easiest way to add personality is to decorate with an area rug. And you don’t have to spend big money on a charming piece of textile that adds warmth. Go with geometric patterns and bold colors to make the space look lively. I really love how a vivid rug looked over my pattern flooring.
Your laundry room can be stylish like the rest of your interior. Maybe you want to use the same material for cabinetry. And don’t forget to use striking hardware to match the space with your interior style. A colorful backsplash is something that a tight and cramped space is missing. Plus, a horizontal pattern will make the space visually larger. I’m thinking of peel-and-stick wallpaper as the perfect choice for this project. It is simple, easy, and DIY-friendly.
