Laundry Room: For Cleaning and Organization
Notes:
When it comes to remodeling, a luxurious laundry room is not the first thing that comes to mind. It’s usually awkward-shaped, hard to reach, and often hidden in a basement or attic.
But it doesn’t have to be! If you’re looking for a way to make your home more luxurious, consider giving your laundry space an overhaul.
Take a look at our list of 7 tips on how to make even the dullest rooms sparkle like diamonds:

1st:Step One – Declutter:
The first step to creating a luxurious laundry room is to declutter your current one. This means throwing stuff away.
- It is undoubtedly an option, but there are other ways to declutter that don’t involve being wasteful and can help you create more space in your home and make it feel cozier – selling your stuff online or giving it away.

- You can start by assessing what use daily and what items have been sitting around for months or years without being touched. Determine which items haven’t been in frequent use but you still need them. Then make sure these things are stored somewhere where they can be easily retrieved when needed.

1stb:Design Storage Around Your Necessities:
One of the things you should consider is to design storage around your necessities. You can always rent a storage unit if you have too much stuff to keep around.
A storage unit will also be helpful during the remodeling. There are many benefits of this, one of which is that your items won’t get damaged during the process.

Also, a storage unit will provide more space to create a luxurious laundry room without clutter. Placing extra belongings somewhere else will ensure you have plenty of room for all the things you need in the laundry room.
Once you know what you must have in this space, you must think about storage solutions. You should design storage according to your needs and wants. Focus on what works best for your lifestyle and fits your budget, space, and personal style preferences!

Finding the Luxury Touch:
So where do you find that luxury touch for a laundry room? Let’s begin by replacing your current linens with nice bath, bedroom and table linens. These linens all need to be washed after use – and the care you provide will keep them looking new for years to come.
Another tip is the use of curtains to soften the laundry room area – even if the room is tucked inside the home without any windows.
If your laundry room doesn’t have an outside view, consider a wall mural that shows your favorite beach or mountain side.

And finally, you need a nice rug that softens the touch – and likewise, brings in some color that brightens up the room and compliments the mural wall and other decor items.

3rd:Don’t Overlook Lighting:
Laundry rooms are often dark and dingy, but with some thought and effort, you can transform yours into something bright and inviting. For example, installing LED recessed lights throughout your laundry room will provide plenty of illumination without being harsh on the eyes.

- You might also consider adding a dimmer switch to adjust the brightness of your fixtures according to how busy the space is at different times of day or night.

More About Laundry Lighting:
You have three lighting types that are commonly referred to as the following:
-
General Lighting:
Start with general lighting – light that is used to illuminate the laundry room area. Perfect examples include ceiling mounts, semi-mounts, and recessed lighting.
-
Task Lighting:
Lighting that is used to perform a task – like doing laundry. You may need extra lighting for sorting, folding, ironing, and other laundry-related tasks. You could use recessed lighting and/or under-cabinet lighting when working at a folding counter.
-
Accent Lighting:
And finally there is accent lighting – lighting that accents the room such as night lighting around the cabinet and appliance area. Or if you would like to add some color, consider adding soft color lighting strips along the floor and walls.

- All you need is some creativity – this process doesn’t have to be expensive.

4thb:Create Counter Surface for Folding and Sorting Clothes:
To keep your folding area organized, you should have a surface on which to lay out clothes.
- Folding Countertop:
This could be a countertop that lays atop the appliances and/or base cabinets that is stationed along side the washer/dryer. - Table:
A simple table will do the trick. This could be a stationary table in the corner or a folding table that can be easily retrieved. - Folding Board:
You can find these on Amazon for around $20, and they come in different sizes so that you can choose one that best fits your space. They’re also great for keeping clothes folded neatly and securely as you sort through them. - Folding Chair/Stool:
If you don’t want a permanent fixture in your laundry room (or if it doesn’t fit), consider using an additional folding chair so that people can sit down while doing their laundry tasks! If there isn’t enough space, bring over an extra stool from another room. This way, everyone can relax while getting their chores done.

Needing Utility Sink:
Any functioning laundry room room should have a utility sink for for pre-washing and soaking stained clothes. Likewise, it can be used for delicate fabrics that require hand washing.
It can also function as the sink for cleaning items such as paint brushes, DIY tools and other items that shouldn’t be cleaned in the kitchen and bathroom sinks.

5th:Splurge a Little On Quality Appliances and Flooring:
If you’re going to be spending a lot of time in this room, it makes sense to splurge on quality appliances and flooring. Appliances are not only functional but can also become a focal point of the space.
- Flooring is another important area to pay attention to when designing your laundry room.
-

- Think about how many people will walk through the room daily, and ensure that the floor has some padding underneath, so it doesn’t feel like tile on concrete!
- This is an excellent way to balance the sparkle. Besides preventing it from being too much, it adds a visual aesthetic to the area. As far as lighting goes, it often gets overlooked when renovating rooms like this one, but it’s an important consideration if you want an airy laundry room instead of something dark and cramped.

View Appliances and Flooring:
How old are your current laundry appliances? Given the push and need for energy efficiency, perhaps it’s time to consider new appliances for your luxury laundry room design.
Energy efficient washers use less water to throughly clean your fabrics; and energy-efficient dryers use less electricity for drying./p>
And you can get these appliances coupled with smart technology for managing laundry no matter where you are located.

As for flooring, hardwood floors and carpeting is a no-no for laundry rooms. Any potential water leak or flood would damage your flooring.
The best flooring would be luxury vinyl or laminate planks. They look and feel just like wood. Or perhaps you might like a nice tiled floor in varying designs.
Luxury vinyl, laminate, or ceramic tiles are the best flooring options. And you can find any color and style that will work.
