<\/a><\/div>\ncopyright image by envato.com<\/a><\/p>\n Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are going to remodel – or build an extension or addition – that will become the laundry room area, let’s begin with an empty room where the laundry design will take place.<\/li>\n \tWith an empty room in mind, let’s configure a “rough sketch” of how to setup the room. This will include the following:<\/p>\n The plumbing will require both hot and cold water intakes – plus a drainage pipe for draining. This will require expertise to correctly install the necessary plumping.<\/li>\n Laundry rooms will need a dedicated circuit for operating electric dryers or a grounded circuit for gas-powered dryers. If gas powered, you will need to install a natural gas line to the laundry room.<\/li>\n The dryer needs an outside vent for heat and lint – this is an important feature to maintain the dryer unit and to avoid potential fires. Note that lint can be very flammable; and with drying heat and condensation, it’s best to vent outside to avoid any potential fire hazard or lint dust.<\/li>\n Now for lighting – you want the room to be bright and task oriented for the work at hand. You can use ceiling light – flush or semi mount – that illuminates the entire room. You might also consider task lighting – recessed, spot and under-cabinet lighting – for areas where folding or other tasks will be performed<\/li>\n \t\tThe best flooring is simple vinyl or linoleum – or if your budget allows, consider using luxury vinyl to give the floor a wood- or stone-like look. These flooring types are best in the event of a water leak and\/or damp clothes that are often discarded in the laundry room. Real wood or tile would be a maintenance nightmare to keep the floors looking nice.<\/li>\n Walls can be painted in your favorite color. Windows are nice to bring in fresh air – laundry rooms can become a bit stuffy depending on what is being washed. So if your laundry room is located in the interior home, you might consider a air vent or fan to air out the room.<\/li>\n Quik scroll to next topic about laundry room design …<\/p>\n <\/span> ideas to view and compare from the photo above<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n luxury vinyl flooring<\/a>washer drain pan<\/a>laundry room decor<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n\nSketching laundry room area – the design<\/h2>\n
