Transform Your Laundry Room With These Easy Laundry Room Ideas

The laundry room may be one of the most underappreciated spaces in your home. After all, it's one of the few rooms that is used exclusively for work, not pleasure. While cleaning, folding, and tending to laundry may not be your favorite activity to do at home, it's certainly a task that is both necessary and unavoidable. Perhaps designing a space that is both attractive and functional is just the thing that won't just make washing your clothes easier but more enjoyable, as well. With this in mind, check out these four creative laundry room ideas from Murphy Door to elevate your room in no time!

Freshen Up

When it comes to making small, uninspiring rooms in your home feel bigger and brighter, never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint. Rather than choosing a dark or dull color, be sure to choose one that is light and airy. Popular options include crisp blue, cool gray, or clean cream. 

If you'd love to make a bold statement in your laundry area without making it feel small or closed in, then consider creating an accent wall with playful wallpaper. Alternatively, choose a funky color, such as the Pantone Color of the Year "Illuminating."

You may be surprised by how better the space looks and feels with a simple change in color.

Keep It Practical

Sure, it's important for a laundry room to be stylish. But functionality should reign supreme in this space where everyday life occurs in homes both big and small. Staying organized is essential. To keep your laundry process streamlined and convenient from start to finish, consider incorporating these laundry room ideas all about storage:

  • Make separating clothing simple and attractive with wicker baskets.
  • Create a space-saving folding station.
  • Customize your cabinet space to meet your unique needs with extra bins, shelves, and supplies.
  • Maximize your space by retrofitting cabinets or installing hooks on the back of your door.
  • Include a bar to hang clean pieces.

Don't Forget the Floor

Chances are that you spend a good amount of your time each week in your laundry room, sorting, washing, folding, and more. So why not design it to be a space you look forward to stepping into? 

One easy way to accomplish this is to make the floor pop with unique colors, patterns, or designs. Decorating your laundry room floor is an easy way to give it an instant facelift without breaking the bank, whether you:

  • Choose a fun peel-and-stick tile.
  • Invest in some eye-catching area rugs.
  • Go all-out with an elaborate stencil-painted design.

Prioritize Storage

Along with looking fabulous and having plenty of space to sort and fold clothes, laundry room storage is a must. After all, your clothes aren't going to clean and iron themselves. A flush mount Hamper Door may be the perfect solution. 

Easily replacing any door, the pullout hamper stores soiled laundry between loads. Also, the fixed and adjustable shelves store laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and more. It easily conceals storage, creating the perfect place for vacuums, ironing boards, and more. Our quality hamper doors are customized to meet the specific size and style of your home. This ensures that your space is as gorgeous and comfortable as possible. 

Every room in your home should be beautiful and functional, including your laundry room. You don't have to be an interior designer to transform your ordinary spaces into places that are both attractive and practical with these laundry room ideas. Murphy Door can help make elevating your living spaces simple. If you want more ideas on how to enhance the beauty and functionality of any space in your home, then visit Murphy Door online today.
