Not many give a second thought to the laundry room. Making it comfortable and appealing will alleviate the monotony of doing the laundry. Taking the time to make a space that is seen as the workhorse of the household look like it belongs takes very little time, effort and cash. A well organized and lit laundry room can help you to beat the doldrums of having to complete the necessary chore. Read on for tips to make your laundry room a more inviting space.
1. Laundry rooms in general have the most uninspiring wall colors of any room in the house. They are generally bland, flat beige or some equally horrendous color. The room's color scheme seemed designed to induce fatigue. Spice it up with a bright, vibrant color scheme. It's the laundry room for Pete's sake; dare to be bold and innovative in its motif. Besides not many people will be seeing it anyway.
2. Paint a mural on the wall behind the appliances. Give your eyes something interesting to do. While you fold the clothes or iron. You could even go with a ocean front motif or beautiful candle lanterns with essential oils. Add large plastic palms or shiny glass vases to either side of the washer and dryer or paint a beach scene or use posters of beach scenes on the wall.
3. It is up to you to definer how you want the room to look. One thing you can do is to carry the theme of the kitchen out into the laundry room if it is attached in that manner. Cupboards and cabinetry can be matched to the ones in your kitchen. Make a display case for the laundry items, much like a china cabinet for the iron, fabric softener and bleach can be proudly displayed.
4. Storage bins and decorative baskets can be used to add texture and flavor to the room. If there are windows add an eye catching window treatment. Using items that are decorative but functional is the way to go.
5. Install shelving for additional storage space. You can also create an ironing nook. Choose an area and add track lighting and a drop down ironing board. Also install overhead tubing to hang the finished garments on. And a shelf for items that are ironed but do not need the benefit of a hanger.
Your laundry room does not have to remain a drab an uninviting place. You can make it a place of extreme functionality combined with comfort. Last bit of advice install a stereo system so you can have music while you work. The time will fly by and the task will seem less tedious in the interim.
