People invest a lot in transforming their bathrooms to look like works of art, rivaling or coming close to celebrity bathrooms. You probably exhausted all efforts to make your kitchen look chic and sophisticated because after all, that’s where you prepare a lovely meal. But have you heard anyone say, “Don’t you just adore this laundry room?”
You most likely haven’t heard that phrase, right? Some homes don’t even have a dedicated laundry room to begin with! It’s usually placed in a secluded area, so what’s there to look forward to?
The laundry area, like the bathroom and the kitchen, deserves attention. All it needs is a few tweaks and it will look like a room you would never dread going into. You could even go as far as say it looks wonderful!
Don’t believe me? Here are a few tips to give your laundry the makeover it needs.
Play with Colours
Sometimes all your laundry room needs is a dash of colour. Is it looking tired and dull? Try painting it with bright colours. White is a common pick. If you have cabinets, try creating a wood trim or fabric drape.
Use That Vertical Space Wisely
The last thing you want to do is to have a wasted space. Are you making sure the vertical spaces in your laundry room are being used? By adding storage areas that are organised on top of another, it will make even the smallest rooms appear spacious and tidy.
Get Rid of All Clutter
Before you even plan on buying new appliances, you might want to consider removing what doesn’t belong in the laundry area. You might discover that you made it a storage area for everything else. Get those out and plan accordingly based on the actual space you have.
Upgrade with Wood Shelves
Wire mesh shelves look too industrial and flimsy. Replace them with wood shelves and that should instantly add a pop to the room. It’s a simple way of creating elegance even in a busy working area like the laundry.
Pick Laundry Baskets on Wheels
One of the reasons why people hate the laundry is because they carry baskets all the time. With laundry baskets on wheels, you won’t have to! You let it slide while you prance along. That feels relaxing, right?
Consider Built-in Wall Folding and Ironing Boards
One neat trick in keeping the laundry area organised is by creating built-in folding and ironing boards. You just unfold them when you need them and then fold it back against the wall after. No more carrying any bulky table for that matter.
Add an Attractive Chair or Stool
For a touch of sophistication, add an attractive chair that’s both pretty and ergonomically designed for the task in the room. Just because you’re toiling there doesn’t mean you can’t be comfortable! And it adds a focal point, making it feel relaxing.
And those are a few tips for you. There are more that you can do to upgrade the laundry area, but just take a few ones and you’ll instantly see a huge difference.
