Whether laundry is your least favourite chore or not, we've all got to do it, so why not do all the washing and drying in a stylish space? And just because the mudroom seems to be a drop-off zone for your home, doesn't mean it can't have its own look. Your mudroom, or perhaps a combination of that and a laundry room, could be the first thing you see when you walk into your house so it needs to make a strong first impression.

Here are a few things to consider when renovating your current laundry area or mudroom, or if you're looking to start new:

Smart Storage

From cleaning supplies to towels and linens, cabinets are essential to maintaining an organized laundry room. This laundry room pantry has plenty of storage to keep supplies tucked out of sight, while having dishware on-display as a decorative touch.

Incorporate built-ins to prevent clutter and to keep your housekeeping essentials or jackets cleverly concealed. This mudroom uses up an ample amount of wall space, perfect for storing boots, hats, coats, and anything in-between.

Practicality

Strategically placed clothing racks and ample folding space create an easier, streamlined routine. This room is a great usage of countertop space for easy loading and unloading, and organizing clothes.

When it comes to mudrooms, consider adding a seating area for slipping off and tying up shoes. A stylish bench found here is boasting some beautiful craftsmanship and not only useful for slipping on boots, but it makes a great statement piece.

Appliances & Fixtures

Add a modern washer and dryer plus a sink and fixtures. Take the opportunity to select space-saving appliances that appeal to your aesthetic but also get the job done efficiently. The homeowners selected a large sink, convenient for when clothes need to be spot-cleaned. A stackable washer and dryer were also chosen to open up the path of foot traffic.

Selections were made with the homeowners' furry friend in mind. The right shower fixtures and tile were essential to be able to pamper this pup properly.

Paint Colour, Finishes & Decor

Complementing your laundry room’s design with just the right decor will give you all the motivation you’ll need to get to washing, drying, and folding. The homeowners chose a bright yet contrasting colour palette, along with some inviting touches to make this space a little more welcoming to a day of house chores.

Don't forget to bring some life to your mudroom with some striking patterns or paint. After all, it is the first thing your guests will see when walking in the front or side entrance. Another similar paint colour was used here on the built-in cabinetry, but what really catches the eye is the floor tile.
