What Houzz contributors are saying:
I'm typically not a fan of country - too kitschy and too old fashioned for my modernist sensibilities - but there's something very friendly and approachable about this countrified laundry. I like that there are some personal, decorative touches in the laundry room. While I do believe the space is best used for storage, when you've got a little extra room, why not add something decorative?
added by Becky Harris to How to Design a Laundry Room
Ah! Bright colors, vintage pieces, counter space and even a jar full of clothespins makes this an ideal place to wash clothes.
Install an old washtub. If you have a lot of clothing that you wash by hand or that needs to soak before washing then it's worth it to add a large sink or old washtub to your laundry space. No more washing the clothes in the family shower!
A laundry room really requires a small trash can for throwing out lint, dryer cloths, etc. Match the design of the trash can to the decor of the room for a put-together look.

Great laundry room! Love the punches of red...don't change a thing. :) But if you really wanted to...you could paint the M and probably the sink base, too.
1. Pick up secondhand finds. Don't worry about everything matching perfectly. English cottage style is all about mismatched, shabby chic.Find a worktable for folding laundry on at a local flea market. Sand it down and spruce it up with some paint — soft greens, baby blues or powder pinks always fit this style well.An old metal sink is great for this look, and these sinks are often nice and deep — great for hand washing items of clothing. Big white ceramic farmhouse sinks are a nice nod toward country style too.Add some personal touches such as a cute little vintage picture (a personal photo or some needlepoint art would look great); a green plant or a small vase of flowers would add something fresh. This vintage fan adds character, and the little lamp provides accent lighting and gives the space a homely feel.
