Alongside Tschida Construction and Pro Design Custom Cabinetry, we upgraded a new build to maximum function and magazine worthy style. Changing swinging doors to pocket, stacking laundry units, and doing closed cabinetry options really made the space seem as though it doubled.

Ample storage and function were an important feature for the homeowner. Beth worked in unison with the contractor to design a custom hanging, pull-out system. The functional shelf glides out when needed, and stores neatly away when not in use. The contractor also installed a hanging rod above the washer and dryer. You can never have too much hanging space! Beth purchased mesh laundry baskets on wheels to alleviate the musty smell of dirty laundry, and a broom closet for cleaning items. There is even a cozy little nook for the family dog.

Bedroom Suite

Tate Enterprises

In this garage addition we created a 5th bedroom, bathroom, laundry room and kids sitting room, for a young family. The architecture of the spaces offers great ceiling angles but were a challenge in creating usable space especially in the bathroom and laundry room. In the end were able to achieve all their needs. This young family wanted a clean transitional look that will last for years and match the existing home. In the laundry room we added a porcelain tile floor that looks like cement tile for ease of care. The brass fixtures add a touch of sophistication for all the laundry the kids create. The bathroom we kept simple but stylish. Beveled white subway tile in the shower with white cabinets, a porcelain tile with a marble like vein, for the flooring, and a simple quartz countertop work perfectly with the chrome plumbing fixtures. Perfect for a kid’s bath. In the sitting room we added a desk for a homework space and built-in bookshelves for toy storage. The bedroom, currently a nursery, has great natural light and fantastic roof lines. We created two closets in the eves and organizers inside to help maximize storage of the unusual space. Our clients love their newly created space over their garage.

Compact Laundry Room Renovation

Henrietta Heisler Interiors Inc

This little laundry room uses hidden tricks to modernize and maximize limited space. The main wall features bumped out upper cabinets above the washing machine for increased storage and easy access. Next to the cabinets are open shelves that allow space for the air vent on the back wall. This fan was faux painted to match the cabinets - blending in so well you wouldn’t even know it’s there! Between the cabinetry and blue fantasy marble countertop sits a luxuriously tiled backsplash. This beautiful backsplash hides the door to necessary valves, its outline barely visible while allowing easy access. Making the room brighter are light, textured walls, under cabinet, and updated lighting. Though you can’t see it in the photos, one more trick was used: the door was changed to smaller french doors, so when open, they are not in the middle of the room. Door backs are covered in the same wallpaper as the rest of the room - making the doors look like part of the room, and increasing available space.

Utilitarian spaces, such as transitional laundry rooms, seldom receive the attention they deserve. However, with just a little bit of planning and effort you can make your favorite laundry room ideas come to life. The addition of storage, a sink or even some simple decor can turn a transitional utility room into an enjoyable multipurpose space. Simplify your household chores by incorporating some of the following tips into your laundry room design: Because of their double- or triple-duty potential, transitional laundry rooms are a good investment for you and your family. After you purchase your washer and dryer, think about installing some built-ins for your cleaning necessities. If you still have room to spare, consider what else the area can be used for, and set aside corners, cabinets or shelves for other purposes. Once all the functional aspects are out of the way, you can finally incorporate those unique transitional laundry room decorating ideas to complete the makeover and liven up those mundane chores.

How do I add storage to my transitional laundry room remodel?

As you look to various transitional laundry room design ideas for remodel inspiration, remember to help it serve multiple functions by incorporating clever storage. Include built-ins, shelves and cabinets to store supplies like hangers, clothespins, sewing kits, irons and detergent —the leftover space can store pet accessories and seasonal items.

Making it a one-stop shop will ensure that all your chores get done at once — no excuses! Check out other’s spaces and pick out the laundry room ideas that make the most sense for your storage needs.

What else can transitional laundry rooms be used for?

If you have a smaller home, using your utility room for multiple purposes is a great space-saving technique. Because it often has an utility sink, it naturally is a great place to feed and bathe your furry friends. It also easily transitions into a mudroom, where you can store extra shoes, sports equipment and winter clothing. One of the best laundry room ideas for larger spaces is to use it as a small office — it can be a drop station for mail, cell phones and keys and even function as a craft or wrapping station. Think about what your family needs and incorporate those features into your laundry room design to start getting the most out of your space.

How can I decorate my transitional laundry room?

With plenty of laundry room decorating ideas to choose from, you’re sure to find something that speaks to you. Because there isn't typically a lot of counter space to spare, take advantage of your walls when decorating. Bright paint or wallpaper can help make chores pleasant, while fun transitional signs, posters, murals and wall decals can enhance laundry room designs of all styles. Think of your storage containers as transitional laundry room decor too; find bins, baskets and hangers with fun patterns and colorful fabrics to bring life to the space.
