Laundry Room Paint Advice - Cottage/Craftsman

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

Currently priming our laundry room in our 1940s craftsman/farmhouse. The home exterior is white with a red roof. Throughout the rest of the home it is original dark wood floors and dark walnut trim.

We are looking for a paint color or other ideas that would help turn this plain laundry room into something that fits our vibes (see below). This room also has an exterior door so it serves as our mud room as well. We will also be painting the cabinets.

Considerations:

- We do not want to redo the floors

- We do not want to paint the walls green

- We want to keep the trim white to match the wood window blinds

- Our washer/dryer is on the opposite wall from the window and are both white with a white ikea countertop on top.

I have plans to add a walnut coat rack with dark metal hooks and need to figure out a similar solution for clothes/shoe storage that fits the looks we are going for.

Vibes

- craftsman

- cottage

- mid-century

- academic

Any color but green is a lot. I would start by removing the miniblinds and finding curtain panels in a pattern/color you love. Then pick a color based on the curtains.

If you don’t do something about those cupboards, I think the vibe is still gonna be off.

@Jilly What fantastic ideas!!!! I love them, I also just bought an accordion rack we plan to put in there so you are 100% reflecting our initial ideas!

Funny thing is I also have one of those carts in white - thinking I may paint it black to make it look clean and show less dirt.

I love that print and it would tie in the gray of our floor too. We really dislike our floor so covering it up sounds like the best approach.

I love the overhead light ideas, the one we have in there is original to the house, but seems very small for the space and is etched glass, it is a neat fixture it it's own right, but seems small.
