12 years agolast modified: 12 years agoOurs is just small, practical and unfinished (I want a frame built around the appliances). Because it's pretty narrow, I had to resort to some underhanded methods to convince the builder to make that large niche so I can store detergents there.
What you can't see is the pull-out shelf in between the washing machine and the dryer; I can put the laundry basket there and fold the clothes straight out of the dryer.

12 years ago@ Laurel- your laundry area looks finished compared to ours. Looks like you have more height to work with than we do, our footprints are similar, however. We took away a small area from one side of our laundry to improve our kitchen. When finished, we'll remove the shelving opposite to the W&D as it feels claustrophobic as presently configured; a rod to line dry clothes will replace it. Wish the room had window light but that's not feasible.

PRO12 years agoThe laundry room is small. The unique solution Joseph came up with was to custom design an undersink storage that would accommodate the plumbing and provide sufficient, orderly, storage in a very attractive way! The success is shown here. The softness of the baskets makes the cool sleek steel grey washer/dryer combo work just perfectly.

- 12 years agolast modified: 12 years agoWhen we moved into our rancher 14 years ago, the laundry area was just an area in the garage with a washer, dryer and laundry sink. Over the years it became messy and junky and the hot water heater stuck out like a sore thumb. So, being full of Houzz envy, I set to work making the area just a little more pleasant to look at and work in. Hubby and I did all the work ourselves and saved a lot of money in the process. Here are before and after pictures...

- 12 years agoI have a multi purpose laundry room. The dogs have a Dutch door to keep them in "their" room and a doggy door to the outside as well as doggy wash and grooming area. I also have a sewing corner where I can keep my sewing machine out. A bonus is a secret door to my master closet so I can pull things out of the dryer and hang them right up!
- PRO12 years agoLOVE pet friendly rooms...Would love to see a mural on that wall adjacent to the washer, not necessarily in these colors, just picking up the vibe from the pattern of the rug....

- 12 years agoThis was a keep it simple, keep it clean utility room redo The better half wanted platinum for the washer/dryer and we chose a very light peach for the walls. A wire shelf below the hanging cabinet proves very useful. We also changed out the light fixture to brighten the area.

- 12 years agoI never thought I would say this but I LOVE our laundry room. I agonized over every decision and gave it as much thought as the rest of the house. We used marble floors and counter tops and I put a large piece of artwork in there too. Made it super pretty by adding a crystal chandelier, under counter cabinet lights, Swarovski knobs on the cabinets and even put the detergent and dryer sheets in pretty containers. It takes the drudgery out of doing laundry! :)
