8. Sophisticated Farmhouse
In Austin, Texas, Haven Design and Construction personalized a laundry room for its clients with clean lines and textured pieces to create a look it describes as “urban farmhouse.” Black hardware and countertops stand out against beige cabinetry, and the patterned floor tile pulls the whole design together.
The laundry room also serves as a mudroom, so a built-in bench, storage baskets and wall hooks provide areas to hang bags and stash shoes.

3. Compact Cottage
This recently remodeled beach house in Hood Canal, Washington, had limited options for its laundry placement. The team at Allison Lind Interiors decided to keep the appliances in the same spot but add a custom cabinet — which doubles as an entry console — to make the laundry area a little more discreet.
Caned doors add decorative flair and also allow for the ventilation the washer and dryer require. The quartz counter serves as a folding table as well as an entry table. The shiplap shelf above the cabinets conceals the plumbing for the appliances.

2. Natural Neutrals
This laundry room from Next Level Remodeling in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, sits at the home’s entry, so it also needed to function as a stylish, hardworking mudroom.
The renovation team stuck with a light and neutral color palette to make the space feel as large as possible and used a floral porcelain floor tile for some pattern. A white oak counter provides a folding spot, and a small utility tub squeezes into a narrow gap between the appliances and side wall.
A display shelf behind the counter conceals the plumbing.

1. Classic Touches
As part of the remodel of this 1900s home in Victoria, British Columbia, Jenny Martin Design renovated the laundry room to create a luxurious feel while complementing the home’s history. “To do so, we introduced an inviting palette of rich whites and dreamy grays to highlight the architectural elements of the home, while classical finishes and custom millwork stay authentic to the home’s historical roots,” designer Adrienne Hempstock says.
The laundry area sits in a finished basement that’s also used for storage and as a mudroom. It features a vinyl tile floor, quartz counter, utility sink, hanging rod and white subway tile backsplash.
