9. Tasteful Traditional
Glossy white brick set at slightly varying depths manages to look both old-world and completely fresh in this traditional laundry room in the Washington, D.C., area. Loial Home also went “updated traditional” with the dark star-and-cross tile flooring. As for practical features, the space includes a drying rod, a generous counter with rolling baskets underneath and plenty of closed storage. And anyone doing hand-washing in the sink won’t feel closed in, thanks to a nearby window with a view of greenery.

8. View Master
Katie Severns Design used woven cabinet fronts and glossy handmade-looking tile with subtle variations to give this San Francisco laundry room organic flair. But the clean lines, unobtrusive hardware and neutral palette convey a modern sensibility too. Copious cabinets keep unsightly elements off the spacious countertop. Note how the black washer and dryer draw the eye toward the black-frame door and its outdoor view instead of toward the room’s workaday interior. A rug helps pick up any dirt that might make its way in from the outside world.

7. Row With the Flow
Stacking the washer and dryer in this narrow laundry room allowed Sustainable Nine Design + Build to pack in a shelving unit along the side. The space, in a Minneapolis row house, also has closed upper and lower cabinets and baskets perched on an open shelf, to give every product a tucked-away place. A drying rod and sink round out the convenience features, while the palette relies on soft neutrals for ease on the eyes. As in the previous example, however, a striking black window frame cleverly pulls the gaze outdoors.

6. Checking All the Boxes
Grid-style lines help break up the plentiful white cabinetry in this New South Wales, Australia, laundry room by Horton & Co., but just enough to create interest and not interrupt any chore-time daydreaming. The flooring design has boxes of its own and contributes grounding stone-like colors, while small wall tiles in various beige and brown tones add a complementary touch and give the eye another place to land. A drying rod, a spacious countertop and open shelves with decor complete the picture.

5. Glow for It
Soft gray cabinetry and wall tile in varying shades of cream and beige give this Dallas laundry room by Jessica Koltun Home a soothing yet uplifting feel. Even the checkerboard floor is toned down from the traditional crisp black-and-white version. Washed in natural light, the space almost seems to glow from within. Gold-tone cup pulls and knobs add polish and shine, while an apron-front sink and its polished vintage-style faucet bring both a countrified feel and an aura of refinement.

4. Purple Reign
Eschewing a light and airy color palette in favor of deep purple cabinets, walls and millwork, April Gahagan of FS Design Group gave this laundry area a rich, layered look. Because the space, brought to life by Judd Builders in North Carolina, also serves as a side foyer, mudroom and pantry — a high-traffic area, in other words — the designer carefully balanced aesthetics with practicality. For instance, dragonfly wallpaper has been placed higher up, above sturdier wainscoting, to keep it out of harm’s way. And the flooring is durable brick, given an elevated look thanks to varying shades and a herringbone pattern.

3. Cottage Chic
Thoughtful storage meets farmhouse freshness in this Georgia laundry room. The space was designed by Megan Bolz of MB Designs and built by MDH Design & Build, which uses Houzz Pro to manage its business. The room has drawers conveniently placed next to the stacked washer and dryer, cabinets for detergent jugs and other large items, and a tall cabinet with an outlet for keeping cleaning appliances at the ready. Baskets under the counter can keep lights and darks or dirty and clean clothes separate. An extra-long sink offers plenty of room for soaking and rinsing. And the whole space is drenched in a soothing creamy white with a few contrasting elements for interest.

2. Hardworking Hub
The pretty blue-gray cabinet color and fun travel-celebrating wallpaper might catch the eye first, but Surrina Plemons Interiors and Laurel McAteer of Studio Haven Interiors incorporated more than immediately meets the eye in this basement-level San Francisco Bay Area laundry room. A laundry chute is hiding in those tall cabinets on the right, a full-size refrigerator and freezer (not seen) sit to the left of the sink, and a wine fridge has a home next to the sink.

1. Natural Beauty
Earthy green cabinets (Evergreen Fog by Sherwin-Williams) bring nature into this North Carolina laundry room by Susanne Ordonez of House of Maevie. But the space is far from untamed, with elegant hardware, beadboard-clad walls and white oak open shelves holding artwork and accoutrements. A built-in hamper offers convenience, while a stool can double as a waist-high basket perch or a place for resting between cycles.

Nestled into an alcove, this laundry area saves space without sacrificing utility or good looks. Design firm Paige Lee Interiors in Michigan set a countertop across the top of the units so it can hold baskets or be a base for folding clothes. A rod for air drying is tucked between two cabinets, which are closed to keep detergents and other items out of sight. An open shelf allows for decor, while a patterned floor with a bit of blue injects energy into the crisp black-and-white palette.
