Trending Now: The Top 10 New Laundry Rooms on Houzz
Get ideas from the most popular laundry room photos uploaded to Houzz this summer
Neutral schemes cleaned up the top spots this summer when it came to most-saved laundry room images. But just because they lack bold colors doesn’t mean they lack bright ideas. In fact, these laundry rooms fold a lot of different storage and workspace solutions into their layouts. Let’s take a look at the 10 most popular laundry room photos, as measured by the number of people who saved them to their Houzz ideabooks from July through September 2017, starting at No. 10.
9. Leave me hanging. Linger on this photo and you’ll eventually see all the different storage options the design team packed into the laundry room, including hanging rods in the corners to the sides of the washer and dryer.
“Everything is tucked away and has a space,” says Shelley Wehner, designer and owner of Cabinet Concepts by Design. This was possible through the use of custom cabinets.
The laundry room also has a peninsula, seen jutting into the photo, that acts as a folding table, wrapping station and crafting area.

8. Historic update. Like many older homes, this Connecticut house lacked storage in the laundry room. The team from Crisp Architects changed that during the home’s renovation.
The fact that the space serves multiple purposes, from laundry room to pantry, meant the team had to tuck in function anywhere they could. “We were able to create a bright, attractive space that is also practical and utilitarian,” says Jimmy Crisp, owner of Crisp Architects. One example of that is the hanging rack installed above the washer.
Wall paint: Super White, Benjamin Moore; washer and dryer: Maxima series, Maytag; flooring: ceramic tile; cabinet hardware: brushed nickel, Häfele; lighting: LyteCaster, Philips; window: Marvin Ultimate Casement, Marvin Windows and Doors

7. Out of sight design. Laundry is inevitable, but you don’t always have to look at it. That’s the idea the team from Kitchen Design Concepts brought to this Dallas home. “With all the closet doors shut and the ironing board folded away, you would not know this was the laundry room,” says Mary Kathryn Reese, owner of Kitchen Design Concepts. “Our clients love that this space can always be clean and tidy no matter how much laundry needs to be done.”
A favorite component is the fold-away ironing board. Other features, such as the red washer and dryer and laundry hampers on roll-out drawers, are concealed behind the wall of doors on the right.

6. Farmhouse fresh. Wall-to-wall white creates a crisp, clean look in this Houston kitchen designed by Fina Reisinger of Studio Delfina. All the while, it provides plenty of function with its gleaming farmhouse sink, open shelves and undercounter recess for a laundry basket.
Brent Zuber, president of Memory Builders, remodeled the space so the sink fit right under the window and so the washer and dryer could sit together on the other side of the room.
Wall, ceiling and cabinet paint: Snowbound, Sherwin-Williams; countertop: London Grey, Caesarstone; backsplash: offset brick, Savoy Mosaics, Ann Sacks; floor tile: cement tiles, Clé

5. Let in the light. A large glass door on the right keeps this room light and bright, making laundry a little more enjoyable. Linda Simons, director of LSA Architects, says this practical space also blends well with the rest of the home because she and her team used the same countertop material throughout.

4. Chores with a view. A long expanse of countertop shows off in this Minnesota home designed by City Homes and Martha O’Hara Interiors.
It also pulls together all the nice-to-have laundry room elements in one corner: a sink, side-by-side appliances, a hanging rod, cabinets and folding space.

3. Seaside dream. These homeowners have a handy solution for dripping clothes: an in-floor drain right under a hook. Contractors Thomas & Lord carved out a rectangle from the tile that could be used as a drain. Then, they installed rooks and racks above it so their clients can hang up wet items and let them air-dry.

2. Carved-out space. This laundry area proves you don’t need a completely separate room to have a lovely laundry space. Jetton Construction, Chambers + Chambers Architects and Amber Interiors joined forces to create this laundry cove in a San Francisco home, complete with countertop space and overhead cabinets.

1. Wallpaper ways. The walls in this laundry bring an added dose of joy to the space, while staying within a neutral color palette. The builders, Great Neighborhood Homes, also worked in ample counter space and large wheeled bins, making this a workable laundry for any family.

Beyond these material finishes, the homeowners have plenty of storage, a sink and a counter above the washer and dryer that serves as a folding station. Hayes finished off the room by adding large baskets under the windowsill.
