What Houzz contributors are saying:
Strategy A: White + Light Color1. Pale aqua and white. One formula for a soothing laundry space is to start with white and then add a light color to your cabinets or walls. What could be more relaxing than a watery blue that evokes the beach? The cool blue wall color here recedes, making the room appear larger. The wainscoting adds texture, and its white color does a great job of reflecting light around the room. Blue flowers and the jars of white detergent maintain the color scheme.Browse sinks on Houzz
“If these top photos are any indication, 2015 will continue to be the era of the drying rack.” — Mitchell ParkerLast year was the year of the laundry room; the space has expanded exponentially and is getting the same finishing treatment as the kitchen, with elements like natural stone floors, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry and beautiful backsplashes. Stations for wrapping, crafting and washing pets are now a part of these rooms. But out of all the glamorous and luxurious touches, I like the simple throwback, the drying rack. It’s one of those ideas our grandparents knew all about, probably because they didn’t have dryers. Drying racks keep your clothes from shrinking and save energy. And they look charming, at least in the staged photos (as opposed to when they are chock-full of mismatched socks and tighty whities).Full story: 8 Laundry Room Ideas to Watch for This Year
Drying Racks If these top photos are any indication, 2015 will continue to be the era of the drying rack. This 10-foot by 18-foot galley-style laundry room, by Rabaut Design Associates, was one of the most popular laundry room photos in 2014. What did users love about it? Well, almost everything, from the five custom-designed drying racks — two of which have beadboard backing — to the apron sink and Rainwashed paint color on the walls. Wall paint: Rainwashed; millwork paint: Snowbound semigloss; ceiling paint: Spare White, all by Sherwin-Williams; sink: Gilford Apron-Front, Kohler
