How do I add storage to my 1950s laundry room remodel?

What else can mid-century modern laundry rooms be used for?

If you have a smaller home, using your utility room for multiple purposes is a great space-saving technique. Because it often has an utility sink, it naturally is a great place to feed and bathe your furry friends. It also easily transitions into a mudroom, where you can store extra shoes, sports equipment and winter clothing. One of the best laundry room ideas for larger spaces is to use it as a small office — it can be a drop station for mail, cell phones and keys and even function as a craft or wrapping station. Think about what your family needs and incorporate those features into your laundry room design to start getting the most out of your space.

How can I decorate my mid-century modern laundry room?

With plenty of laundry room decorating ideas to choose from, you’re sure to find something that speaks to you. Because there isn't typically a lot of counter space to spare, take advantage of your walls when decorating. Bright paint or wallpaper can help make chores pleasant, while fun retro signs, posters, murals and wall decals can enhance laundry room designs of all styles. Think of your storage containers as mod laundry room decor too; find bins, baskets and hangers with fun patterns and colorful fabrics to bring life to the space.
