Revamping the laundry room brings a blend of functionality and style to an often-overlooked space. Upgrading appliances to energy-efficient models enhances efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. Custom cabinetry and shelving solutions maximize storage for detergents, cleaning supplies, and laundry essentials, promoting an organized and clutter-free environment. Consideration of ergonomic design, such as a folding counter or ironing station, streamlines tasks and adds a touch of convenience. Thoughtful lighting choices, perhaps with LED fixtures or natural light sources, contribute to a bright and inviting atmosphere. Flooring upgrades for durability, such as water-resistant tiles or easy-to-clean materials, can withstand the demands of laundry tasks. Ultimately, a remodeled laundry room not only elevates its practical functionality but also transforms it into a well-designed, efficient space that makes the often-dreaded chore of laundry a more pleasant experience.

The solution therefore was to create a unique, custom look using IKD Semihandmade’s Agave Supermatte Shaker doors on IKEA’s SEKTION cabinetry framework.Specifically, the custom cabinetry is featured above the custom shelving and the LG washer/dryer combo— ideal for detergent and other cleaning supplies.The custom shelving allows space for display items or other soaps as well, while adding a sense of warmth to the space and is complemented nicely by the quartz countertops (which their contractor sourced from a local colleague). The shaker cabinetry was also continued on the left side of the washer/dryer combo, providing additional storage and the soft, light blue hue is complemented by the white Mustee sink and the Kingston Brass French Country Faucet. That said,the biggest obstacle to completing the laundry room was the available size, Alexandra says. She explains: “It’s a very small space so we had to be very strategic about layout and design. Logistically, the countertop above the washer was the biggest challenge as it needed to be able to lift up in case the washer ever needed to be serviced.” Another issue was that since the laundry room is on the second floor, it was code that it sits in a custom pan. “The pan made it impossible to simply pull the machine out from underneath the countertop so our contractor installed a hinge on the back on the countertop,” she says. “It all ended up working perfectly!” she says.

What was originally a doorless niche and now looks like a linen closet is actually a well-disguised laundry area with stackable washer/dryer and plenty of storage for towels, laundry detergent and essential bathroom supplies.
