Updated on
We know that the general impression of a laundry room is that it's not a place to attract or impress but rather just a functional space that possess no aesthetic attributes. This article should change your mind and help you gain a new perspective on how stylish and cool a laundry room can be and possibly inspire you when designing your own.
Here's a peek on the most stylish laundry rooms presented in this article
A Few Tips and Pointers
-when designing your own laundry room make sure that you foresee all the steps in the process of washing clothes and organize the space accordingly so that you won't get a clustered one; it will make your work much easier;
-don't have enough space for every appliance? Don't worry, there are a few space saving solution that might make everything fit like stacking the dryer on top of the washer(leaving space for a narrow cabinet) or using the seemingly unimportant space behind the door (which can be used as a depositing area for detergents or clothes);
-you might also place a counter top above the washing machine and the dryer as that space is usually lost; by doing so you'll get a nice surface on which you can fold clothes and part socks once, making your job easier);
-make sure that you have enough light too as it's rather uncomfortable doing laundry with not enough of it; natural light is preferable but if there's no window install more light bulbs and consider illuminating the places where you sort and fold clothes separately;
-one last advice is to look at your laundry room not as a space where you won't spend much time and there's no need to achieve a stylish and beautiful design but rather as a room where a few warm colours and materials might just make your work less undesirable;

Fashion Styled Laundry Room
This picture shows exactly how a proper laundry room should look like. The design is artistic yet simple and clear and there's plenty of natural light. A small but very effective touch is the way the washing machine and dryer were elevated to achieve an easier reach. In this sense the best case is to raise them by at least two feet but it's better still than placing them directly on the floor.

The cabinets are of course the main attraction of this design as they look very modern and match, as it rarely happens, the machines.
