WOW! IS THIS REALLY MY LAUNDRY ROOM? IDEAS 1 - 4


As a Realtor in the Chicago suburbs, I have seen several laundry rooms which have 2-3 washers & dryers! When you have a large family, clean clothes keep the family unit moving without waiting for soccer, baseball, gymnastic or just regular clothes clean. I love the fact you can say good bye to the dry cleaners...take the clothes out of the dryer, give them a few shakes and hang them, no wrinkles ;).

Gain storage space with cabinets by adding a stackable washer/dryer. Add a splash of color to the room by purchasing either a ravenous red or cobalt blue washer/dryer. Check out the cubbies on the right which can be used for shoes, mittens, hats or maybe wine?

Ahhhh, I'm really liking ALL the features of this laundry room! The classic farm door accented with a color opens together as one door or bottom half remains closed and top remains open, great for keeping a close watch on your laundry or dog. Say good bye to that claustrophobic, confining dog cage and "Hello" to a natural environment. Rover couldn't be happier!

This laundry room is paradise! White carrara marble tops, framed cabinets host front load washer and dryer. My favorite the farm sink, great for washing dirty pets or soaking stained clothing. This room is a laundry room, craft room, or spacious enough to start plantings for your garden!

WOW! IS THIS REALLY MY LAUNDRY ROOM? IDEAS 5 - 8


So many attention to details in constructing this laundry room which home owners do not consider but, should. Bonus 1: side by side washer/dryer, no big deal but...see how the door to the washing machine door opens to the left and the dryer door opens to the right? Bonus 2: washer and dryer are elevated, easy on your back and include drawers for storage. Bonus 3: drying racks which retract.

Dog friendly laundry room! Installing a shower keeps those muddy paws from making foot prints around the home! Towels and soap are within an arms reach, ceramic tile floor for easy clean up and when the pooch is "all clean", toss the towels in the washing machine. Life couldn't be simpler! BONUS: A fresh smelling pooch(s).

Have a sun porch or 3 season room which sits idle most of the year? Now is the time to make max it out by converting it into a laundry, craft, office and mud room. P.S. Your kids will never leave your side. I love the fact that all the space is optimized with storage cabinets and bar lighting.

Great use of a former closet! Remove doors, add side by side washer/dryer or stackable (choose your favorite color) and shelves or cabinets and counter top and...VOILA, instant laundry room!
