10. Bold and Beautiful
E+E Design Consulting cheered things up in this tight Denver laundry space with patterned floor tiles, bright blue cabinet paint and knurled brass accents. Stacked washer and dryer units free up room for a sink and cabinets. A bonus is a tiled niche for pet bowls complete with its own faucet.
When approaching a remodel of this 1960s modern home in London, Fraher & Findlay Architects embraced Scandinavian modern simplicity. In the laundry room, the light wood slab-front doors and gridded tiles embrace the style. Form followed function with the inclusion of a sink, folding space and drying rods.
In this multifuntional Phoenix mudroom and laundry room, McIntyre Development let the light in with windows that wrap a corner. Playful graphic elements in high-contrast black and white include square-dotted tile flooring and a dotted stripe wallpaper. A farmhouse sink does double duty for washing and flower arranging, and undercounter space provides a spot for a rolling hamper. But perhaps coolest of all is the arched opening to a pet door.
In this Chicago-area laundry room by M House Development, a dark stone countertop, mosaic tile flooring and two-tone cabinet scheme in black and cream allow the futuristic-looking black appliances to virtually disappear. Gold details and shiplap wall paneling elevate the sophisticated style.
5. Star-Studded
Star-patterned floor tiles add a playful touch to this Chevy Chase, Maryland, mudroom and laundry room by Case Architects & Remodelers. Blue-green tiles perk up the space even more, while high ceilings and a large window on the door create a light and airy feel.
4. Smooth Edge
Within this soft and pretty San Jose, California, laundry room, KBG Design struck a few well-edited industrial notes. While the main palette is a calming sage, white and brass, the matte black faucet and drying rod made of pipes add a bit of edginess.
3. Country Comfort
This house by Nicole Forina Home in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, is full of bright color and lively patterns. However, the laundry room has a more subdued palette, with soft green-gray cabinets, sweet wallpaper and a farmhouse-inspired light fixture lending calm country comfort. Meanwhile, the bold pattern on the floor hints at the rest of the decor that awaits beyond this mud-laundry room entry.
2. Balanced Textures
Kelsey Leigh Design balanced a pleasing mix of textures in this Oklahoma City laundry room. Tongue-and-groove paneling, Shaker-style cabinet profiles, marble countertops, a harlequin tile floor, warm wood shelves and antique brass accents work beautifully together.
Green cabinetry, tropical wallpaper and Moroccan tile flooring freshen up this Dublin, Ohio, laundry room by Dave Fox Design Build Remodelers. Raised machines with pullouts for laundry baskets make loading and unloading easy and ergonomic. A wall-mounted table can be folded down and out of the way when not in use.
This house on Lake Michigan has a calming, subtly coastal-inspired palette throughout, and Beth Howley Creative kept the vacation vibes going in the laundry room. A porthole-shaped window, a sand-colored woven wallcovering and patterned blue floor tiles ensure the space is a pleasure to do laundry in.
