The title of this project only makes sense when you hear our reaction upon first seeing this room. “Wow, this laundry room has as much space as a kitchen!” And it does. In fact, it probably has more storage than the average kitchen now that the project is complete!
What began as a dated 90s laundry room space became something functional and funky - an actual area of the house you’d want to spend time in doing household chores.

Our client needed a more functional laundry room, and we wanted to utilize the ceiling height, so we extended the cabinetry to the ceiling to give them more storage.
Because there was so much usable space in this room, we opted to have a little more fun in here. We chose a bold wallpaper from Copper Corners and two-toned cabinetry with brass pulls. The cabinets are a simple shaker-style that is elevated by the use of mesh metal inserts above the folding station.
While we wanted the look of marble, we also knew the the flooring had to be durable because of the washer and dryer, so we chose a luxury vinyl tile that was installed by Johnson Carpet One. It gave us the look we wanted along with the durability and without the maintenance of marble.
One of our favorite features in the laundry room is this penny round tile. As you walk around the corner into the center of the room, the penny round tile catches your eye with its color and texture and reflects the natural light streaming in from the window. We loved it for its color and repeated circular shape of the cabinet pulls.
We used this retro-inspired chandelier to add a little more drama. Lighting is art, and can enhance the room if chosen well.
Stay tuned for the finished mud room reveal coming soon.
