We expect a lot from our laundry rooms. In addition to wanting them to be welcoming spaces, we also want them to accommodate a large number of tasks in what’s typically a small amount of square footage. But with the right design details, such as hanging rods, utility sinks, countertops for folding and dedicated storage for laundry baskets, these spaces can be incredibly functional and stylish. The following spaces offer plenty of inspiration for both. Here’s a countdown of the most-saved laundry room photos uploaded to Houzz in 2020.

9. Hidden Secrets
Interior designer Henrietta Heisler used a few tricks to maximize the storage in this York, Pennsylvania, laundry room. She bumped out the cabinets and shelves over the washer and dryer for two reasons. One, she hid the air vent in plain sight (it’s behind the open shelves on the right) and painted it to match the cabinetry. Two, it makes it easier to access items when standing in front of the machines.

The pros at JMH Designs punctuated this light gray Boston laundry room with touches of black for contrast. The backsplash adds pattern to the room, while the floor, faucet and hardware add just the right amount of dark details.

7. Warm and Whimsical
Walnut Shaker-style cabinetry and accents bring warmth to this transitional laundry room in San Jose, California. After getting to know her clients, interior designer Cathie Hong knew they’d be tickled by a whimsical cat wallpaper. The dark hexagonal floor tile adds a modern touch to the mix.
