Laundry Room / Mud Room

Aniko Nicholson Design

Nestled within the heart of a rustic farmhouse, the laundry room stands as a sanctuary of both practicality and rustic elegance. Stepping inside, one is immediately greeted by the warmth of the space, accentuated by the cozy interplay of elements. The built-in cabinetry, painted in a deep rich green, exudes a timeless charm while providing abundant storage solutions. Every nook and cranny has been carefully designed to offer a place for everything, ensuring clutter is kept at bay. A backdrop of shiplap wall treatment adds to the room's rustic allure, its horizontal lines drawing the eye and creating a sense of continuity. Against this backdrop, brass hardware gleams, casting a soft, golden glow that enhances the room's vintage appeal. Beneath one's feet lies a masterful display of craftsmanship: heated brick floors arranged in a herringbone pattern. As the warmth seeps into the room, it invites one to linger a little longer, transforming mundane tasks into moments of comfort and solace. Above a pin board, a vintage picture light casts a soft glow, illuminating cherished memories and inspirations. It's a subtle nod to the past, adding a touch of nostalgia to the room's ambiance. Floating shelves adorn the walls, offering a platform for displaying treasured keepsakes and decorative accents. Crafted from rustic oak, they echo the warmth of the cabinetry, further enhancing the room's cohesive design. In this laundry room, every element has been carefully curated to evoke a sense of rustic charm and understated luxury. It's a space where functionality meets beauty, where everyday chores become a joy, and where the timeless allure of farmhouse living is celebrated in every detail.

Remodeling a "Remuddle"

Home Glow Design

This 1790 farmhouse had received an addition to the historic ell in the 1970s, with a more recent renovation encompassing the kitchen and adding a small mudroom & laundry room in the ’90s. Unfortunately, as happens all too often, it had been done in a way that was architecturally inappropriate style of the home. We worked within the available footprint to create “layers of implied time,” reinstating stylistic integrity and un-muddling the mistakes of more recent renovations.

Farmhouse Fresh

Kustom Home Design

This new home was designed to nestle quietly into the rich landscape of rolling pastures and striking mountain views. A wrap around front porch forms a facade that welcomes visitors and hearkens to a time when front porch living was all the entertainment a family needed. White lap siding coupled with a galvanized metal roof and contrasting pops of warmth from the stained door and earthen brick, give this home a timeless feel and classic farmhouse style. The story and a half home has 3 bedrooms and two and half baths. The master suite is located on the main level with two bedrooms and a loft office on the upper level. A beautiful open concept with traditional scale and detailing gives the home historic character and charm. Transom lites, perfectly sized windows, a central foyer with open stair and wide plank heart pine flooring all help to add to the nostalgic feel of this young home. White walls, shiplap details, quartz counters, shaker cabinets, simple trim designs, an abundance of natural light and carefully designed artificial lighting make modest spaces feel large and lend to the homeowner's delight in their new custom home.

Laundry Room Design Ideas with Green Cabinets and Red Cabinets

Laundry designs seldom receive the attention they deserve, especially considering how often they’re used. A well-planned laundry, complete with built-in cabinets, a laundry sink, washing machine and clothes dryer, can serve many needs. It can help simplify your household chores; store drying clothes and cleaning products; and can even provide a spot for you to groom pets. Because of its hardworking, multipurpose potential, a laundry renovation is a worthwhile investment. Smart laundry designs have layouts that save you time and effort. For example, a washing machine and clothes dryer should be positioned next to one another or stacked, and laundry baskets and hampers should be within easy reach; while an ironing board should be stowed by a power point. Ample storage, bench space for laundry baskets and practical lighting are also essential. Browse the photos on Houzz for efficient laundry ideas, from layouts and storage to appliances, and strike up a conversation with the designers of your favourite laundry renovations.

How do I add storage to my laundry?

A combination of storage solutions is key to running an efficient laundry. Include shelves above or beside the washing machine to store washing detergent, softener and other cleaning products; and laundry bins for dirty clothes. Consider a custom-built cupboard for an ironing board, so it can easily fold out when you need it, or mount the ironing board directly to the wall or on the back of a door. A retractable clothesline is a handy addition to dry delicate clothes, while a clothes hanger mounted to the wall is ideal for hanging freshly pressed shirts.

What else can I use my laundry for?

Multipurpose laundry rooms or utility rooms can help save valuable space in your home. The laundry sink can be used to bathe your furry friends; your laundry cupboard can store sports equipment, gardening tools and umbrellas; and a spare nook can be filled with a desk and chair to create an office space while you wait for your load to finish. If your laundry is at the front of the house, consider using it as a drop station for mail, mobile phones and keys. Include a bench seat or stool, wall-mounted hooks for bags and a coat stand and it can even be used as a place to get the kids organised before you walk out the front door.

How can I decorate my laundry?

Laundries are usually filled to the brim with appliances and storage, so take advantage of your walls when decorating and use cheery paint colours or wallpaper to make doing the chores more pleasant! Fun signs, posters, murals and wall decals will also add character to the space. Think of your storage as decor, too – look for bins and baskets with decorative touches, and use brightly-coloured or patterned hangers.
