Los Gatos Treehouse

Cathie Hong Interiors

This 1960s home was in original condition and badly in need of some functional and cosmetic updates. We opened up the great room into an open concept space, converted the half bathroom downstairs into a full bath, and updated finishes all throughout with finishes that felt period-appropriate and reflective of the owner's Asian heritage.

Century City Colorful

Coddington Design

Even small spaces can have big doses of pattern and color. This laundry room is adorned with a pink and gold striped Osborne and Little wallpaper. The bright pink and white patterned flooring coordinates with the wallpaper colors without fighting the pattern. The bright white cabinets and wood countertops lets the patterns and color shine.

Casa unifamiliar en Terrassa

Salt and Pepper Espais

Un oasis en la ciudad Esta vivienda unifamiliar destaca por su funcionalidad, comodidad, color y vegetación. La casa cuenta con un gran garaje polivalente para acomodar dos coches y sala de máquinas. En la primera planta nos encontramos con la zona de día, un gran espacio abierto donde la cocina y zona de comedor y estar se fusionan con la salida a la terraza, donde se sitúa la piscina. El salón y la terraza se convierten en espacios semiabiertos gracias al uso de puertas correderas de gran formato, que multiplican el espacio y dejan pasar mucha luz. La cocina, acabada en fénix antihuellas negro mate combinado con madera y encimera Dekton Sirius, con los electrodomésticos integrados consta de una isla central con zona alta de taburetes para comidas rápidas y una mesa para comer. Los detalles en mostaza de la cocina combinan con las sillas y taburetes y se extiende en la zona del baño, donde se han utilizado baldosas estilo metro y en la parte superior y el techo se ha utilizado el mismo color mostaza y mobiliario y grifería en negro. En la zona del comedor también se sigue esta gama cromática en el mueble hecho a medida de TV y los textiles del sofá. La entrada de luz natural ha sido una prioridad en toda la vivienda, por este motivo, tanto en la escalera como en las estancias del piso superior, encontramos tragaluces, algunos practicables, que nos permiten ganar luz natural y aumentar la sensación de amplitud en todos los espacios. En el piso superior, nos encontramos dos dormitorios, uno de ellos con el cuarto de baño y vestidor en suite y el segundo con cuarto de baño en suite, y el lavadero. En la habitación principal nada se ha dejado al azar. Un espejo colgante nos separa la zona del dormitorio de la del baño y vestidor dejando un espacio abierto. El uso del papel pintado combinado con el verde del cabezal perfectamente combinados con las baldosas del baño y cortinas, dan protagonismo a la cama. El mobiliario de la habitación está hecho a medida y lacado en color blanco. La iluminación es led. El vestidor, también hecho a medida, se ha realizado con melanina y se ha separado del baño con una cortina de terciopelo rosa, que combina con los colores del baño y el dormitorio. El dormitorio juvenil, se ha diseñado y producido a medida, cuidando todos los detalles en rojo, color preferido de la joven. Finalmente llegamos al lavadero, donde los muebles se han diseñado a medida y se ha utilizado un papel pintado con mucha personalidad.

All Cabinet Finishes Laundry Room Design Ideas with Pink Walls

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.
