Are you stuck in the never ending wash-dry-fold cycle? According to an Energy Star Report, the average American family washes about 300 loads per year. That’s a lot of laundry!
Don’t dread wash days, turn the age old chore into a fun & easy experience by improving your laundry room with these tips:
Measuring your space is the first step to improving any room in your home. You want to know what will fit and what improvement options you have available. The more space you have to work with the better!
If your home is equipped with a larger laundry space, you have the option to indulge in bulk size appliances & shelving. Smaller spaces may require compact appliance options & rely on utilizing wall space to store items out of the way.
Without proper layout design, picking out your appliances & furniture can be futile because your selections could turn out to be too space consuming or too tiny.
You could potentially leave space unoccupied, making it look incomplete. Creating a layout design in advance will help you map out your space the right way.
Color is an additional resource in design that can help enhance product attributes, hide details, and prioritize functions. Color can sway thinking, change actions, & cause reactions.
It can irritate or soothe your eyes, raise your blood pressure or suppress your appetite. When used the right way, color can even save on energy consumption. Color can inspire us so be sure to pick a color that will improve your laundry experience.
Consider flooring options that are resistant to water damage. Vinyl, tile and some composite products often make good laundry room flooring alternatives to wood. Resilient flooring that mimics the look of hardwood can add class without any hassle.
Wooden flooring in your laundry room requires maintenance & is not resistant to humidity, therefore it is susceptible to warping.
Having a window in your laundry space is ideal. If you don’t have the luxury of natural light, consider artificial lighting. Being able to see what you’re doing is necessary to carry out tasks correctly. Task lighting, under-cabinet strip lighting and overhead lights can improve your laundry room efficiency.
Storage is a great way to organize your laundry room & keep it looking its’ best. Once you have shelving, try to get ahead of the mess by wrangling your laundry supplies in baskets, jars and other storage containers.
You’ll enjoy doing laundry much more if your space looks neat and pulled together.
Incorporate YOU in your laundry space. Mirror your home’s style, include wall hangings, plants, accent items, and even task lighting. Play up certain features with a bold floor tile or brightly colored walls.
Updating laundry rooms can be a great way to make doing laundry more enjoyable and efficient.
