10 Beautiful Laundry Rooms!

February 29, 2012 AT 1:14 pm 19 Comments

 

Well, I have been scouring the internet looking for beautiful laundry rooms to help me with ideas for my sister’s laundry room makeover.

 

Here is a great laundry room makeover by Jennifer from Blissfully Ever After.

I love the way she just took off the middle cabinet door to create a whole new custom look with open shelving.  Genius!

And the paint color on the walls and cabinets definitely helped to freshen up the space.

 

 

I love the idea of creating storage underneath Cyndi’s washer and dryer like the picture below.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about having storage underneath the washer and dryer.  What is your opinion.  Do you have it?  Love it?  Hate it?

 

I am hoping to replace the ugly florescent light in Cyndi’s laundry room.

Look at this beautiful chandelier.  It completely makes the laundry so charming.

I’m not sure a chandelier will go with the rest of the décor in my sister’s home, but a hanging  lantern light would.

Look at this beauty! I’m kind of lovin’ that wallpaper too. If you do not like floral wall paper, maybe you would prefer a geometric pattern. image

I love everything about this next laundry room.  I love how there is an open shelf between the two closed cabinets.  I love the sink in the middle and the light above it.  I also love how they have counter space above each washer and dryer. (And I love that rug too!)

Darby left the link for me on my facebook page, and I immediately pinned it on Pinterest.

 

Here is another example of having open shelving between closed cabinets.  I love the molding at the top of the cabinets too.

My sister wants a place to hang her clothes to dry.  I like the way they incorporated a drying space between the two cabinets in the picture below.

But I am thinking that a drying rack like the one below would work well in Cyndi’s laundry room.

We haven’t decided whether to paint the cabinets white or give them a touch of color.  These cabinets are beautiful.  I like the folding space above the washer and dryer and the touch of adding “legs” to make it look like a table.

Speaking of adding color,  I love this beautiful rug in Jennifer’s laundry room from IHeart Organizing.

Have you been to her blog?  I hadn’t until today, and Good Golly that girl is talented.  Just check out her home tour.  I can only DREAM of being that organized. And she has 3 boys!  How in the world does she do it?

Well, my creative juices are flowing, and I cannot wait to get started on Cyndi’s laundry room.

I hope to be sharing more soon!
