The laundry room was where I decided to have some fun! Fun with color and pattern and functionality. Gotta have functionality in a laundry room/mudroom too! Here are a few things that I wanted to have in this space: 1) folding space, 2) storage, 3) open shelves, 4) a place to hang up backpacks. In order to achieve this, we continued the custom cabinets in this space too. We were able to get one large cabinet on the far side of the room next to the washer and dryer where we keep a lot of our cleaning supplies. We also have some upper cabinets and drawers for additional storage. We built in the washer and dryer in with a top to match the cabinets and that gives us plenty of space to folder our laundry…and leave it there. Haha! I am the worst at putting laundry away.
I love the cement tile behind the open shelves. We also used that on the floor of the half bathroom, which is right next to the laundry room and will be included in the next part of the project reveal. The open shelves are really long and we have since added baskets for additional hidden storage, but there is still plenty of room for decorative items as well. I really wanted to incorporate vertical shiplap in the space, so we did that on the space between the drawers and upper cabinets and added hooks for hanging up backpacks. I wish I could say that this room stays as clean as it is in these photos, but that would be a lie. It’s a laundry room and a drop zone, so it gets out of control sometimes.
Whenever I post this photo on social media, the question I get the most is “what color are the cabinets?” This gorgeous color is Studio Blue Green by Sherwin Williams and it’s absolutely one of my favorites!
Thank you for the tour! Did you mention what type of flooring you choose for the main living spaces? I’d love to know what type of wood it is and where you found it!
It’s actually a wood tile. The color is Sedona Light from Sunstone Tile.
