Get ready to make summer laundry the task to look forward to!
Laundry Room Ideas for Your Summer Reset
1. Laundry Room Colors
Color has the power to alter the mood of a room and anyone in it. Is your laundry room’s palette currently lackluster? If you’re up for some painting, here are some options:
White is well-known for making rooms feel bigger, lighter, and airier than they actually are. It can also make a space feel sophisticated and professional.
Pops of bright colors like yellow, green, and pink can energize a room and make occupants feel more awake. If these palettes appeal, they’re a great way to inject some personality into an otherwise dull space.
Dark paints and woods are up-market, stylish and can turn laundry into an elegant affair. They can make a room feel smaller, but the aesthetic is often worth the sacrifice.
2. Detail in a Single Step: Wallpaper
If you can’t commit to painting, consider adding a playful wallpaper. Whether you update one wall or the whole room, the right pattern can put you at ease or put a smile on your face.
3. Have Fun With Decor
Why settle for a laundry room that feels like a closet? Sure, its purpose is to store essential laundry tools, but there’s plenty of room for personality too!
If you have artwork in need of a home or memorabilia you haven’t yet displayed, spend an afternoon adding them to your laundry area.
Alternatively, keep it simple with one focus piece or a few fresh houseplants.
4. Swap to Containers
Putting your detergent, pods, and dryer sheets in cute matching containers can do wonders for your laundry room. Whether it’s vintage glass bottles or sleek minimalist boxes, the uniformity will be nothing short of satisfying.
For folks in small spaces, this trick can also free up some legroom. Check out this space-saving blog for similar ideas!
5. Set the Scene
Add some spunk into laundry day with mood-setting essentials: lighting, smells, and sound.
To avoid headache-inducing overhead lights, add decorative lamps with gentle bulbs. Grab an essential oil diffuser, and fill it with your favorite scent. Finally, set up a speaker to enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks while folding.
