It’s rare for homeowners to put a lot of thought into the laundry room. However, proper planning is essential if you want the perfect laundry room. Our team of interior remodeling experts are here to share a few helpful pointers.
Start With the Location
A laundry room should be in the right location. After all, your washing machine and dryer will make some noise, and folding laundry will take up some space. Choose a place that is easily accessible since you’ll find yourself frequently heading there.
Size Matters
Remodeling contractors strongly recommend considering your laundry needs in order to decide on the size of your laundry room. If you are laundering a lot of clothes on a weekly basis, your laundry area must be big enough to accommodate the washing machine, dryer, ironing board and adequate folding and storage space. The perfect laundry room will never leave you feeling cramped.
Storage Considerations
There’s more to the perfect laundry area than just having bins large enough for dirty clothes. You want separate bins for clean and dirty clothes, but you can take it to the next level and have additional bins for separating workout, everyday and office attire. Also think about storage for other laundry-related items such as detergents.
Multipurpose Features
Perhaps your idea of the perfect laundry room is a room that offers plenty of versatility, and that’s always a smart way to maximize your home’s available floor space. According to home remodeling specialists, the perfect laundry area can also serve as a sewing room or a pantry. In some cases, the laundry room can also serve as a mudroom. As long as you’re not sacrificing accessibility and storage in the laundry area, there is the potential for versatility.
