Just because the laundry room isn’t a space that’s on display for guests like a living room or a powder room doesn’t mean you should neglect it, Rashmi Patel, a designer at the firm, Rush Me Home, says.
Not only will decorating your laundry room create cohesion in your house as a whole, Patel says, but it will also transform it into a destination you don’t mind spending time in.
«Laundry is a chore and you’re in the laundry room a lot, so you might as well make it look nice,» she says.
According to Patel, decorating a laundry room doesn't need to be costly or labor-intensive, either. Patel loves affordable fixes such as adding a pop of color with paint on the walls or using wicker or wire baskets to bring visual cohesion to open shelving.
For a bigger investment, Patel recommends updating the floor tiles with a fun pattern if the budget permits. Painted concrete tiles are a great choice here, as they're durable and easy to source in bright, cheery color schemes.
