Three Essentials for Your Laundry Room Renovation


The laundry room may not be the first room on your list of home makeovers, but we are seeing more and more clients opt in to re-do this under appreciated workspace. Laundry room renovations are driven by one thing: functionality. This room gets used all day everyday, and it’s imperative that they serve our clients’ needs. So, after a few laundry room overhauls, these are the three essentials that we think everyone should include in their refresh: storage, durable surfaces, and a sink

 
 

Storage

Let’s face it, laundry rooms house way more than just the washer and dryer. These rooms are a catch-all for cleaning supplies, tools, and other miscellaneous items. That makes an optimized storage layout essential for a laundry room remodel, regardless of your budget. 

We suggest a layout that includes upper and lower cabinetry to get the most out of your wall space. Equipping the cabinetry with pull-out rack and rolling shelves is another great way to make sure you’re using every square inch of your storage space.

 
 

Durable Surfaces

Laundry rooms definitely bear the brunt of our daily lives. Dirty clothes, soiled shoes, and harsh cleaners are part of the laundry room line-up. So it’s important that your surfaces can handle the daily mess.

Quartz countertops are a fantastic choice for laundry rooms since they are nonporous, as well as scratch and stain resistant.

When it comes to protecting your walls, a backsplash is a great, waterproof option. Installing wallpaper is also a durable choice. And, with so many colors and options on the market these days, you’re sure to find the perfect wallpaper to add a pop of personality to your laundry room.

 
 

Sink

If you are committed to spending money to renovate your laundry room, then installing a sink is a worthy investment. No need to go on and on about the benefits of sinks, be we can promise you– if you have one, you will use it! Go ahead and pencil it into your renovation budget and thank us later!
