Inspiration For My Future Laundry Room

3 Views

I’ve an almost-free day as we speak, and I’ll lastly have the ability to get extra work achieved on the studio cupboards (for the primary time since Monday), so I hope to have some progress to share with you tomorrow. However within the meantime, I’ve turn into a bit obsessed (once more) with our ground plan for the addition, and final evening, I turned my consideration to the laundry room.

Proper now, our “laundry room” is a nook of the sunroom. For many who don’t know, our so-called “sunroom” is the worst room in the home, and it’ll finally be torn right down to make room for the addition. It’s only a unhappy (however large) room that I maintain hidden away behind our music room and these fairly doorways…

I don’t like opening these doorways or going into that room. It’s not effectively constructed in any respect, so the home windows are low-cost and drafty. The room doesn’t have any HVAC vents, so the room will get extremely sizzling in the summertime, and chilly within the winter. Plus, the room doesn’t have any lights. So I don’t like moving into there, however that’s the one house I’ve proper now for the washer and dryer.

When individuals see the remainder of our home, the very last thing they’d count on when opening these doorways behind the music room is to see this…

So evidently, I’m actually wanting ahead to the day that this room will get torn down. And I dream in regards to the day that I can have an attractive, organized laundry room with precise lighting, a window that truly retains the surface air outdoors, and an HVAC vent to control the temperature always of the 12 months.

After spending the final a number of days reviewing our ground plan for the addition and tweaking that plan primarily based on a number of of your strategies, I shared the choices with my mother, brother, and sister-in-law yesterday at lunch. I believe this was the group favourite so far as the main bedroom closet(s) and the closet for Matt’s tools…

However my mother jogged my memory that I ought to make the laundry room as huge as attainable as a result of proper now, I wrestle to seek out room to retailer issues like my carpet cleaner, vacuum cleaner, and many others. All of my cleansing provides are at present saved in a cupboard within the walk-in pantry, which appears (to me) like an odd place for cleansing provides. I’d quite have these in a laundry/utility room. I additionally want a spot for my cat’s litter field and further cat litter, different pet provides.

So with all of that in thoughts, I tweaked the plan but once more to bump out the laundry room…

Heck, ultimately, I’ll most likely simply find yourself bumping the entire addition out these 7.5 toes. However for now, I’m simply concentrating on the laundry room, and dreaming of what is going to be. So with the laundry room bumped out, I’m left with one other house that shall be lengthy and slim. I’m guessing it will likely be 7’4″ x about 15′.

So I went looking for the way to organize an extended, slim laundry room, and let me let you know. I got here throughout some superb inspiration, and I’ve such a imaginative and prescient for this room now! Whereas my preliminary thought (which really got here from a few of your strategies) was to place the sink below the window, what I really discovered myself essentially the most drawn to are the lengthy, slim laundry rooms the place actually the whole lot is lined up on only one wall.

This one is my absolute favourite that I’ve come throughout up to now on Houzz. I maintain going again to this one and staring, dreaming, and planning how I can have my very own that’s organized like this, however with the whole lot I would like in that room.

Though I’m probably not a “wallpaper on the ceiling” sort of particular person. However you higher consider there shall be some enjoyable, colourful wallpaper on the partitions!

One of many issues I really like about this association is that I received’t must cope with cupboards that wrap round a nook. I at all times discover it so irritating to determine what to do with these blind corners. This configuration eliminates that frustration. Plus, I can have an even bigger window this fashion. An above-the-sink window would essentially must be smaller. With that wall free, I can have a a lot larger window, which implies extra daylight!
