Homeowner request. Designer Susan Winterstein says, “They wanted to wash a hardworking clothes, which felt cheerful and slightly retro, with better storage, a landing zone for folding and a place for dog gear from the yard door,” designer Susan Susan Winterstein says. “The original room was dark, tight and zero counter space. Our goal: brighten it, make it multipurpose and bend in the 70s vibe without feeling the theme-Ji.”

Designer tip. “Put counters at the length of the right work – even in a small room,” Winterstein says. “Getting a continuous counter made this place twice as useful as it would be useful as adding another tall cabinet. In laundries, a linear counter defeats vertical storage nine out of 10 times.”

Builder John Jude Junior says, “The homeowner imagined a space with rich jewel tons and timeless, traditional elegance.” “Serving the form of a side finger, laundry, purge and pantry, the room requires the required room to balance beauty with everyday functionality. Working together with the designer, he stressed that this multicributory area should be intentionally and invited, not the description of every design that was given at a single level. space.”
Special symptoms. Cabinet, millwork and wall color is a rich, dark purple (brinjal by ferro and ball). The floor is a brick tile set in a herringbone pattern. The ladder is rowed with a dragonfly wallpaper. “Because the madroom and laundry serve as one of the busiest routes of the house, the design required to balance the design with heat.” “Fickle wallpaper, veskoting, rich paint tone, archway and brass cabinet hardware replace it from a scope that makes you feel high and invited. Hooks, an inherent bench and counter space ensures details such as the room is functional.”

Designer: Susain Ordonase of House of Mavery
Place: Rale, North Carolina

Homeowner request. “Our customers wanted their laundry room to fresh, functional and home soil, to suit the masculine design vision,” designer Susain Ordonase, whose customers found them on the house. “The old place felt the dated and disorganized and deficiency, causing it to exceed a cache as a purposeful room. We solved it by adding the custom cabinet to a clean, hidden storage and an inherent laundry barrier for convenience.”
Special symptoms. Green-gray cabinets (evergreen fog by Sherwin-Villiams). Quartz Countertops. Beadboard Paneling. Off-white walls (Greek villa by Sherwin-Villiams). Black slate tile flooring. White oak floating shelves. “The shelves bring warmth and encourage style, so the room is designed, not only utilitarian,” Ordonance. “A new countertop provides a lot of space for folding, while the mute green cabinetry combines everything together to a timeless, organized and elevated place.”
Designer tip. “We always recommend to invest in elevated lighting and hardware to immediately feel more polished and high-ending,” called Ordonance. “To balance the budget in this laundry room, we combined the statement hardware and lighting with a inexpensive slate tile. Thanks to its natural texture, the slate gives a timeless, luxurious look without cost.”

Place: Burlingam, California
size: 90 sq ft (8.4 square meters)
Homeowner request. “We believe that laundry rooms must be the first and first fun,” designer Sarina Playns. “It is a workhears area for this family of five. What you do not see here is a full-sized refrigerator and is a freezer on the left side of the sink. We are constructively required to provide sufficient space for fridge, freezer, full-size sink, wine fridge, hapeper storage, washer and dryer.
Special symptoms. “They are a family that likes to travel and we were able to create a source of perfect wallpapers to capture many places, which they have already done,” says Playns. Blue-gray cabinets complement tone in wallpapers. The countertop concrete-look is quartz. The floor is hexagonal porcelain tile.
PLEMONS HOUZZ uses Pro software, especially for invoices.
Designer tip. “A laundry room is a place where the work is done – don’t be afraid to have a little fun,” says Playns. “You can get a lot of visual interest with a pattern tile, colored cabinets and wallpapers. I think the laundry room and powder rooms are a little fickle and creative spots.”
“Uh-oh” moment. “Our biggest challenge was acting in details for laundry chutches, which is located in long cabinets on the right,” Playns say. “We need to ensure that it was aligned with the third floor, where there are bedrooms. We have a luxurious upper hall built-in with a pullout to wash clothes, which feeds the fabric down to the basement level. The angles should have been right to keep the cloth down and did not get stuck in the shaft.”
