Laundry Room Fresh Ideas
With laundry rooms moving outside the basement, this key utility room is finally getting some much-deserved tender loving care. No matter where it is located in the house, a good laundry room should combine practicality with pleasant surroundings. Here are some fresh ideas to inject in your laundry room.
First is to install smart storage systems. Make use of your vertical space by installing shelving. You can then keep your cleaning products here to keep them out of reach of your kids and pets. Shelves also offer ample storage space for your other laundry room articles.
Second is to capture the clutter. Store you detergent in airtight containers. Keep track of clothes pegs and bleach pens by keeping them in jumbo-sized containers. For a more elegant look, you can use coordinating or matching containers.
Third is to stash and stow safely. Carrying a load of dirty laundry is sometimes a chiropractic nightmare but if you are using a comfortable but heavy- duty hamper, the task will be easy and safe.
Fourth is to choose a pretty palette. It is your own laundry room therefore, you can paint the walls with your favorite color. This will create an atmosphere that you like and so reduce the stress of doing the laundry.
Fifth is to keep your iron on call. Invest in a handy and space-saving ironing organizer that has a hook for the ironing board as well as a heat-resistant nook for the iron and room to wind the electrical cord.
Sixth is to keep a bucket ready. This is a must-have for soaking stained garments or for doing some mopping or whatever use you can find for it.
Seventh is to grab any garbage. Throw away your laundry room garbage in stylish trashcans. You can get ones that are pedal-operated to open the lid and in a color that matches with the room’s walls or your colorful front-loading washer.
