Laundry room design?...Yes!

How many of you have a truly functional laundry room?  Many of us have a closet with just enough space for a stacked washer and dryer. Even a full laundry room in outfitted with cabinetry leaves room for improvement. Where do you sort? How about a place to put the clean clothes waiting for pick-up?  Here are some images of laundry spaces in basements, in the garage, and even rooms to themselves with great design leaving space for the washer, dryer, sorting, ironing, and folding.

In the garage, a combo washer/dryer with roll out hampers and folding on top.

A basement laundry room with 'loads' of storage, hanging, sorting and folding space.

Combine the end of a kitchen into a laundry/mud room with hampers rolling out from under coats in the storage cabinets.

A small wall laundry center at the end of a hall....hampers, folding, ironing all concealed at the end of the cycle!

Dedicated space allows for more creativity. Roll out hampers, linen storage, tons of folding and sorting room and attractive tiles and lighting make this space a pleasure to work in.
