6 Decorating Tips for a More Stylish and Organized Laundry Room

Laundry rooms are often put aside as utilitarian spaces that you want to get in and out of quickly. But just because it’s a functional room doesn’t mean it has to be a boring one. Why not make it as beautiful as the rest of your home?

To improve the look and organization in your laundry room so you can enjoy your time in there more, follow these simple decorating tips and ideas.

Laundry Room Decorating Tips

Go bold

The laundry room is a great place to try out a bold color or pattern that you’ve been wanting to try. It’s separate from the rest of the house and typically, a relatively small area, so dramatic design works well in this space and makes it more enjoyable to spend time in it. Go for a bright color on the walls (or maybe the ceiling), an eye-catching wallpaper, or a bold pattern on the floor. You may actually find yourself looking forward to laundry day if the décor is inspiring.

Use baskets and boxes

There are a lot of small items to corral in a laundry room that can quickly get out of hand. To organize items in your laundry room without creating a lot of visual clutter, incorporate pretty baskets and boxes into your shelving. They’re inexpensive and come in a variety of sizes and styles, so it’s easy to find exactly what you need. Plus, everything will look stylish and tidy.

Organize vertically

Laundry rooms generally aren’t very large, but one way you can increase your storage space is by organizing upward. Take advantage of vertical space with shelving and cabinets to instantly multiply your storage opportunities.

Switch the containers

An easy way to add a bit of charm to your laundry room is to ditch the containers supplies like detergent come in and pour them into prettier containers, like apothecary jars. You can then add stylish labels to them to identify them. They’re functional and chic.

Add artwork

Even though the laundry room is a strictly functional space, that doesn’t mean it can’t be adorned just like any other place in the home. Dress up the walls with pretty artwork to give it character and style. You could even mix in some artwork and décor into your shelving.

Hang a chalkboard

A chalkboard in the laundry room is a great place to take notes, like a shopping list or chore list, or to write inspiring quotes. It also adds a nice touch of character to the space that makes it feel more personalized.
