When youte seeking ways to optimize your home, it's easy to overlook the humble laundry room. But there are many ways to improve your experience of this room, making it more functional and attractive. A beautifully appointed laundry foom is a sight to behold, helping to transform ordinary tasks into enjoyable routines. IF you're ready to turn your laundry room into a space you love, consider these upgrades. 1. Shed some light on the subject ls your laundry room too dark? Improving the tooms lighting will make daily chores easier to do while also making the room feel more bright and cheerful. You may need to add several recessed lights to really see well, especially if there’s no win- dow, and cooler-coloured LED lights can help you sort colours better. Consider adding a window if possible, or enlarg- ing an existing window to boost natural light. Applying a fresh coat of light-coloured or white paint can also make any space feel open and airy. 2. Make it functional and multi-purpose: Every good laundry room needs a utility sink deep enough to soak soiled clothing. How about a sink you can also use to bathe your dog? You can create the perfect pet beauty parlour with a 12”deep Cairn Real Estate Advertorial Unlocking hidden potential of your laundry room Utility Sink from Kohler. It offers a generous work- space, along with a stainless steel utility sink and accompanying wash bin. Both slide on the ledge in the sink, so you can tailor it to suit your needs. The offset drain increases the sink’s workspace as well as potential for storage underneath, Its soft curves and matte finish add beauty to any room, and you can choose one of six colours to suit your design: White, Black, Taupe, Grey, Graphite, Brown and Black Plum. It's made of Kohler Neoroc composite material that's extremely durable and resists scratches and stains. To make it easier to use your new sink for wash- ing your pet or anything else, choose a handshower or faucet that functions well and looks even better. Kohler’s Awaken four-function handshower pro- vides advanced spray performance with three dis- tinct sprays - wide coverage, intense drenching or targeted - with the smooth rotation of a thumb tab. Or consider the Crue touchless pull-down sink faucet with a three-function sprayhead. The Crue faucet collection represents a true high point in user-focused, sophisticated plumbing design.

If you select open shelving, use matching baskets, boxes or trays to create a unified look. Make sure to include a large drying rack to hang delicates and other items that need to be air dried. One idea that's seriously trending is combining the laundry area with the mudroom, which helps contain the mess coming in from outside. When designing your mudroom/laundry room, make sure to provide sturdy benches for sitting and removing boots - ideally with space inside for added storage. Not just for kitchens anymore, installing an island in your laundry room is a great way to pro- vide the perfect folding space = and another opportunity to add more storage underneath. Limited space? Consider using a rolling kitchen cart. 4, Elevate the situation: One way to truly elevate your laundry room is to put your machines up on pedestals. This option not only makes main- tenance and cleaning a lot easier, but is also much gentler ‘on your back - you'll do a lot less leaning and bending over every laundry day. 5. Flaunt your style: There's no reason your laundry foom can't also be pretty. Consider bright paint colours or whimsical wallpaper when you're giving the room a makeover. Fun art accents and even a whiteboard or chalkboard for laundry instructions (or playful notes!) may encourage more family members to join the laundry routine. Even achieving a couple of these upgrades can make a big difference in how you use and perceive the humble laundry room. Following through with all of them might just make it your favourite room in the house.
