Despite being a place for chores, your laundry room doesn’t need to be boring. Washing dirty clothes and folding laundry might not be everyone’s idea of a good time — but it’d be much better in a beautiful space. Here are 10 laundry renovation ideas for designing a room you’ll love spending time in.

1. Stacked appliances

If your laundry is on the smaller side, a stacked washer/dryer combo will be your best friend. With tall cabinets and simple but statement-making brushed brass cabinet knobs, this laundry feels minimal, open and clean.

2. Natural light

This home is making the most of its connecting room, transforming it into a mix of laundry and mudroom in the best way possible. The glass door, glossy Newport tiles, large floor tiles and chrome tapware work to create a light and harmonious space.

3. Statement tiles

Tiles have a lot of pull when it comes to transforming a space. Coogee kit kats turn this laundry into something to look at. The white base really lets the tapware shine — a brushed brass tap and matching brass towel rail really pop in this space.

4. Neutral colours

This homeowner knew what they wanted from their laundry, and from all the neutrals, we suspect ‘clean’ was on the brief. Everything here is heavily curated, from the soft off-white cabinets to the white glossy countertops and the contrasting antique brass tapware. 

5. Mood lighting

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: lighting makes all the difference. This modern Australian laundry is warm and earthy, partly thanks to warm under-cabinet lighting. The cherry on top is a marble countertop, plenty of plants and brass tapware and accessories.

6. Greenery

Plants can transform your laundry room into a refreshing space. In this laundry a pot plant sits by a window with a view of trees and shrubbery. This creates a connection between the indoors and the outdoors, making the whole space feel a little more organic.

7. Multi-functionality

Who said a laundry room should only be for washing and folding clothes? Don’t be afraid to give your laundry another use. Here, the owners added more storage, elongated worktops, and a large sink to create a room that is as versatile as it is beautiful. Need extra space for a DIY project? To the laundry you go!

8. Simple storage  

Looking for laundry storage ideas? This laundry room uses a creative combo of closed cabinets and open shelving to give plenty of storage with an airy feel. This leaves space on the bench for decorative items. 

9. Pop of colour

Talk about a statement sink — we are in awe. A green subway-tiled sink is not something you see every day, but it works beautifully against a backdrop of white square and subway tiles and brushed brass tapware.

10. Personalise

With all this laundry inspiration, remember that your design should reflect your style. This homeowner went down the ‘earthy’ path with the dark greens, plants and textured accents. Personal touches to your design will make it uniquely yours.
