How to Create a Luxurious Laundry Room

Article by Rebekah Slatkin.

Give your home a luxurious feel with a beautiful laundry room. Even if you hate doing the laundry, you cannot deny that there IS a certain amount of satisfaction from transforming a bunch of dirty things into fresh and fragrant clothes! Put these items in your laundry room and feel the difference!

- A few plants
- Adequate shelving
- A rug or piece of carpet to stand on
- An ironing area
- Large folding table
- Music
- Framed art or prints
- A pretty dish to catch clutter and extraneous pocketed items
- A trash can (continually clean the lint from the dryer)
- GOOD LIGHTING, lamps, etc.!!!
- Laundry sorters
- A bulletin board for laundry codes
- Decorative tins/boxes for laundry detergent and soap
- Laundry baskets
- A clothes line
- A rolling cart for extra supplies

If you can, put the laundry room on the same floor as the bedrooms. A laundry chute is an amazing laundry room organizing tool. It so much easier to streamline the laundering process with these two luxuries! Find a good carpenter or contractor who can do this for you.

Also, good lighting is perhaps THE most essential laundry room organizing tool. I recently found a great handy man who installed more lighting in my laundry room and what a difference it made. Now I can actually see my laundry!
