33 Coolest Laundry Room Design Ideas

A laundry room doesn’t have to be that dull, boring place where you only go to throw dirty socks and t-shirts. You don’t need to be afraid of it. It needs to be comfortable, cool and pleasant and at the same time, highly functional. So if you’re looking for design ideas to decorate the perfect laundry room, the list below should be of great help.

Probably the coolest laundry room designs you’ve seen …

But first we’d like to tell you a few secrets:

  • If a laundry room is too small, you’ll have to make it look larger. It’s the same with all your other areas. So how about stacking the dryer on top of the washer (you’ll have to make sure your wash has front-loading for that to work) and save some space for a narrow cabinet to store your stuff?
  • Consider using the space behind the door. It gives you more space to move around and it allows to hang your clothes, rubber gloves, or to hide your detergent maybe;
  • Keep things clean. That’s easy to understand. A cluttered room makes it difficult to do laundry work — it becomes a time-consuming and frustrating job, which believe me, you don’t want to happen;
  • Colors: our advice is to use light colors for the walls as well as your other laundry room furniture that you may have;
  • For better space utilization you may also want to consider pulling out hamper or a narrow sliding cart between the washer and dryer, install a countertop above the washer and dryer to create a smooth surface (if there’s no space for a separate table for folding clothes, that is);
  • Backsplash and floor tiles do a great job in creating a cool environment for your laundry room. Same goes for some of those throw rugs that you could place on the floor;
  • One last thing to consider is if you have enough light in your laundry room. It’s preferably that you have at least one window for natural lighting. If that’s not enough you should consider installing under cabinet lighting.

Laundry room cabinets & storage

Bright Modern Laundry Room

A small chair to reach the upper cabinets, stylish countertops, matching flooring and a desk office facing the yard. Not sure about you folks, but it looks like a dream room — if a laundry room can be one.

Classic laundry room

Classic meets modern. There’s plenty of counter space, cupboard space, and the washing machine setup is sleek. The only think you should worry about is if your mom will ever come out of the laundry room again. Just make sure there’s no TV.

Fashionista’s Laundry Room

A great example of a laundry room done right. With plenty of cabinets and plenty of storage space, this setup gets the eye for breathing stylish from every little corner. Totally appreciate the elevated washer and dryer so that you don’t have to bend over too much. Love the bright light (thanks to the window) and the orderliness.

Traditional Laundry Room

The things we love about this traditional setup are the storage spaces for the laundry sorting baskets, the open shelf, and the hanging bar over the machines. The contrast between the color of the washing machines and the walls and furniture, is just as cool

Sleek Basement Laundry Room

Some of you will call this their favorite laundry room, some would be amazed by the cabinets; “what type of finish or metallic paint is it?”. The sink is close to the dryer and the washer, and there are two different levels of counter space. On top of that, the different counter heights and the lights under cabinets add to the overall stylish feel of this basement laundry room.

Luxury Laundry Room

And when we said too much space, we never meant this. Because really, who has that much space to store pillows, one by one. That’s probably one of the most expensive setups so far, but at least it’s inspirational.

Why is there an island inside of this contemporary laundry room? For folding your stuff when you get it out of your washer. Just so you know, the sleek countertops are Carrara marble. Perfect, right?

Pink laundry room

You’re either a Hello Kitty fan and your parents allowed you to decorate one room of the house (that will stay shut when not doing laundry), or you’ve been a pink lover your whole life and everything you’d do to your home involves the color. We’re not yet sure why you’d make your laundry room pink, but I guess it’s the same with having a bathroom pink.
