28 Ideas For Upgrading Your Laundry Room
The laundry room. Probably the most neglected room in the house when it comes to home decor. Although we completely understand why; it seems unusual to spend your time and energy decorating a room that you don't spend that much time in, apart from when doing your dreaded chores. But chores can be fun when you have a beautiful, clean, inspiring environment to do them in.
Upgrading your utility space can not only be a fun project in itself, but a great opportunity to declutter, to get creative and to add some personal style to another part of your home. That's why we’ve put together these 28 decorating ideas to help you upgrade your laundry room.
Go Minimal
Strip the space bare and give it a crisp makeover. Try sticking to one light color and simple decor for a beautiful and fresh minimal look.
@zephyr_and_stone sticks to a completely all-white look and we certainly approve.
@lacorraladegumiel use white decor and basic accessories to keep it minimal.
@gibuildersbundaberg keeps it extremely minimal, fresh and clean with nothing but white walls and a simple piece of decor.
Color Block
Sometimes a simple lick of paint can do the trick. Add a block of bold color to your utility room for an impactful change.
@thewelldressedhouse went bold and beautiful with this dark green paint. Stunning.
@no.7_is_home painted the cabinets a soft pink and added a floral theme to brighten up their laundry room.
@boardbattenandbabies also made a statement by painting their cabinets. We love this solid blue with the brass handles.
We love how @kouboodecor painted just one wall a solid blue block to bring some color into their laundry room.
@interior_inspo411 proving you don't need loads of space to add blocks of color to your laundry room.
@codyresidential went for something completely dark and different when they matched their walls and cabinets to their black washer & dryer.
@thehiddenlens went for a bold and brave green against their brick wall and we think their decision absolutely paid off.
@home_family_deco transformed the look and feel of the entire room with a simple but striking red paint on one wall.
We love how @la_dco_de_lolita even painted their door when they decided to create a block coral colored wall.
Add Some Personality
Add something fun and personal to your laundry room with something as simple as a wall sign.

Use Compact Storage
Use clever and compact storage to avoid mess and clutter. Even just adding a few shelves can make a HUGE difference for decluttering your laundry room.
Like @haus_tannenkamp, add shelves to small rooms to create more space for storage.
@thehawkes_victorianrenovation use baskets on their shelves to create even less clutter.
We bet these secret laundry baskets are a big storage saver for @adpaustralia
@refreshed_by_elise use shelves, baskets and labels to keep their laundry room extremely organised, avoiding mess and clutter completely. Wonderful!
We love how @megan_mommyto3 use jars to store washing tablets. Such a clever idea and it looks beautiful.
@plainoldclassy use matching laundry baskets and store them underneath a table for the ultimate organization station.
@organisedbylucy not only combines baskets and shelves but she color-coordinated everything too. Neat!
We love how @leroymerlin use boxed shelving to keep their laundry room organised, combining them with a block color of pull-out baskets
Add Some Plants
Ever noticed how much difference a plant can make to a room? Try adding some greenery to your laundry room for an upgrade on a budget.
@kelseyleighdesignco adds a hint of greenery and flowers. Simple but effective!
With an outdoor laundry area, @akarumah has added lots of plants for an exotic jungle effect.
In contrast to previous last image, @ourhomeblessed adds some small dark green plants to their farmhouse-style laundry room for a much cosier feel.
