Our colourful and fashionable laundry room makeover is finished and we’re in love! Try how we reworked this house simply and affordably.
Whats up!!!! When you comply with me on Instagram you already know that for the previous couple of weeks we’ve got been engaged on our fashionable laundry room makeover in our present home. Enjoyable reality, my first ever weblog publish was in regards to the laundry room makeover in our final home, lol! Do you bear in mind our first laundry room makeover for under $71 in our previous home? After which we gave it a greater makeover about 7 years later (proper earlier than we offered it final yr). So in case it is not apparent, I really like an excellent laundry room makeover. I imagine we should always love EVERY room in our properties, even laundry rooms, pantries, and many others.
However that is by far my favourite laundry room makeover we have accomplished. It is colourful, it is fashionable and it was EASY and AFFORDABLE!
It is a big room (12 toes x 7 toes), however the storage state of affairs was a large number. The one storage is the cupboard beneath the sink (and everyone knows how frustratingly cramped these are) and the cupboards above the washer and dryer. This is the factor… I am 5’9″ which is fairly tall for a lady and it is HARD for me to achieve something above the decrease cabinets in these cupboards. Not solely are they excessive (these are 10-foot ceilings for reference), however as a result of the washer and dryer stick out to this point it makes you need to attain EVEN farther. Lengthy story brief… the higher cupboards are almost ineffective for us.
This is a reminder of what the laundry room regarded like earlier than we obtained began.
Let’s check out the way it appears now…
Purposeful Modifications
We eliminated Riggins’ crate and added a whole wall of useful storage utilizing the IKEA Boaxel system (the brand new model of the Algot system that we used a lot in our previous home–you may examine that HERE). The ceilings are 10 toes tall, so it’s A TON OF STORAGE (see the rendering beneath the photograph). And the entire storage and drying rack that we have hidden behind these floor-to-ceiling curtains solely value $340! Sooner or later I am going to share a publish in regards to the “hidden closet” and precisely how we use it, so keep tuned. If you cannot wait, you may see some peeks at it in my Instagram tales spotlight reel.
We additionally eliminated the higher cupboards and changed them with decrease (and due to this fact usable) open shelving. They don’t seem to be solely extra useful, however fairly! We discovered attractive walnut for the cabinets at an area enterprise (GPS Hardwoods in Kernersville, NC). We used these easy brackets to carry them in place. Now our laundry detergent, Oxiclean, dryer balls, and many others. are really easy to achieve. And naturally I added some enjoyable artwork and vegetation 🙂
Aesthetic Modifications
This house appears TOTALLY completely different. We up to date the sunshine fixture. We added this detachable wallpaper to usher in colour and a enjoyable sample.
And might we discuss the superior vinyl tile stickers from Mirth Studio?! They allowed us to completely replace our outdated tile flooring with none wanting demo or exhausting work. And so they have been way more inexpensive than fully new flooring! You possibly can watch my 2-minute video about simply how straightforward this course of is beneath.
When you learn the publish about our design plans for the laundry room, you could keep in mind that I had chosen these Pink velvet curtains to cover the closet system. Properly, they did not come within the 120″ size that we wanted and I did not really feel like stitching, so we wound up going with these easy creamy white curtains.
I additionally painted the sink cupboard AND the counter tops (we adopted the very same course of that we used to paint our kitchen counter tops to seem like marble–you may see that tutorial publish right here). And we swapped out the {hardware} and tap. This space appears DRASTICALLY completely different because of these tremendous inexpensive fixes. If you’re questioning in regards to the laundry basket artwork above the sink, I create that myself and like it a lot that I added it to my store–you may order one HERE.
I feel that covers the entire modifications we made, so now let’s simply get pleasure from extra images of the completed house 🙂 You could find the total supply checklist on the finish of this publish.
What do you assume?! We’re so proud of how every part turned out.
