Laundry rooms conjure up images of boredom, a lack of room and organization. It is this lackluster image of a laundry room that adds to the drudgery of the tasks that must be completed within it. You, however, can make your Oakville home’s laundry room not only stand out from all the rest — a valuable asset should you want to sell your home in the future — it can make doing the household laundry something that you no longer dread. Indeed, you might even look forward to slipping into your quiet room of tranquility! Here are some ideas on how you can customize your laundry room to make it work better for your needs and be a space you enjoy visiting.
1. Ample Counter Space
While the kitchen is often cited as the place where you need a great deal of counter space to accomplish what’s needed there, the laundry room has just as high of a need for counter space. How many times have you been frustrated to find that your bed or sofa is covered in clean laundry that must be cleared because there was simply nowhere else with ample room to fold the clothes? Or worse, the frustration you feel when your children knock that clean laundry on the floor? Having a sufficient amount of counter space makes it easy to quickly fold the clothes and linens as they come out of the dryer, reducing the wrinkles and frustrations.
2. Racks Behind Doors
If you’re like most people, you do more than just your laundry in this room. You also store cleaning supplies like cleaners, mops, buckets and more. Keep these items neat and tidy in pull-out racks that are nestled behind doors that make the entire room look orderly.
3. Baskets, Bins and Shelves, Oh My!
From bins and baskets that make sorting laundry a breeze to shelves and cabinets that store detergents, cleaning supplies and other equipment neatly and close within reach, the ideal laundry room needs to have a healthy selection. The number, size and exact location of these items will vary depending on the individual factors that drive the customization of your laundry room.
