Are you ready for the worst room yet? It has to be our laundry room. Let’s start by appreciating these beyond gorgeous laundry rooms that I found when searching inspiration on Pinterest before I jump into ours.
What a beautiful space this is. I love the warm tones and the natural accents.

The scale of this room was the first thing that stood out; the high ceilings are incredible and the built in cabinets feel incredibly luxurious. The rolling laundry bins caught my eye too; I love anything that is functional but also pretty!

When I found this one, I liked the contrast of the coloured cabinets against a different coloured wall, and also noted the open shelving.

Now that we’ve seen three beautiful dream spaces, let me introduce you to our basement dungeon-esque laundry room. The windows are barred (!!), everything feels dark and gloomy but I am beyond excited to actually HAVE a laundry room at all.
This is what the laundry room looked like when we viewed the house and I snapped this photo. I knew that there would immediately need to be another dose of white paint, so that is where we started.
The plan is to
brighten up the entire space by painting the walls, ceiling and floor white
remove the metal wire and film coverings on the windows
rip out the upper storage and hang floating shelves
paint the lower cabinetry (they have great storage!)
add accessories (the fun part)!
Here are a few items I put together to pull the overall look and feel.
01.// Patterned rug; 02.// Rolling laundry bin; 03.// Rattan hooks; 04.// Laundry powder tin; 05.// Wool dryer balls; 06.// White floating shelves; 07.// Ceramic pot; 08.// Landscape art.
