5 Effective Ways to Upgrade Your Laundry Room

For many homeowners, laundry is probably the least enjoyable household task to do. But maybe you can change that by sprucing up your laundry room. You’ll find that a few simple upgrades can make a load of difference to your laundry experience.

1. Add a farmhouse sink. Start things off by making the space more practical. One way to do this is by adding a farmhouse sink. Its deep basin is not only handy for washing delicates, but also adds a lovely, vintage look to your laundry room. Farmhouse sinks are available in a wide variety of materials. If white porcelain isn’t your thing, there are other options that allow you to match your farmhouse sink with your laundry space easily.

2. Keep comfort and aesthetics in mind. The average laundry cycle takes about 87 minutes, and if the existing space is drab, nobody would be spending time there longer than is necessary. With a bit of creativity, you can make your laundry room something you’d be excited to use.

3. More storage is better. When every item has its own little place, keeping your laundry room clean and organized will be a breeze. Consult Cottage Industries, Inc for customizable, smarter storage options to make your laundry experience less of a chore.

4. Improve the lighting. Laundry rooms tend to be small and cramped, which is one of the reasons people don’t like spending much time there. This can be mitigated by effectively mixing task, accent and ambient lighting. You can also increase the room’s access to natural light by adding a window or skylight, if possible.

5. Don’t overlook proper ventilation. Laundry uses up a considerable amount of water, meaning it will also generate excess indoor moisture. To keep the laundry room fresh and clean – and to prevent mold and mildew from growing inside the space – make sure the room has sufficient ventilation.
