Bobby Berk Shows Us The Simplest Way To Give Your Laundry Room A Chic New Look
Bobby Berk, who stars in Netflix's "Queer Eye" as the design pro, is known for turning lackluster homes into gorgeous spaces. And while Berk has announced that he is leaving the hit show, he is not straying away from his passion: interior design. Berk's recent book release offers many tips from organization to designing small spaces, but he is also sharing a lot of really great design tips on his TikTok.
One of those tips includes a super easy way to update your laundry room and give it an entirely new look. With the addition of peel-and-stick wallpaper, Berk's TikTok shows what a big impact it can have on your laundry space. The video shows a before shot of a run-of-the-mill laundry space with a washer and dryer and not much else. As Berk opens the door again, he reveals a gorgeous, chic space that requires hardly any leg work and works with mostly any budget.
How to get the look for your laundry room
Bobby Berk launched a line of peel-and-stick wallpaper with the company Tempaper & Co., offering gorgeous options in a variety of colors and styles. In his laundry room upgrade TikTok, Berk uses one of his own designs called Wiggle Room to give life to the space. In addition to adding the wallpaper, Berk, who is a pro at styling surfaces, also put the laundry items, like laundry pods, into glass containers and added a few decor items, including a much-needed pop of greenery, to round out the look.
All of Berk's wallpaper designs from this collection are bold without being too serious. He focuses on lines and shapes, and any wallpaper option would do wonders for an otherwise boring laundry room. We also love this striped style, which would give your laundry room an instant modern upgrade, and this "eye-catching" style for a unique, fun spin that will make doing laundry just a bit less drab.
Less expensive ways to get Berks laundry room style
Peel-and-stick wallpaper is a great and easy way to turn any room, specifically your laundry room, into something new and exciting. A single roll of Bobby Berk's wallpaper, which is about 28 square feet, will cost you about $48, so depending on the size of your room, it can add up quickly. If you need something more cost-effective, we love this room brightening option from Walmart for just $20 or this similar Berk-esque option from Amazon, which costs as low as $6 for 14.5 square feet of wallpaper.
Beyond wallpaper, Berk added life to the room by adding small accents throughout. Think outside the box and take items you likely already have in your home, like the small green plant in your guest bathroom or the unused ceramic vase on your TV stand, and put them on your laundry room shelves instead. If you don't have items to spare, you can find great options for less, like this green plant from Target for just $5 or this chic ceramic vase from H&M for $5.
