60 Laundry Room Ideas That Will Make You Think About A Remodel
Let's face it; laundry day is an unavoidable task. No matter how much we want to avoid it, it's inevitable we'll have piles of dirty clothes and laundry baskets overflowing if we do. If you're anything like us, home is where we can be inspired — and once you are finished renovating your bathrooms and kitchens, it's time to consider reinvigorating your laundry room and transforming it into a place you actually want to spend all day washing, drying, and folding your endless mounds of clothes. "Secretly, I've always loved designing laundry rooms. For me they're such enjoyable and hard-working spaces to design, and when given proper time and thought, can really make a difference in the daily lives of our clients," said Irene Gunter, referring to her interior design consultancy, Gunter & Co, to Homes & Gardens.
