Colorful Blue Laundry Room Makeover
Submitted by Design Share 
My laundry room used to be a bit of an embarrassment….Plain white walls, florescent overhead lighting, storage shelves that didn’t fit the space and clutter, clutter, clutter! It was overwhelming to go in there to do the wash, but go in I did, because I had to. The rest of my home is pretty much decorated to the nines, so it really didn’t make any sense to NOT do the laundry room. Actually, I have long yearned for this space to be inviting and looking good, it was always just so much easier to close the door and forget about it! Well, not any more. In one weekend, I banished the boring and corralled the clutter into what is now a functional, bright and cheery spot to do a chore we ALL have to do. I just love the color in there now, and it really does make a daily chore that much more pleasant.
This wire shelving unit was waaay too big in here.
Isn’t this a better use of the space?!
The same room also houses my water heater and air handling unit………
…but they’re nothing a curtain can’t conceal! I love soft architecture.
An extra task light helps spot stains for pre-treating.
Details help pull everything together
So, there you go! A laundry room transformed and another room decorated. direct fixes like changing out the florescent light for a cool moravian star, getting the laundry baskets up off the floor by hanging them on the wall with chunky, silver hooks and adding a few more shelves all staggered to work together for storage in metal bins and bright, cheery baskets. A functional, well organized and great looking laundry room. All in a days work! Just like laundry….
