10. Clever Concealment
This laundry area is located in a second-story hallway of a home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Architect Michael Klement of Architectural Resource and interior designer Melissa Kennedy of Meadowlark Design+Build used sliding barn doors with stylish millwork to cleverly conceal the laundry alcove. The space includes a sink for handwashing and soaking, ample countertop space for folding, a fold-down ironing board and cabinets and baskets for storage.

8. Sunny Disposition
While beautiful windows let in natural light, sunny yellow wallpaper and coordinating gooseneck sconces also brighten this cheerful Wisconsin laundry room. The pros at Colby Construction provided loads of storage options in the space, including deep drawers and a long wall of cabinetry.

7. Elevated Camp Style
Located along the Gull chain of lakes in Minnesota, this home is in a woodsy, camp-like setting. Designer Laura Tays of Tays & Co Design Studios embraced the surroundings with vintage-style cabinet hardware, wood accents and a plaid tile floor. But she elevated the overall look with gorgeous soapstone for the counters and sink, brass faucets and a lovely window.

6. Shades of White
These clients in Moonee Ponds, Australia, tasked interior designer Tennille Burnup of Tennille Joy Interiors with modernizing their 1930s bungalow with European-inspired flair. In the laundry room, she brightened up the space with shades of white. Dark cabinet hardware and gray grout on the herringbone backsplash add contrast.

5. Modern Farmhouse Vibe
Jeanna Letzring of Pinnacle Interior Designs had a lot to fit into this laundry room and mudroom in Maple Grove, Minnesota. It needed to serve as a landing zone for the family as it entered the house from the garage, and it also needed to hold the washer, dryer, a utility sink and a spot for the cat’s litter box (which slides under the bench). Letzring coordinated the style to match the modern-farmhouse-style kitchen the homeowners were planning to complete at a later date. Shiplap behind the bench, Shaker-style cabinetry with leather pulls, an alder bench and a herringbone travertine floor give the desired look.

4. Cute and Compact
Located off a frequently used entrance to a Cherry Hill, New Jersey, home, this laundry room and mudroom makes a great first impression. Kyle Baptiste and Phoebe DeFries of Next Level Remodeling knew a light color palette would make the room feel large and airy. They anchored the space with a pretty floral-patterned tile on the floor. And a white oak countertop over the machines brings in a lovely natural material that provides a handy surface for folding clothes.

3. Rhapsody in Blue
For this stylish Morrison, Colorado, laundry room, interior designer Laura Medicus used a mix of soapstone countertops, brass hardware, backsplash tile with a handmade look, a patterned cement floor tile and cabinets painted in Benjamin Moore’s Van Courtland Blue.
Some of the tricks that make the room so appealing are the way Medicus extended the backsplash and upper cabinets all the way to the ceiling and her addition of a charming rolling laundry basket.

2. Classic Colonial
Kipling House Interiors, Murphy & Co. and Hendel Homes collaborated on this Shoreview, Minnesota, laundry room. The homeowners wanted a beautiful and functional space that respected their home’s classic Colonial architecture. Details like the feet on the bottom of the Shaker-style cabinets, the handmade backsplash tile, the slate countertops and the classic polished nickel hardware lend a sense of age and timelessness. And elevating the front-loading machines makes doing laundry more ergonomic for the homeowners.

1. Creative Corner
Many Houzz users related to this compact laundry area, which tucks into the corner of a walkout basement mudroom in Victoria, British Columbia. Designer Adrienne Hempstock of Jenny Martin Design maximized the space with built-in cabinetry and a sink with a drying rod and shelf above. She also stayed true to the early 1900s architecture, choosing subway tile, millwork and cabinet profiles that suit the period.

It would have been nice to show a top loading washing machine. I will never give up my Speed Queen washer!!!
Just found it, #9. What is that rack above the dryer? Cause you sure cannot hang clothes on a rack that shallow.
I think most of the laundry rooms shown are not user friendly, IMHO. Where does the laundry detergent, softener, stain treatments, etc. go so they are easily within reach?? Where are the dirty clothes stored before they are washed? Where are the clothes baskets and their storage??
