Hey, Y’all! I hope you’re enjoying this spring season and all the fun activities that come along with warmer weather! I know I’m personally LOVING spending more time outdoors these days (just not the yellow stuff sprinkled everywhere, am I right 😉)! With that extra time exploring outside, another thing that many of us don’t necessarily enjoy may increase, and that’s laundry! For those with families, you definitely know what I’m talking about! Laundry can turn into a full-time job, so it’s beneficial to have a laundry space that brings you a little joy, even while you’re tackling some general housekeeping!
With that said, I’m so excited to share with you a recent laundry room revamp that we completed! If you’re looking for some inspiration on how this space in your home can be taken to the next level, this is it, y’all!
Where It Started
When our clients approached Ivory Lane Interiors about a laundry room revamp, they had just moved into a home that was new to them but that had been built a few years prior. Like many modern new-construction homes, theirs included standard white, builder-grade cabinets inside the laundry room and was essentially a blank palette overall. The room contained a utility sink but didn’t have a dedicated space to fold laundry. Those standard cabinets were also less than ideal for optimizing storage and organization in the space. It was simply a basic shell for a laundry room that had room to grow in order to be the most efficient!
Color and Cabinetry
Our clients wanted this room to feel completely rejuvenated and more exciting than the blank, white aesthetic that was present when they found it. When we started, they had already replaced the original flooring with fun, new tilework that incorporated a pop of navy blue into the room. Playing off of this color scheme, we decided to replace the existing cabinetry with navy cabinets that truly make a statement in the room. Navy provides an inviting pop of color that’s warm and fun but still somewhat neutral. In order to optimize storage space, we chose extended cabinets, which are often used in kitchens to house a built-in microwave. This type of cabinetry is deeper and provides more room for storage baskets and organization overall. It’s all about getting the most out of the space you have, and this truly makes a difference!
Counters and Hardware
To maintain a modern and warm aesthetic, we chose to incorporate quartz countertops that have the appearance of concrete. This countertop selection not only plays into the industrial chic vibe but is also extremely durable. As we often say at Ivory Lane Interiors, beauty should always tie together with functionality! The gorgeous texture of the quartz is just a stunning contrast with the fun tile floors and navy cabinetry. Last but not least, we finished off this laundry revamp with updated hardware all around and new lighting. These are items that can’t be overlooked when refreshing a space, and it’s an understatement to say that they go a long way! To ensure continuity throughout the home overall, our selections for hardware and lighting mirrored what could be found throughout the rest of the house. It’s all about the details, y’all!
So, this laundry room truly went from one that didn’t stand out at all to a bright, highly functional, inviting space that just might make you excited to do some laundry! We think our clients will enjoy this part of their home for years to come and find their new level of storage so helpful in maintaining organization. We love the way this laundry room turned out and hope you found some helpful tips from why we chose what we did for this revamp! Let us know in the comments what you love about this makeover, and don’t forget to subscribe to the blog! Until next time, enjoy that spring weather, y’all!
Sending Love from GA,
