Modern Laundry Room Décor

There is a good chance that you are looking to give a modern look to this room. You already have a modern washing machine and dryer, so why not a modern laundry room décor?

Aim for Minimal

Nothing screams modern laundry décor more than minimal approaches. Sometimes the washing and drying equipment, cabinets that are painted with one color, a minimal sink, a simple flooring, and modern lighting are all you need for a tidy and sleek laundry room.

Minimal approaches are also great for color-themed decors, such as pink laundry room décor.

Whimsical Wallpapers

A unique wallpaper can give every room a whole new look. You can also use this option as an enhancement for a minimal laundry room décor. The options are limitless here, floral, abstract, patterned, etc.

If you choose a colorful and patterned wallpaper, make sure the flooring and ceiling are simple and easy on the eyes.

Stylish Tiles and Flooring

If you are a fan of monochromatic laundry décor, the right flooring can be the pop that your space needs. There are tons of eye-catching here as well, but black and white checkered floor tiles are probably the most popular.

Although traditional, it takes nothing away from your modern laundry room décor and even adds to it! Depending on your personal taste and the size of the laundry room, you can install small patterned tiles or bigger ones.

Multipurpose Laundry Décor

In many times, making the most out of one space translates into modernity. Your laundry room décor can also serve for other purposes, for example:

• You can let your laundry room double as a potting room for planting and arranging your favorite flowers.
• A hidden closet for home cooks or caffeine enthusiasts is another way to add more utility to your modern laundry room décor. A fully stocked pantry and bar would be another great option.
• Install a customize dog washing station with a mini shower and a utility sink.

Small Laundry Room Decorating Ideas

A small space does not mean that you have to give up on your dream laundry décor. Here are some ideas to decorate a compact laundry room.

One option is having a secret laundry room using pocket doors that hide the space nicely when not in use. The washer and dryer, utility sink, folding drying rack, and rolling laundry are all you need to have a complete and organized ‘secret’ laundry room décor.

Another option, especially if you have a narrow space, make the most out of every ‘top’ that you see and of course, walls. This scenario calls for custom base cabinets to place the machines on top of each other or to create an extra counter. Such counter obscures the machines while providing a surface for you to work on.

In addition to stacking the machines or adding a shelf on top of them, different types of shelves are also an essential part of small laundry room decorating ideas. You can go for:

• Built-in shelves
• Folding shelves
• Open crate shelving
• A washtub shelving unit
• Open shelf laundry storage with baskets
• Etc.

Depending on the overall laundry décor, you will know what the best material is and the color for them.

Laundry Room Wall Decor

An exciting project like installing a DIY faux brick wall can make the wall the star of the room. You can buy brick panels from an online store. Then, secure them into a stud, cut the extra parts using a jigsaw, and apply the spackling as the final step.

If you decide not to install wallpaper or go for penny tiles or vintage shiplap walls, another popular and eye-catching way for laundry room wall decor is using different signs. Funky vintage signs, signs with family member names, and other wall arts are all great options.

If you have open shelves, you can also place small plants or other decorative pieces to elevate your laundry room wall decor.
