When purchasing a home, buyers often look at the kitchen space
and how many bedrooms there are, while largely ignoring other
rooms, including the laundry room. Oftentimes, the washer and
dryer are relegated to a dark corner of the basement or garage, and
homeowners simply accept their laundry lot.
More and more manufacturers now produce washers and dryers
that are both functional and aesthetically appealing. As a result,
homeowners and renters need not feel they have to hide laundry
rooms like they did in the past. Having the laundry nearby the
family action -- and paying attention to laundry room design -- can
make the work of keeping clothes tidy that much easier.
Many designers would agree that you need not sacrice style for
function in a laundry room. As with any other area of the house,
impart design elements into the room and make it a room in which
you want to spend time.
* First and foremost, select appliances that offer ff the features you
need and want. Also, nd appliances that t the space you have.
Front-loading appliances have become the latest must-have, but
some units may be too big or expensive for your space. Those with
a limited area for laundry can inv nn est in a stackable set, in which
the washer and dryer are combined into one vertical unit. For those
who want to add a pop of color, select among the variety of colored
washers and dryers that are turning up in store showrooms. You YY re
no longer limited to white, black and beige.
* Consider cabinetry in your laundry space. Cabinets and drawers
are not just for the kitchen. They can hide cleaning products,
detergent, dryer sheets and so much more. Fill drawers with stain-
removal sticks and items to mend clothes that may be missing a
button or have a small hole that needs tending.
* A laundry area also can be much more than just a place to
wash and fold clothes. Many people like to turn this spot into a
multipurpose zone. By including some shelving and a refrigerator
in the laundry room, you can create a food-storage pantry. A large
countertop normally used to fold clothes can also double as a gift-
wrapping station. Think about merging a laundry room with a craft
room where sewing or scrapbooking can take place.
* Remember to leave room for the soiled clothing. Raising hamper
bins off o ff f the oor to be suspended from a rod above the washer
frees up valuable oor space. Otherwise, keep the hamper behind a
curtain or tucked into a cabinet to ensure the laundry room always
looks neat, even when you havent yet gotten to the newest pile of
dirty clothes.
* Dont be afraid of adding color and artwork to the laundry space.
In fact, embrace it. Heres an out-of-the-way area of the home where
you can explore your creativity and have a little fun. Try an eye-
opening color, such as apple green or bright yellow to add a sunny
disposition to the room.
* You YY dont have to spend a fortune on a laundry room re-do. Shop
in salvage stores or antique shops for custom pieces to add character
to the space. You can probably nd cabinetry or shelving for a
fraction of the cost of new items, and these older items may add
more character to the space.
* Save space by installing a counter just above the dryer so you will
have a place to fold and stack clothing.
* The bulk of dirty clothes will be generated in the bedrooms and
bathroom of the house. But who wants to carry clothes down to a
laundry area on a lower level? See if you can tuck a laundry room
into an upstairs closet or nook to make doing laundry more practical.
Although a laundry room is often an afterthought, taking time to
organize and plan the space can make it both functional and inviting. nn
Put some consideration rr into how you design your laundry room. rr
Designing a laundry room
The McDowell News HOMEFINDER July 2013 11
When a young adult leaves the
comforts of home to set out on his or
her own, homeowners are left with a
bedroom that just calls out to be made
over. However, the experience of a
child leaving the nest can be bitter-
sweet, and some parents struggle with
the decision to renovate or leave the
room intact. Converting a room can
be an emotional process, but there are
several different ways to put a newly
vacated room to good use.
What to do with a room may hinge on
who still lives in the house. Another
child, for instance, may be interested
in upgrading to the room if it is
larger or has amenities that the previ-
ous bedroom does not offer, like a bet-
ter view or a bigger closet. Some have
plans for a craft space or a library.
Perhaps the room would be perfect for
a man cave or a quiet sitting area.
Keep in mind that the room may hold
sentimental value for the child, so
converting the space is not something
that should happen abruptly or without
prior notice given to the former oc-
cupant. Communication is key before
the room can be permanently changed
into a new room. To get started, follow
these guidelines.
* Start slowly. Broach the subject with
the former occupant
of the room to gauge
his or her reaction to
the idea. If your child
is supportive, then the
process may move
along more quickly.
If not, you may need
to wait a little longer
before starting the
renovation.
* Go through the
rooms contents togeth-
er. Your child may feel
his or her private sanc-
tum was violated if you
simply box up belong-
ings and ready them to be taken away.
Instead, go through the room together
and allow your son or daughter to pack
away items of sentimental value. Other
items can be donated. Consider which
pieces of furniture might be kept and
repurposed.
* Keep some items of value. Remem-
ber, you dont want your child to feel
like his or her identity
has been erased from
the house. Find a way
to incorporate some-
thing from the bedroom
into the new design to
pay homage to the per-
son who lived and grew
up in the room. Keep
a square of removed
wallpaper and frame
it. Put some well-read
childhood books on
a shelf. Have a place
of honor for the rst
soccer trophy. This way
when your child returns
home there will still be a piece of the
rooms former identity.
* Work through your new design plan.
Before removing furniture and any
items, draw up a detailed renovation
plan and establish a budget. If the
room will become a guest room, the
basics may already be there and you
simply need to introduce new linens
and a new paint color to transform
the space. Consider keeping the room
functional as a sleeping space in some
way -- whether moving in a sleeper
sofa or making a regular bed into a
daybed -- so when your son or daugh-
ter comes to visit, he or she will have a
comfortable space.
* Make it sophisticated. Adult spaces
differ from childrens spaces in their
sophistication. Starting fresh with
more streamlined furniture and
bolder colors in the room will give it a
grownup look.
Converting a childs former bedroom
into a new and exciting living space
for adults takes some planning and
sensitivity. A collaborative effort
between parent and child can make the
process can go much more smoothly.
