Great Ideas for Laundry Rooms

Why not make your laundry room inviting and awesome like the rest of your house? Let´s not neglect a place where we spend (at least I do) so much (wish it could be less!) of our time. Here are some ideas from Better Homes & Gardens which I think you will like.<br /><br /><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss3.jpg',480,480);"> <img alt="elegent laundry room" border="0" src="http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/ss_laundries_ss3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 624px;" /></a><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss4.jpg',480,480);" linkindex="72"> </a><br />If you are the sophisticated type you will surely like this laundry room with kitchen-style dark wood cabinets, glass-panel doors, and a comfortable reading chair.<br /><br /><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss4.jpg',480,480);" linkindex="72"><img alt="built-in cabinets with laundry" border="0" src="http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/ss_laundries_ss4.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 624px;" /></a><br />Built-in yellow cabinets with a hinged door for maximum access enclose the washer and driyer to conceal the appliances when they're not in use. A large countertop offers a flat workspace for folding, ironing, and sorting clothes. Choose a countertop material that isn't especially sensitive to heat or laundry<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><br /></span><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss5.jpg',480,480);" linkindex="72"> <img alt="corner laundry space" border="0" src="http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/ss_laundries_ss5.jpg" style="width: 498px; height: 572px;" /></a><br />A corner in the kitchen can double as a laundry space like this laundry area, without taking over the space. Front-loading stacked washer and dryer units are built-in, and a closet and other appliances are hidden under counter space with their own curtain.<br /><br /><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss7.jpg',480,480);" linkindex="72"> <img alt="laundry room with cabinets" border="0" src="http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/ss_laundries_ss7.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 500px;" /><br /> </a>Placing the laundry room and appliances near a window offers natural light and a view outside. Built-in cabinets offer storage that gives visibility to inside contents.<br /><br /><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss8.jpg',480,480);" linkindex="72"> <img alt="small laundry room" border="0" src="http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/ss_laundries_ss8.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 500px;" /><br /> </a>This small corner illustrates the benefit of good planning. Every inch of space, from the cabinets with flip-up doors above the machines to the medium-size <a href="http://www.bhg.com/topics/home-improvement/plumbing/sinks.htm" linkindex="77"></a>around the corner, is put to work.<br /><br /><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss9.jpg',480,480);" linkindex="72"> <img alt="laundry room" border="0" src="http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/ss_laundries_ss9.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 503px;" /><br /> </a>Two sets of washers and dryers help speed up the laundry chores. Built-in, cabinet-depth appliances leave countertop space for laundry tasks, and a row of windows brings in natural light. Be sure to have your plumber check your drain capacity before you move head with a plan like this.<br /><br /><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss10.jpg',480,480);" linkindex="73"> <img alt="mudroom/laundry room" border="0" src="http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/ss_laundries_ss10.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 500px;" /><br /> </a>This mudroom/laundry space is easy to access while running errands or completing other household chores, without cluttering the high traffic space. Built in cabinets and a front loading washer and dryer save floor space for entering and exiting the space.<br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.bhg.com/">Better Homes & Gardens</a>.<br /><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss3.jpg',480,480);"><br /></a><a href="javascript:popupWindowFix('RemodelPopUp','/remodel/imagePopUp.jsp?imageUrl=http://images.meredith.com/remodel/images/2007/11/p_laundries_ss3.jpg',480,480);"> </a>
