When Annie, Cindy and I discussed laundry rooms as a Project Design topic, I instantly thought of my friend, Debbie’s beautiful classic laundry room. We also have Carla Aston Designed, Kelly from My Soulful Home, Melaine from My Sweet Savannah and Rachel from Hygge Home participating this time! You will find lots of inspiration with their links at the end of the post.
Debbie and I had fun creating bouquets in her laundry/flower arranging room. She collects fine French pottery by Astier de Villatte.
1. Flooring and Backsplash
The cement tiles are from a local store, Venetian Tile, and Stone. With a fun patterned floor, the backsplash is kept subtle and classic. Debbie also got the marble countertops and sink from Venetian.
2. Counter for Folding and a Bar for Hanging Clothes
I love that she has all this clear space for folding clothes.
3. Attractive Baskets
Baskets really help with sorting and to keep things organized. Debbie got them at The Container Store and she uses a pretty French rolling cart.
The walls are painted Benjamin Moore White Dove and the woodwork is Benjamin Moore Super White.
4. Meaningful Art
Art from her travels (like the vintage poster and handpainted ceramic, both from Italy) provide an escape from chores and personalize the space.
It’s nice that she has natural lighting from the window above the sink.
5. Classic Lighting
Debbie chose light fixtures with a timeless schoolhouse appeal from Restoration Hardware.
Can you see the built-in ironing board on the left in the photo below? Another great idea…hidden behind the door.
And those are ways to create a beautiful classic laundry room! Wouldn’t be so bad doing laundry in here, right? And an even better room to arrange flowers (more appealing to me :).
Let’s check out what these ladies have in store with their laundry rooms…
Loved this post, Mary Ann. I have one of those other “classic” laundry rooms, on the “dark side” of the basement. I’ve been collecting ideas and inspiration to give it an upgrade and some personality. I have a few ideas, but you offered so much more inspiration. Thank you for sharing!
Sounds like our laundry room in our building! Good luck, Janet!
This laundry room is gorgeous! I love the art, the marble and everything else! I cannot wait to check out the other blogs. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Elizabeth!
Wow! This is the kitchen (I mean laundry) room of my dreams! I love how light and bright it is and the gorgeous marble countertops and apron front sink. The floor adds something fun while still being traditional. I wouldn’t mind doing laundry one bit! What a dream to arrange flowers too in this gorgeous space!
What an AMAZING laundry room! I adore everything about it but especially that sink! Funny, I thought I was the only one that designed my laundry room to also be a flower arranging room. So, I can see I like your friend Debbie already. Beautiful!
Oh my goodness Mary Ann I LOVE Debbie’s laundry room. The window & door are so wonderful to have in the space. As for the elements I think each one compliments the other & work together to create a PIN worthy laundry room indeed. Thank you for having me on the tour!
LOVE your laundry room, Kelly. Thanks for joining us!
LOVE THE GREY AND WHITE!
NOW TO TACKLE MY LAUNDRY ROOM/PANTRY!!!!!!!!!!!
YIKES!
Ours is a group laundry room on the first floor and NOT blog worthy…I will show you when you visit.
Love everything about this laundry room! The marble, the floor, even the baskets. Just beautiful!
I don’t know if you noticed, Carla…the little grandbaby clothes. One of my favorite things 🙂
