![]() ![]() If you need laundry room cabinetry but aren't planning a full renovation any time soon, a simple off-the-shelf kitchen wall cabinet is a more than adequate stand in. They allow for all-important laundry room storage and good organization, while also closing the door on visible clutter, so are a great investment. Cabinets are a natural part of a thoughtful laundry room design. If budget allows, considering updating your laundry room cabinet ideas. There are so many beautiful ways to update an old laundry room. 'The laundry room had too many openings (four doors and a window), so we actually closed the openings to create room for clever storage solutions, and added a colorful backsplash and wallpaper,' says Amalia Gal, founder and principal designer at Amalia Gal Interior Design. Amalia opened the wall between the kitchen and dining room, closed an exterior window and a door to the laundry room in order to give the homeowners more laundry room countertop space and laundry room closet ideas – all with a modest budget. The kitchen was original to the house, built in the 1940s, but very closed off.

'I am very particular in how I do laundry, so incorporating the sink into this design plan was crucial to the usability of the space for me. I wanted to keep the room playful, so I paired the cocoa Dalmatian dot wallpaper from Spoonflower with the fabric to give the room an element of fun.' 'During the time, I was working on a couple of client projects and in my pile of fabric options, I had a sample of the Celerie Kemble Schumacher fabric, and I knew somehow I needed to use this in my laundry room. I wanted to use this fabric in an impactful way, and that’s when I decided I would not only use it as my decorative roman shade, but I would make a sink skirt out of it as well. ![]() I also love color, and I love the pattern so I knew the final design had to incorporate both of those elements.' So, when it came time to do this renovation I knew that I needed to come up with a floor plan that would better utilize the space and add a ton more storage. 'Every time I would walk into my small laundry room I would get frustrated because of the lack of laundry room organization and storage. Also, the room itself was so uninspiring and it didn’t make you feel good when you were using the space. ![]()
