Don’t let the whimsical wallpaper fool you—the laundry room in HGTV Dream Home 2017 is all about maximizing function. But do take a cue from designer Brian Patrick Flynn when it comes to giving your space character: “I covered the room with different shades of white, navy, and medium blues with a wallpaper that looks like a bunch of falling feathers,” he says. Stainless-finished fixtures and appliances adds a eye-catching shimmer to this trendy small space.

Placing your washer and dryer on pedestals not only eases strain on your back, but offers hidden compartment storage as well.

One key feature that sets this laundry room apart is the wash station, which makes it easy and convenient to do anything you’d rather keep out of the kitchen sink: treating stubborn stains, rinsing out mops and cleaning cloths, and even bathing pets.

A gooseneck faucet gives you the flexibility to fit larger items into the utility sink if necessary. This Delta Trinsic® faucet in Arctic Stainless features patented Touch2O® Technology that turns on and off with just a tap of your hand. Coming inside fresh from a muddy garden or your latest backyard project? You won’t leave a trace behind because you won’t have to touch a thing while you clean up.
