15 Stylish + Practical Laundry Room Countertop Ideas

The copper-colored laundry room of the HGTV Dream Home 2021 is as warm as it is hardworking. An engineered quartz countertop is an ultra-durable choice for laundry rooms, since it's non-porous, stain-resistant and antibacterial. Matte black hardware pairs with platinum gray cabinets to balance the autumnal hue of the space.

This home's attic has been transformed into a spacious laundry room, complete with dual washers and dryers. Pretty aqua cabinets are topped with bright white quartz countertops and backsplash. Playful wallpaper, by Lilly Pulitzer for Kravet, sets a whimsical scene.

This monochromatic laundry room makes bold design choices by combining black appliances with ebony cabinets and countertops. Marble hexagon floor tiles bring lightness to the room so it doesn't feel too oppressive, while an emerald green backsplash and floor detailing add to the overall moody aesthetic.

Don't miss an opportunity to add extra counterspace in your laundry room. In this cottage-inspired space, a small wooden countertop is installed above the washer and dryer for an additional folding and storage area.

Sometimes your countertops are the star of the room, and other times, they play the supporting role. In this laundry room, the black countertops allow the green cabinets below to really shine. Upper white cabinets and glossy subway tiles create a striking balance.

Serenely cool, this laundry room is a breath of fresh air. Stainless steel countertops reflect the finish of the washer and dryer, bringing in a modern note. Stain and rust resistant, stainless steel is perfect for tackling your laundry pile — no matter what you're working with. Another bonus to this material is that installation is easier than most countertops, since you don't have to account for the sealing process.

Even if you're working with a small laundry closet, a countertop can maximize the use of your space.

Natural stone countertops infuse a space with an earthy quality. While natural stone, like granite and marble, often has a bigger price tag than its fellow countertop options, installing stone in small spaces allows you to get the luxe look for less.

Opt for an uncomplicated solution, like a wood or laminate countertop, that can be quickly positioned over your washer and dryer — instantly doubling your surface area. Floating shelves introduce essential and easy access storage in this small laundry room.

One of the more budget-friendly options, laminate countertops are easy to clean and stain resistant. They also come in a wide variety of colors, patterns and styles, so you're able to select the exact countertop you want.
