Coastal Cool

A two-toned patterned floor sets the mood in this laundry space, where white shiplap and gray paint on the walls echo the tiles underfoot. Subtle accessories — the location sign and a pair of shells — hint at the room’s beachy locale, without shouting it from the rooftops.

Country Charm

A pair of sculptural, antique-inspired floral sconces give this room feminine flair, while the traditional prints on the wallpaper, drapes and sink skirt add sunny cottage personality. Bonus: The massive farmhouse sink is both a classic touch and a utilitarian workhorse.

Industrial With a Twist

The wheeled, reclaimed woodwork table and distressed brick floor in this laundry room bring to mind a gardener’s shed. In contrast, the more refined touches, like the pale blue cabinetry and graphic wallpaper, soften its rough edges.

Unapologetic Glamour

With dramatic, metallic wallpaper that carries across the ceiling, multiple chandeliers, black and white checkerboard flooring and red appliances, this space puts a new spin on the once boring laundry room.

Whimsical Wallpaper

If your laundry room doesn’t have a window, you’ve got to make your own sunshine. Take a cue from this sweet space, where bright butterflies and birds cover the walls and a clever wall-mounted drying rack creates the suggestion of outdoor access. Cheery accessories in lemon yellow and supersaturated fuchsia complete the look.

Three Dimensional Tile

This neutral coastal room is all about the faceted, hand-glazed tile on the backsplash that creates subtle visual interest. Combined with matching paint and a neutral countertop and cabinetry, the space brings to mind a fog rolling in along the coast.

Seaside Stripes

Two bold choices — that is, this laundry room’s multicolored faux-bois flooring and its bright, striped pendant — harmonize beautifully, thanks to how closely their hues mirror each other. Don’t be shy about combining elements with strong personalities like these, but do take the time to be sure you’ve really dialed in your color story.

Advanced Geometry

These graphic artisanal tiles from Clé make a bold statement on both the floor and the backsplash in this cool, contemporary laundry room. Solid blue upper cabinets and sleek, warm wood complement the space’s spectacular ceramics.

From: Natalie Myers

Playful Palette

This laundry room has a whimsical feel that is revealed behind its sliding barn door. A vibrant green acrylic sink, bright orange penny tiles and splashy green walls combine to take this space to a whole new level. This laundry room puts the fun in functional!

Eclectic and Electric

More is definitely more in this quirky space where a '70s Cuban film poster rubs shoulders with intricate black and white wallpaper, butter yellow cabinets and a contrasting black countertop. It’s an illustration of the idea that if you’re truly committed to whimsy, it’s worth going all the way.

A Load of Whites, a Glass of Red

This transitional space features highlights like Galbraith & Paul’s elegant “Lotus” wallpaper, a gleaming, art deco-inspired light fixture and a pair of wine refrigerators for refreshing drinks in the media room it adjoins. Now that’s what we call a well-equipped laundry room.

From: Ann Lowengart

Room With a View

This warm and welcoming space demonstrates a useful way to think about decorating your laundry room. Think about what you’ll be able to see when you’re in other parts of your home and build out from there. Here, a pair of distressed doors, a textured runner and a single piece of graphic art give the narrow area all the personality it needs.

Sweet Details

How charming are the simple accessories on the open shelving in this practical and pretty space? The Arabesque tile on the backsplash serves as elegant counterpart to the more rustic elements seen in the space, like the ventilated cabinets’ wire faces and the wooden shelves.

From: Lauren Clement

Vintage Gem

Now, this is how shabby chic translates to the 21st century. This laundry room’s exuberant color palette begins with the antique laundry supplies on upper shelves and carries through to the minty subway tile, vintage-inspired glass hardware and a colorful accent rug.

From: Alison Kandler

Secret Passage

This traditional laundry area has one very modern feature - look to the left of the bottom shelf beyond the china hutch and you’ll see a doggie door that’s for this family’s four-legged member. (A helpful reminder that the coolest thing a laundry room can do is meet its household’s unique needs.)

From: Mary Bokovoy

Southern Charm

This handsome space owes its classic good looks to its South Carolina setting. Details like the mirrored sconce and pendant, May River sign, shiplapped walls and nail-trimmed island offer an updated take on country living.

Bright Ideas

There’s no danger of being bored while doing chores in this laundry room. Baby blue cabinets and an eye-popping floral wallpaper gives way to an even bolder jolt of pure neon pink in the next room. The lesson here? Go big when you go home.

From: Ana Donohue

Heavy Metal

In the absence of its dramatic, art deco-inspired sunburst wallpaper, this transitional laundry room would be a fairly nondescript space. With that paper (subtly echoed in cabinet pulls and accessories with similar tones), it’s stealthily chic.

From: House of Jade Interiors

Buttoned Up Blues

Nods to traditional style can be seen in this moody space, where a Chippendale-style chair and an art deco light fixture accent deep blue surfaces and a rich hued hardwood floor. In a sun drenched space like this one, don’t be shy about using deep hues to develop a bit of drama.

Beautiful in Blue

This ethereal blue laundry room is a beautiful space that will have you ready to tackle the chores. The walls and ceiling are covered in a gorgeous teal and white wallpaper and the cabinetry is painted to match. Who would have thought a laundry room could be so soothing?

From: Kelly Ferm

Something for Everyone

This stylish and spacious utility area features countless cabinets, an extensive laundry area and an expansive home office space. Crown glass in the window above the sink adds a bit of history and graphic detail to the room.

From: Angelica Henry Design

Urban Ambiance

A metallic silver backsplash and muted gray cabinets give this modern laundry room a luxe, metropolitan feel. How often does staying in and washing a few loads of clothes fell like a night on the town?

From: Kara Thomas

Serene in Seafoam

The woodwork in this laundry room is painted a seafoam green and paired with a Chinoiserie white and blue wallpaper, making for a simply stunning combination. The large space boasts two washer and dryers, allowing homeowners to get the laundry completed in record time, while in a remarkable space.

From: Maggie Griffin

Divine Design

Striped wallpaper, a herringbone backsplash and Mediterranean floor tiles create a cohesive look against the pale gray cabinets in this laundry area. Since the floor tiles and backsplash have similar tones, their patterns complement instead of clash with one another.

From: Lauren Clement

Traditional Space, Modern Convenience

With a large amount of counterspace, room for a desk and a refrigerator, this laundry room has it all. On top of that, the timeless style of this room makes this space easy on the eyes.

Pop Farmhouse

Considered individually, the floral penny tiles, mint green cabinets, graphic wallpaper and art deco pendants in this room could feel retro. In combination with one another, they’re something entirely new (and delightful).

From: D2 Interieurs

Continental Grace

Graphic flooring and meticulously detailed cabinets rise up to ivory subway tiles in this pale, soothing laundry room. Those three decorative elements are substantial enough that a trio of Mason jars with hydrangea stems makes the space feel complete.

From: Andrea Bazilus

Practical Luxury

This contemporary laundry room and mudroom give a stylish take on an everyday chore. The artfully arranged hexagon tiles, blue grasscloth wallpaper and the gleaming gold fixtures bring a striking and appealing look to the space.

From: Erica Bryen Design

Extended Boudoir

This delicate laundry room takes cues from its main suite’s dressing room. The curios and accessories it displays feel especially personal, while the wallpaper gives the space color and character.

Pretty in Purple

White appliances and cabinets fade into the background of this laundry room, letting the wallpaper's fun, colorful pattern be the star. The window muntins are painted a matching purple that adds a detailed and designer look to the space.
