Farmhouse Lanterns

Who knew a mudroom could be so beautiful? It has a casual elegance with design features like subway tile and the giant farmhouse sink. The black window trim and lanterns give the room a more sophisticated vibe, bringing a farmhouse chic look to the space.

Frosted Glass

Milk glass has made a comeback. This retro trend is popping up everywhere, including in this stylish laundry room, where a matching pair of pendants can be seen over the folding island.

Matching Pendants

Who says a laundry room has to be beige and boring? Brighten your chore room with your favorite color — and use it everywhere! We love this monochrome sea foam laundry room with matching cabinets and pendants.

Statement Chrome

Even the laundry room is dreamy in the 2021 HGTV Dream Home. The space features a semi-flush mount light with a super sleek chrome finish. And the domed diffuser on the bottom casts a beautiful, calming glow.

Wall-Mounted Honeycomb

Wall-mounted ceiling lights have a reputation for being boring, but they don't have to be. You can add interest with the shape, such as this glam honeycomb. Paired with the lotus wallpaper, it creates a luxe Art Deco-inspired vibe.

French Country Chandelier

Pendant trends come and go, but chandeliers are forever. Yes, we're 100% suggesting you install a chandelier in your laundry room if you're feeling fancy. It doesn't have to be a giant one, as demonstrated by the tiny French Country style chandelier that fits perfectly in this rustic Nashville home.

Coordinating Hardware

There's a saying when using different metal finishes in your decor: "Two's company and three's a crowd." Coordinated hardware or a universal metal finish really does pull a room together, even the laundry room. This space uses a bright, shiny copper for both the cabinet pulls and the pendant's frame.

Fun Stripes

Laundry will never be fun, but that doesn't mean you can't have an exciting laundry room. This whimsical space has an almost cartoon-like personality with bright colors and bold, striped lighting.

Colonial Lantern

For a more traditional look, hanging colonial lanterns are a classic and timeless option. And you can shop outdoor porch styles, too.

Industrial Vibes

How cute is this antique factory light? The pewter gray looks great paired with the bright green cabinets and oak floors.

Giant Pendant

Instead of a series of tiny pendants or a strip of track lighting, go big with one statement fixture. This mega shade packs tons of drama, but, by leaving the pendant white to match the ceiling and walls, it doesn't overwhelm the room.

Oiled Bronze

For an Old World look or a weathered, antique vibe, try oiled bronze. It's not as shiny as chrome or copper, but bronze works with just about any design style. This solid-cast metal flush mount light looks great paired with the dramatic tiled walls seen in the 2016 HGTV Urban Oasis.

Classic Drum Shades

You can't go wrong with a drum shade, whether you're shopping for bedside table lamps or pendants for the laundry room. The shape is timeless and if you choose a neutral linen fabric, it will go with any color or design style.

Iron Orb

Chandeliers don't have to be a traditional trident shape. This orb chandelier makes a huge impact, partly because it's literally huge. At 36 inches wide, it still doesn't feel overwhelming in this laundry room, thanks to the high ceilings.

Accent Lamp

If you live in a rental and can't change the light fixtures, add style with a table lamp. The 2012 HGTV Urban Oasis even used a classic white and glass table lamp to style this timeless space.
