Breezy Bay Blue

Turns out that some beach somewhere is conveniently located right upstairs in this renovated attic laundry room. The space boasts two washers and dryers, amplifying counter space for sorting through clothes and folding towels with ease. The walls and ceiling are wrapped in a contemporary coastal toile pattern and the cabinetry is painted in the same beachy aqua hue to create a cohesive look. White floors, countertops, window trim and tile backsplash soften the splashy walls and tie all the unique elements together.

Sunny Yellow + Mint Green

Lively yellow and white wallpaper pairs with mint trim and cabinetry in this laundry room by D2 Interieurs. The peppy color pairing feels fresh and retro, creating an inviting and energizing space for homeowners to tackle laundry piles throughout the week. Chrome hardware and marble countertops balance the bright hues and evoke a sense of timeless sophistication.

Crisp White

Airy, bright and white – this space by Martha O’Hara Interiors serves as the ultimate muse for a clean and classic laundry room design. The galley style room is fit for a large family with two sets of stacked machines. Opposite the washing machines is a wall of white cabinetry with modern black hardware, a blonde wood countertop and porcelain farmhouse-style sink that is ideal for tackling everyday stains. A white brick backsplash bridges the space between the cabinetry and brings texture to the otherwise streamlined design.

Modernized Marigold

Colorful clothes are sure to feel at home in this laundry room by Kelly Rogers Interiors. A black and white botanical wallpaper print creates a neutral backdrop for blazing artwork, onyx countertops and rich marigold cabinetry. A polished nickel gooseneck faucet and matching nickel hardware neutralizes the warm finishes woven throughout the space, adding an upscale modernity to the golden hue that’s most often featured in traditional interiors.

Barely There Greige

Choosing between gray and beige? Let this dream laundry room by Stefani Stein convince you to meet in the middle with a misty greige hue. The cabinetry is coated with the light tone to achieve a space fit for daily chores and is abundant with a bright and airy appeal. The toned down neutral is a failproof choice for satisfying your desire for a light space without resorting to a stark white.

Cornflower Cabinets

Brilliant blue cabinets steal the show in this cozy laundry and mudroom by interior designer Kristina Crestin. Woven baskets and a golden, butcher-block folding table create handsome contrast in the saturated blue hue, while the soft white walls and slate floors balance the rich tones at play within the space.

Inky Accent

This design proves two things: black and white is always a good idea and all laundry rooms should come equipped with a dog spa. The design features a newspaper print wallpaper on the upper half of the walls contrasted by black chair railing that wraps the perimeter of the room. Get the look at home by painting a portion of your laundry room walls in a moody black hue contrasted by white wallpaper or trim.

Sage Advice

Black and white graphic tiles join forces with soft sage walls, doors and trim to outfit this cozy craftsman laundry nook. The creamy green hue adds an airy look to the design and diffuses the dramatic pattern lining the walls. Create a similar look by applying a high contrast wallcovering or tile to your laundry room walls and painting a creamy, neutral hue on the doors, cabinetry and trim.

Orange Slice

This charming cottage laundry room is ablaze with color. The white cabinets are framed by sunny yellow gingham print wallpaper, while a vibrant orange paint packs panache on the ceiling. A ruffled floral skirt sports a mix of both of the citrus hues and hides unsightly laundry supplies beneath the farmhouse-style sink.

Pop of Purple

A cheery purple and yellow floral wallpaper enlivens this utility room by interior designer Ann Lowengart. The whimsical wallpaper surrounds contemporary white cabinetry adorned with nickel and acrylic hardware pulls, and lavender paint on the window muntins helps pull the design together.

Vivid in Viridescent

The soft green hue that covers the cabinetry in the laundry room space is simply divine. Not too much, but just enough to add a little character and pizzaz to your laundry room, this color doesn't disappoint.

Electric Cobalt + Yellow

Small spaces provide the perfect opportunity to pack in some serious color and have a little fun with design elements. Interior designer Susannah Watts plays with electrifying primary hues in this midcentury modern laundry room that doubles as a craft workspace. The desk cabinets are painted cobalt blue and a bright yellow chair offers owners a spot to sit while folding clothes or working on art projects.

Charming in Baby Blue

What's not to love about this laundry room? The cabinets and ceiling are painted light blue and paired with a spotted gray wallpaper. The brick flooring neutralizes the light colors, grounding the space (in more than one way).

Awash in Gray

This laundry room lives much larger than its square footage, thanks to smart painting by its designers. The base cabinets that flank the washer and dryer are just 18-inches deep, but extending the wall of cabinetry all the way to the 12-foot ceiling vastly increases the usable space. Windows visually expand the room, and the natural light flooding in enhances the warm notes in the soft gray paint.

Green With Envy

Who says laundry has to be boring? Take cues from designer Michele Bitter and paint the laundry room lime green, add a Granny Smith fridge for extra storage, and watch it become one of your favorite rooms in the house.

Moody Emerald and Black

This laundry room packs a punch with its moody color scheme of black and emerald green. The black cabinetry is paired with a deep green backspash and tile boarder, making for a eye-catching laundry area.

Beige Beauty

Who says beige is boring? This laundry room proves otherwise. Beige walls are accented by lacquered, navy cabinetry, creating a striking, yet subdued space. “Laundry rooms can be quite stressful, especially with all the mess and the utilitarian work that is done, so I wanted to keep the palette very, very serene,” says designer Tiffany Brooks.

Rich Ruby

Not one to shy away from the spotlight? Neither is this ruby red laundry room. The eclectic utility room design features a lacquered accent wall with French doors that wash the space with sunlight. Creamy cabinets brighten the room and offer plenty of storage, as well as some cool amenities, like an ironing board that folds out.
