Charming design details and lots of counter space and storage options make the laundry room an appealing and functional spot for doing household chores.

A high gloss pink tray hold smaller laundry supplies and a vase with fresh cuttings that bring the outdoors inside. The laundry room’s ample gray counters also allow space for glass cannisters filled with pet food and treats, with a wide drawer underneath for storing quick-reach items like clothes pins and lint remover balls.

A tall cabinet to the left of the countertop helps maximize storage. The white cabinetry features crown molding on top and a paneling detail that add character to the room.

A look inside the tall cabinet shows the advanced smart air filters included with HGTV Smart Home 2018. Each filter comes with a Bluetooth-enabled pressure sensor that measures air flow and usage and works with a smart phone app, to send a notification when the filter needs to be changed.
