Cohesive Feel
Located in the home's new addition with side entry, the laundry room and mudroom have a cohesive feel thanks to the same soothing color palette and textured wallpaper. The mudroom provides a spot to change shoes and transition from the outdoors, while the laundry room offers a comfortable space for getting home chores done.

Inspired by Nature
The lavender, pink, coral and different shades of orange seen in the linen mesh grass cloth wallpaper chosen for the laundry room and mudroom are the same colors seen in the beautiful sunsets that make Maine special.

Clean Dream Machine
The laundry room’s white front-load washer allows you to create customized washing cycles. The coordinating white front-load electric dryer has advanced moisture sensing to help prevent over drying, so you can dry clothes efficiently and keep them in tip-top shape.

Open Storage
Two floating white shelves above the washer and dryer provide open storage for folded towels and laundry essentials, with space for a storage box and woven baskets that make it easy to keep similar products and small items grouped together.

Smooth Transition
A pocket door off the laundry room provides a smooth transition to the staircase that leads down to the home's glass enclosed side entry. "If you live here and this is messy because you're doing laundry, you can completely partition yourself from everything else," says designer Brian Patrick Flynn. "And then because it's a pocket door, it doesn't take up any space."

Color Coordination
A vintage English bench found locally by the HGTV Urban Oasis 2020 design team was stripped and sprayed the same shade of lavender seen in the linen mesh grass cloth wallpaper that unites these hard-working areas of the home.

Mudroom Extras
A cozy throw blanket, a potted plant and a marble bowl that creates a stylish catchall tray decorate the top of the vintage bench. A durable tote bag by the bench sits ready for errands or day trips to explore the beauty of Maine.

Grab and Go
The sleek marble bowl makes it easy to corral keys, sunglasses and other small grab-and-go items you need as you head out of the laundry room and mudroom, and into the garage or driveway outside.
