Rustic but Chic Laundry Rooms

 When I first saw Sarah Richardson's laundry room I stopped dead in my tracks. It was sleek & chic, but rustic enough to fit right into the modern farmhouse vibe in her Off the Grid home. This is 10 steps up from the laundry rooms that depended on the machine tops to fold laundry. If nothing else, this pandemic has taught us that minimal design with its clean lines affords ease in maintenance and promotes sanitary habits. 


What I love about this - the components are super affordable. She used IKEA butcher block countertops, mitered the corners to wrap the washer/dryer. The cabinets are also from IKEA - living room media components. again super affordable - Lightbulb moment here for me.

If you want more information or are curious about how she put it all together with the wall materials go -here.

This isn't the only installation of wrapped washer dryer units that Sarah has done. This is from her latest renovation...go here to get all the deets and check out the material on the side of the appliances.

And talk about the natural wicker elements she added to warm up the light walls.


After noticing those waterfall counters in Sarah's laundry, I've been noticing them everywhere. Below is one of my favorites. 



From the subway tile on the wall, to the butcher block counter, open shelving, farm sink and the detailing on its side, this laundry room hits a home run for me.

This laundry doesn't use natural wood tones, but there's a whole lot of wonderful features going on here, don't you think? Perfect for a mudroom space. Places to hang your coats and a bench to sit as you take off shoes & boots. You'll find
 lots of extra inspiration on this site

 

This laundry doesn't have a waterfall counter but it still hits all the right notes for me. What's your favorite element of this room?


Have a top loader... no problem, you can still get a similar vibe.



Laundry isn't my favorite household chore, but it would be a lot more pleasurable if I could do it in one of these rooms. How about you?

Until next time...
