Laundry Room

Whether you have a whole room for laundry or just a corner in the house or garage, with planning and organization you can maximize the space and make your task more efficient.
Check out these tips for designing a beautiful and efficient laundry room.

LAUNDRY ROOM DESIGN TIP 1: MAKE IT YOUR

  Whether you have a sprawling space or a tiny closet to work with, your laundry room should reflect your unique decorating style and blend in with your existing decor. Small spaces provide fantastic opportunities to take a few design risks so go ahead and make it your own! Now is the time to try out that bold floor tile, wallpaper or trendy pop of color you’ve been eyeing on Instagram.

If light, airy and neutral is more your speed then consider adding tone-on-tone texture to your walls with white subway tile or an affordable textured wallpaper such as this brick wallpaper. Making your laundry room feel like a “real room” will brighten your outlook on the task and add character to your home!

LAUNDRY ROOM DESIGN TIP 2: INCLUDE A LAUNDRY SINK IN YOUR DESIGN

Take exceptional design beyond the kitchen by installing a beautiful laundry sink. Laundry sinks are fantastic for hand-washing delicates, soaking stained items, pre-washing clothes, cleaning up paint brushes, washing off dirty shoes and taking care of kid and pet accidents. When considering laundry sinks, you want to look for a stain-resistant sink with a deep bowl. The BLANCO LIVEN™ sink is a great option that is offered in 8 heat, stain, and chip-resistant colors. It has an extra-deep 12″ bowl and comes with a beautiful space-saving basket designed to fit on top of the sink. The LIVEN’s small profile makes it an ideal option for tight spaces.

LAUNDRY ROOM DESIGN TIP 3: FORM SHOULD FOLLOW FUNCTION

When thinking through what your laundry design should include, form should follow function–meaning the purpose of the room should be the starting point for your design. Your laundry room should be designed with four zones in mind: sorting, washing/drying, ironing and folding/hanging.

LAUNDRY ROOM DESIGN TIP 4: MAXIMIZE STORAGE WITH CUPBOARDS, SHELVES, AND BASKETS

Take your cues from good kitchen designs and maximize your laundry storage with a combination of closed and open storage. In addition to laundry items, laundry rooms tend to house cleaning products, bulk supplies and other random but necessary household goods. Closed storage is an attractive way of keeping these items organized and accessible while still out of sight.

LAUNDRY ROOM DESIGN TIP 5: UTILIZE EVERY SQUARE INCH

While not everyone has the luxury of working with a large space or a large budget there are ways to improvise. If your laundry room is limited to a closet-sized space, this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice design or function. Think vertically in small spaces and utilize every square inch of space available to you.

It’s an investment, not an expense

A custom PremierOne Stratus garage floor is an investment in the real value of your home.

• Garage enhancement with custom flooring and cabinetry increase a home’s selling potential.
• A maximized garage with space to park the cars protects that investment from damage and deterioration from intense sun, rain, dirt and grit on windy days, snow, sleet and hail in the wintertime, and rust and paint damage from salt on the roads in snow country.
• Capture under-used space and convert it into functional living space and possibly avoid a move by making your home seem bigger.

Protecting that investment is easy if you follow these easy steps:

• Wipe up any spills immediately
• Regularly sweep with a soft broom or dust mop to keep dirt and dust to a minimum
• Mop the garage floor every few months with a low PH (neutral) cleaner like Simple Green to keep the floor immaculate (no citrus, vinegar or soap-based cleaners)
• Protect the surface by using a dolly to move heavy items instead of dragging them across the floor
• Use mats or padding under such things as a motorcycle kick stand or tire jack
• Place rugs where spills or moisture are common, such as in front of a utility sink, washer and dryer or a workbench

If you want a high-end garage floor that will enhance your home’s functionality or reflect back the glory of your car, boat or Jet Ski, PremierOne Stratus can do the trick. The marbleized floor coating with its high-gloss, mirror finish will make everything in your garage appear highly impressive, or it can be the perfect foundation for any extended living space.

Maximum Utility

Homeowners today strive to get maximum utility from their homes, and that includes the garage. A recent survey disclosed that 27% of people use their garages for hobbies, 23% use the garage to work on cars, 19% do woodworking or carpentry and 13% use a portion of the garage for sports or exercise. Converting garage space into functional living space is not unusual, and a new garage floor is an important part of creating a user-friendly, clean and safe space for:

• Crafts or hobby center
• Home office
• Car maintenance area
• Workout room and weight training

• Man cave with tech toys and big screen TV
• Play area for the kids
• Bonus room or game room
• Laundry room with all the trimmings

Entertainment Center Storage

An “entertainment center” can evolve in any room in the house.

With Tailored Living’s range of styles, finishes and hardware choices, you’ll get the perfect complement to your décor for any room in the house, including the garage, where a Man Cave is an ideal candidate for a custom entertainment center.

Nowadays, most homes have multiple TVs, game systems, computers, DVD players, stereos, radios and other forms of entertainment that take up space and contribute to clutter and messiness. Factor in the stacks of DVDs, PlayStation and Xbox game controls, Wii and accessories, CDs, remotes and iPods, and storage can become a big challenge.

Custom Murphy Bed

A custom Murphy Bed is the ideal space saving solution for a small extra room and is also a great option for accommodating overnight guests. Murphy Beds are also called wall-beds, hideaway or pull-down beds. This style of fold away wall bed is there when you need it and out of sight when you’re not using it. Hidden inside finely-crafted, custom cabinets, they free up floor space for your home office. A Tailored Living Murphy Bed can turn any extra space in your home into an instant guest room, providing comfort and exceptional style. Adding custom wall beds is like adding a room, but at a fraction of the cost!

Most families live in all their space, all the time, so a dedicated guest room is not always practical. If having comfortable guest quarters for visiting family and friends is important to you but you just don’t have the room, find a Tailored Living designer help you find the optimum place for a custom Murphy Bed in your home. Custom wall beds are versatile in design and take up very little space when closed, approximately 16” deep. These wall beds come in many sizes from a smaller single size up to a king size. Murphy Beds are an easy way to accommodate overnight guests by folding them down from the wall and then folding them up to save space in your house. You’d be surprised at all the places you could fold away a bed: a home office, a den, a play room, sewing/craft room, family room, living room or even in a small bedroom to double sleeping space.

Tailored Living’s storage solutions can help you live more comfortably in every room in your home.

• A pantry is like a closet in that it holds more than just the obvious. You think of a closet, you think of clothes, but you also think of all the accessories—shoes, purses, jewelry and such. In a pantry, you have the obvious--food stuffs--but there are also so many other things that a pantry can hold: Small appliances, seasonal serving dishes and decorations, spices, wine and spirits, non-perishable paper products, cleaning supplies, mops and brooms, table linens and pots and pans.
  A well-organized pantry can hold an amazing amount of things, making it easier to get dinner on the table, pack school lunches, make out a grocery list and save money by buying in bulk. Pantry organizer systems with  custom-designed storage solutions to accommodate everything you need to store in your pantry will maximize the space and keep daily-use items close at hand, with seldom-use items out of the way but available when needed.
  

Tailored Living’s designers can help you design custom pantry storage that works for the way you live. Your pantry will have space for what is important to you and your family, whether it’s 50-pound bags of dog food or bins of fruit for homemade jams and jellies.

Garage Enhancement is a Growing Trend!

Hobbies and leisure-time activities are your reward for working hard. Hobbies provide an outlet for

creativity and a relaxing escape from the everyday, work-a-day world. In a busy family, hobbies can take many forms and end up commanding considerable space.

Finding dedicated hobby space in the home can be challenging, especially if the hobbies require both work and storage space. Why not look to the garage as a candidate for “hobby central?” With organization and planning you’ll be able to design the perfect hobby area for one or more pursuits.
