Hot Trend: The Modern Laundry Room
Laundry rooms are no longer relegated to the basement or closet—in fact, they are starting to land at the top of the remodeling project list.
Perhaps it all started when Kenmore unveiled the washing machine and clothes dryer in bold colors such as Sedona (tangerine) and Pacific Blue. Or maybe it’s due to magazines such as Real Simple which have raised organizing and housekeeping to an artform that no longer seems dated. Whatever it is, the laundry room is gaining size and becoming an important member of the house.
Watch for laundry rooms taking a cue from kitchens as designers incorporate elements such as additional cabinets, counters, and even islands to make everyday household chores easier.
