My Laundry Room – Before and After

Laundry Room

Creating a laundry room that makes you want to do laundry is everything! Here are my before and after pictures of my laundry room renovation!

One of the most used rooms in our home has rarely been seen on my blog.

It’s the laundry room. Not a fun place but the update makes it all that better.

And the room is big which is awesome.

The original floor plan says this room was the office and the washer and dryer was a stackable in a hallway closet.

I’m so glad the previous owners made the ‘office’ into a laundry room.

And I’m sooooo glad it’s been renovated.

Laundry room makeover with before and after photos graphic.

Here is the before. Yuck. Dated cabinets and dreary walls!

The cabinets were kept and just given a fresh coat of soft white paint and handles updated.

I had my cabinet guy take out one lower cabinet and move the washer and dryer to the cabinet side.

Laundry room before with wooden cabinets and white washer and dryer.

Then I had the pedestals removed from the washer and dryer and the cabinet and sink heightened.

Finally a black granite countertop was installed and I added this cool light fixture.

The same laundry room with white cabinets, subway tile, and a black countertop.

The cabinets were a good idea but I don’t get why the Washer and dryer were on this wall.

The washer and dryer in the corner of the room.

Hooks and shelf on the wall with a towel hanging on it and hampers are underneath it.

When I had the white subway tile installed in our kitchen recently, I had them installed in this laundry room too. Gorgeous.

On the black countertop there is a small green try with laundry items in it.

The upper shelves are painted white.

There is a wicker basket and a box of laundry soap on top of the upper cabinets.

A galvanized bucket is in front of the washer and dryer.

The opposite side of the room shows where to hang your coats.

Or sweat pants and electrical cords.

A small bench underneath hooks hanging on the wall.

So much better!

There’s so much storage for hats, mitts, umbrellas, shoes and coats now.

Coat racks in laundry room.

You might spy my distressed key holder (made from a wine crate) on that wall.

Laundry room built-in cubbies with a jacket hanging on the hooks and boots underneath it.

I love all the updates! It’s a joy to do laundry in here.

There is a small stepladder in the laundry room.

Or take a nice break on the patio.

French doors leading onto a patio.

    Beautiful room! And so much more functional now! It is weird how the previous owners placed the washer dryer, it made no sense. I’m super jealous of your patio! We’re buried under snow in Ontario!

    I love that you moved the washer and dyer and kept the original cabinets. It’s amazing how much paint can change a space! The granite and classic subway tile are beautiful as well. Great makeover!

    Gosh, this room makes me so jealous! It’s gorgeous. I have always dreamed of one day making over my laundry room, but it’s definitely not a top priority. Maybe someday…for now I’m trying to get the rest of my house in order…painting like a maniac & making over our rooms project by project.

    Wow that’s awesome! My laundry room is so tiny. And it’s in the most awkward place ( the way to get into the garage). It has a small closet and then the doorway to the garage and a doorway to close it off. So if your doing laundry you either have piles on the floor and can’t get to your garage or you have it smack in the middle of the floor and anyone coming to your house sees your sorted laundry! You literally open the doors to the dryer by accident trying to bring your groceries in! I would love a space like this, so roomy! Nice job!

    I don’t have a laundry room. Instead, I have a laundry area in our small garage. The “before” pics are on my blog right now. It was a nightmare. I am in the process of making over the area. I have pretty new front loaders, I’ve painted, and a bit more. Still, I “envy” (in a nice way) your beautiful space. It is amazing!!! Love!

I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples.
