To rev up their laundry space, these homeowners added colorful appliances, cabinets, shelves and countertops, all in a design inspired by his vintage Mustang. The formerly plain space now has loads of personality as well as functionality.
Space With Personality
Hard Workers
The crimson washer and dryer provide more than a glossy vintage vibe. The washer features 10 cycles, automatic temperature control and a water-level sensor, while the dryer offers eight cycles, a drying sensor that measures moisture levels to reduce drying time and garment damage and a suspension system that minimizes noise and vibration. A work surface that fits on top of the washer and dryer provides a spot to store supplies and fold clothes.
Smart Storage
A cheerful red and aqua color scheme for the shelving and cabinetry adds a welcome dose of color. To make wise use of the space, the homeowners hung cabinets close to the top of the wall for storing bulk goods. Keeping a stepladder on hand makes it easy to retrieve items as needed. A contemporary 5-light track fixture provides general lighting, and under-cabinet lights cast additional light for tasks such as removing stains and sewing on buttons.
Cool Bins
Oblong galvanized tubs, primed and spray-painted white, serve as small laundry containers, while buckets painted red, white and aqua hang on hooks to organize laundry necessities.
For the Floor
Dark gray foam tiles transform the concrete floor and provide a comfortable workspace. The interlocking mats are low-maintenance and easy to assemble. A small rug at the base of the washer and dryer adds a decorative touch.
