Incorporate a laundry folding table, either above a front-loading washer and dryer, or in the center of the room.
Invest in the best washer and dryer you can afford. These are appliances you will have for a long time, so consider spending a bit more. Some large families buy two of each to handle the daily deluge.
Incorporate custom cabinet features such as a fold-down ironing board, pet food storage, tilt-out hamper, fold-out drying rack and a rod to hang freshly ironed clothes.
Install an entertainment center if you spend a lot of time in your laundry area.
A sink is useful for soaking stained items, washing delicates or bathing pets.
Cabinets that reach to the ceiling maximize space and are great for hiding detergent and hangers.
Make your laundry room blend with the design of the rest of the home when selecting wallpaper, color, crown molding, flooring and window treatments.
