A space that we often forget about is our beloved, yet often neglected launry room. Yet, this is where we wash our cloths, iron & set ourselves 'right' for the world to see.
Here are a few easy & effective tips to help you get this area in order:
De-Clutter & throughly Clean The Area
Paint or Wallpaper the room (or area) - Any color will work, but light, bright crisp colors are the most effective & uplifting.
Storage Space- Make sure you have enough (most client's do not). Any added storage needs to be durable and functional.
Folding Table- For your laundry, make sure you have a large, sturdy folding table. Please do not use your your bed or kitchen table.
Large Sink/Tub- A tub can come in handy for soaking clothes, cleaning large objects or other household chores.
Water-Resistant Floor Coverings- Paint concrete floors with a heavy-duty paint or cover the floor with glue-down vinyl if the slab is smooth, stays dry and is crack-free.
Respect your launry area, spruce it up and you will find this necessary chore will become a pleasure, not a burden. Plus, a neat looking laundry room always registers as a positive for any prospective buyer.
