Laundry Room Re-Do

July 29, 2011 By Living Solutions Interior Design

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been up to the bay area twice, (once for a design job and once for a family trip) and while I was up there, my parents were working on redoing their laundry room. They have a very large, sun-filled space for laundry…Almost nice enough to enjoy the never-ending chore of laundry :) (at least that’s how it is in our house!). I’m not a huge fan of doing laundry, but if I had a room like this, I may be a bit more inspired! 

They had very nice cabinetry in there, but they felt as though it wasn’t designed well to utilize all the storage space. There was a lot of deep cabinets, and they were never getting to all the stuff way in the back.

 A few years ago, we had our kitchen done through Ikea (those pictures for a later post!) and my parents, I think were impressed by the well designed, well built cabinetry at a very reasonable cost. When they were in the market to re-do their laundry room, they decided to go with the Akurum Rubrik White contemporary cabinet door and the Grip handle in aluminum.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of their “Before“, but I snapped a few of the “During“….

And “After“!
I love the way the cabinets reflect the light and the leaves from outside.

They added lots of drawers….Pull out drawers inside of cabinets as well as standard drawers below. 
 
And they were able to score a great granite remnant for pretty inexpensively. 

I love the large vein running through the granite. Some people like a very uniform pattern in their granite, but I love the uniqueness and naturalness that granite provides.
I have another laundry room project that will need my attention, but that may not be for a little while. So in the meantime, I’ll dream of this laundry room while I am doing the 4th load of the day and hopefully it’ll make it a little bit easier!
Have any of you tackled a laundry room make over, big or small? Or have any Ikea cabinetry in your home? If you’re looking to do a kitchen or another storage area on the inexpensive, I would highly suggest stopping by your local Ikea and checking out their selection! 
Happy laundering!
