Don't underestimate the laundry area

A space that gains prominence

We're increasingly paying attention to those spaces that used to go unnoticed. The laundry room is one of them. It's no longer just about having a washing machine tucked away in a hidden corner, but rather about creating a practical, organized, and aesthetically pleasing space that blends in with the rest of the house and makes our daily lives easier.

Because yes, doing laundry can also be a more comfortable (and even beautiful) experience.

WHERE TO LOCATE IT?

1. Integrated into the kitchen

This is one of the most common solutions. Taking advantage of a kitchen cabinet or a tall column to integrate a washer and dryer can be very functional, especially in homes with limited space. However, it's best to hide it behind doors or panels to maintain the visual harmony of the furnishings.

2. Inside a closet

In hallways, passageways, or even spacious bathrooms, a very practical solution is to integrate the laundry area into a closet. With shelves, baskets, and sliding or folding doors, it remains completely hidden when not in use.

3. Independent laundry room

When space allows, creating a dedicated area for washing, drying, ironing, and storing cleaning products is a marvel. We can play with warm materials, good lighting, vertical storage, and even an extra sink. Another room at the service of the house!

4. In the bathroom

Another common option, especially in urban apartments. If the bathroom is spacious, integrating the washing machine under a countertop or in a vertical column with a cabinet can be a very effective option. The important thing: it should be well ventilated and visually integrated.

DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

  • Sorting baskets to separate by type or color.

  • Shelf or bar for hanging clothes that do not go in the dryer.

  • Space for iron and board , well integrated.

  • Warm lighting that doesn't look like a technical corner.

  • Durable yet aesthetic coverings : wood, ceramic, neutral textiles.

A FUNCTIONAL AREA… AND WITH CHARM

Turning the laundry area into a beautiful space is not only possible, it's advisable . After all, it's an integral part of our home, and as such, it deserves attention in its design. With custom solutions, fine materials, and a little care, we can make this space make our lives easier... and more beautiful.
