To help consumers create their dream laundry room, Electrolux has partnered with design expert Camille Styles, founder of the lifestyle blog www.CamilleStyles.com, to provide easy tips that will turn any laundry room into the setting for an at-home functional – yet attractive – escape.
“For many of us, laundry is an activity we tackle weekly,” said Styles. “So why not dress up your laundry room so that it is a serene place to spend time in? Begin your design overhaul with beautiful, stylish appliances – like the sleek, high-performance Front Load washer and dryer set from Electrolux. These eye-catching machines marry a sleek form with high-performance function and act as the centerpiece of the space.”
Styles’ other suggestions for a complete laundry room transformation include:
A place for everything & everything in its place. Designate specific areas of the space for different tasks like folding laundry, ironing and polishing shoes. Keep all the necessary supplies for each task nearby so everything is easily accessible when needed.
Beauty & the basics. Transform laundry room supplies into decorative objects by storing them in refillable clear containers. Use labels to identify what is in each.
Open Space, open mind. Space that is uncluttered is always more inviting, leading to enhanced productivity and a sense of calm. Make use of cabinets, woven baskets and lidded containers to keep items like serving pieces, craft supplies, gift wrap and vases well out of sight.
Keep It cool. If space permits, installing a refrigerator in the laundry room is incredibly useful. A well-stocked second refrigerator will allow you to turn your laundry room into a party prep and staging area. During the holidays, it’s a great place to store larger items and to keep festive beverages and desserts at the perfect temperature, ready to serve at any moment.
