Find smart solutions on how to make the most of this space and make it more pleasant.
Generally, the laundry room is not a priority when it comes to decoration, as it is not a living space but rather a service area. Often, these areas are neglected, improvised, and even messy.
The space allocated for the laundry room is usually not very large, and keeping it organized is a challenge, but know that there are smart solutions to maintain a more efficient cleaning routine without taking up too much of your time.

Organization helps with practicality.
Organization is essential to facilitate the efficient use of any space, especially when it comes to the laundry room. It’s important to consider how you will use the space and what you will put in it, so that you can organize it practically, keeping the most frequently used materials and products always within easy reach, which saves time when performing household chores.
Look for organizing items such as boxes, baskets, and hooks that are standardized, so that they interact with each other and with other furniture and appliances. These organizational resources facilitate the arrangement of cleaning products and materials; choosing the right ones creates a harmonious composition and, literally, combines the useful with the pleasant.

Choose furniture that suits the space.
The space dedicated to the laundry area is usually small, often attached to another room such as the kitchen or bathroom. Choose furniture and appliances intelligently to make the best use of the available space.
The choice of furniture will also depend on your needs; there are options such as overhead cabinets, niches, and shelves that increase storage space without hindering movement in the room. A good countertop can help when folding that pile of clothes, and if you have space, you can even install a clothes rack to hang sweaters, preventing them from getting easily wrinkled.
The washing machine should be chosen to suit the environment and meet the usage demands. Models that wash and dry are perfect for apartments where there is no space for a clothesline and sunlight is not readily available. But if you have a large volume of laundry, you can opt to stack the washer and dryer to optimize space. For drying clothes, there are several types of clotheslines; ceiling-mounted ones are a discreet option that won’t take up circulation space.

Small and compact laundry room
There is a trend towards smaller houses and apartments, so the best solution for the laundry area is to plan and optimize the space. A good choice for creating a laundry area without compromising the overall design is to opt for cabinet-style laundry units; they are very compact and functional and can house all the necessary components for cleaning.

In the case of laundry rooms integrated with other spaces, such as the kitchen, it’s important to maintain harmony in the furniture, with one environment being an extension of the other, complementing each other in the materials, colors, and textures used. This way, there is a feeling of spaciousness.

Safe and durable coatings
A good interior design project prioritizes not only beauty, but also the safety and durability of the materials used. Because it is a more humid environment, the laundry room can be prone to accidents; in this case, it is ideal to opt for a non-slip floor, which is more appropriate and resistant to contact with water.
Use lighter and pastel tones for the laundry room finishes; in addition to better complementing the other decorative items, they give the feeling of a larger space and make cleaning easier.

Decorations make the environment feel lighter.
The laundry room is usually located in a more secluded area of the house, but that doesn’t mean it has to be any less attractive. It’s possible to use some striking elements to bring more life to the space.
Uma ótima opção para decorar a lavandaria são vasos com plantas que sejam apropriadas com o clima húmido e objetos decorativos simples que não interfiram na funcionalidade da lavandaria. Isso fará com que esse ambiente fique mais leve e agradável, uma verdadeira inspiração para encarar os trabalhos domésticos.
Just be careful with information overload; remember that this is a workspace, so it’s more appropriate to convey calmness rather than confusion.

Lighting that highlights reality.
Since the laundry room is a space for cleaning and organizing, uniform lighting is essential so that the true shades of colors are not lost or confused, as this makes it easier to identify any dirt on the clothes.
A valuable tip for lighting any room is to take advantage of natural light during the day. Transparent materials and well-positioned windows facilitate the entry of light. In addition to saving energy, it makes the environment more airy and helps in the clothes drying process.
