HGTV Dream Home 2014 : Laundry Room Pictures

About the Laundry Room : 

This laundry room is as stylish as it is functional, featuring bold stripes, industrial details and lots of hidden storage space. Combined with the tiled mudroom nook just outside, this central area provides easy access to cleaning essentials. 

The stylish laundry room's central location just off the garage and tiled foyer makes it simple to drop off messy items to keep the home sparkling clean.

Just outside the laundry space, a traditional display cabinet gets some industrial edge with bolted door latches. Illuminated shelves with mullioned doors create a striking display space, with additional closed storage on the bottom for linens or other supplies.

A pair of modern upholstered ottomans tucked under a traditional wood desk provides a spot to remove shoes or do one final mirror-check before heading out for the day.

The same slate tile runs from the front porch through the foyer and into the laundry and mudroom spaces, connecting them visually.

 About the Laundry Room

The home's most saturated wall color is reserved for a space tucked in the home's southeast corner. Hardworking tile floors stand up to foot traffic, dirt and spills, and sleek white pine cabinetry keeps cleaning supplies stowed away yet within easy reach. "I think it's nice to have a bright, sunny color when you are doing work," adds interior designer Linda Woodrum.

About the Laundry Room: 
The home's secondary entrance opens into a laundry and storage space, where towels, swimsuits and soiled clothing can be stripped and beach gear stowed before one advances into the home's formal spaces. Both hard working and stylish, the room hints at the home's overall color palette and design aesthetic. "I just wanted it to be happy and pretty," says interior designer Linda Woodrum, cognizant of the view into the laundry room from adjoining spaces. "The laundry room is going to be the primary entrance for whoever lives at HGTV Smart Home and it's important that you see something attractive when you first walk in."

Designed to keep sand and soil outside, a secondary entrance located conveniently adjacent to the driveway and garage opens into a laundry room, where one can clean up after a day at the beach.

Hard working yet stylish, the laundry room makes a designer statement. Vibrant green walls connect to lush side yard views and a Jacksonville Beach, Fla., street light banner doubles as artwork.

Energy efficient appliances are tucked conveniently under counter; the muted titanium finish lends a modern sensibility.

A pocket door opens to reveal an adjoining pantry/closet, which offers space to store beach gear and accessories, plus cleaning supplies and dry goods.

Both stylish and functional, polished quartz countertops offer ample space to fold laundry.

A window bench offers a cozy spot to stop and kick off flip flops and stow them in hand molded rattan baskets before entering the kitchen. A garden stool may double as a laptop computer stand.
