I’ve an almost-free day right this moment, and I’ll lastly be capable of get extra work achieved on the studio cupboards (for the primary time since Monday), so I hope to have some progress to share with you tomorrow. However within the meantime, I’ve grow to be a bit obsessed (once more) with our ground plan for the addition, and final night time, I turned my consideration to the laundry room.
Proper now, our “laundry room” is a nook of the sunroom. For many who don’t know, our so-called “sunroom” is the worst room in the home, and it’ll ultimately be torn all the way down to make room for the addition. It’s only a unhappy (however large) room that I maintain hidden away behind our music room and these fairly doorways…
I don’t like opening these doorways or going into that room. It’s not nicely constructed in any respect, so the home windows are low-cost and drafty. The room doesn’t have any HVAC vents, so the room will get extremely sizzling in the summertime, and chilly within the winter. Plus, the room doesn’t have any lights. So I don’t like stepping into there, however that’s the one house I’ve proper now for the washer and dryer.
When folks see the remainder of our home, the very last thing they’d anticipate when opening these doorways behind the music room is to see this…
So evidently, I’m actually wanting ahead to the day that this room will get torn down. And I dream in regards to the day that I can have a stupendous, organized laundry room with precise lighting, a window that truly retains the skin air exterior, and an HVAC vent to manage the temperature always of the yr.
After spending the final a number of days reviewing our ground plan for the addition and tweaking that plan based mostly on a number of of your options, I shared the choices with my mother, brother, and sister-in-law yesterday at lunch. I feel this was the group favourite so far as the master suite closet(s) and the closet for Matt’s tools…
However my mother jogged my memory that I ought to make the laundry room as massive as attainable as a result of proper now, I battle to seek out room to retailer issues like my carpet cleaner, vacuum cleaner, and so on. All of my cleansing provides are at the moment saved in a cupboard within the walk-in pantry, which appears (to me) like an odd place for cleansing provides. I’d somewhat have these in a laundry/utility room. I additionally want a spot for my cat’s litter field and further cat litter, different pet provides.
So with all of that in thoughts, I tweaked the plan but once more to bump out the laundry room…
Heck, ultimately, I’ll most likely simply find yourself bumping the entire addition out these 7.5 ft. However for now, I’m simply concentrating on the laundry room, and dreaming of what’s going to be. So with the laundry room bumped out, I’m left with one other house that can be lengthy and slender. I’m guessing it is going to be 7’4″ x about 15′.
So I went in the hunt for learn how to organize an extended, slender laundry room, and let me inform you. I got here throughout some wonderful inspiration, and I’ve such a imaginative and prescient for this room now! Whereas my preliminary thought (which really got here from a few of your options) was to place the sink underneath the window, what I really discovered myself probably the most drawn to are the lengthy, slender laundry rooms the place actually all the pieces is lined up on only one wall.
This one is my absolute favourite that I’ve come throughout up to now on Houzz. I maintain going again to this one and staring, dreaming, and planning how I can have my very own that’s organized like this, however with all the pieces I want in that room.
In fact, mine may have far more shade and sample. And also you higher wager that I’m going to let myself flip that house into a bit of jewel field. So far as shade and sample, I can think about one thing extra alongside these strains…

Though I’m probably not a “wallpaper on the ceiling” form of individual. However you higher imagine there can be some enjoyable, colourful wallpaper on the partitions!
One of many issues I really like about this association is that I received’t need to cope with cupboards that wrap round a nook. I at all times discover it so irritating to determine what to do with these blind corners. This configuration eliminates that frustration. Plus, I can have a much bigger window this manner. An above-the-sink window would essentially need to be smaller. With that wall free, I can have a a lot greater window, which suggests extra daylight!

I’ve imaginative and prescient for it, and I do know the size, so I can begin planning how I would like the cupboards and storage organized. And since I’ve a shade as a leaping off level (my new washer and dryer are darkish blue), I may even begin getting some concepts for wallpaper!
