Laundry Room

The laundry room is often the most neglected part of the house when it comes to decorating. There's barely anything exciting about cleaning dirty laundry and less so when your laundry space is restricted to a cupboard somewhere in the bathroom or kitchen close to the water outlets. I supposed we could still be tidy and chic:

Some of you are fortunate enough to have a dedicated laundry room with ample tabletop space and plenty of storage for baskets, various types of detergents and the ironing board. Like the kitchen, bigger is better and having an island in the middle is a dream.

Laundry room with island

Pleated fabric to cover untidy shelves

Colourful pictures and a fun theme makes laundry hardly a chore

Wallpapered elegance

Little jars to store little things lost

Perhaps an air-conditioner would be ideal for Malaysian laundry rooms?
