A new spin
Your laundry room used to be the place to keep the washer, dryer, and drop-down ironing board – period. But imagine if it could be more of a creative nerve center – a flexible space for projects and crafts.
The roughly 130-square-foot laundry room in our Southwest Idea House at Verrado, near Phoenix, demonstrates the point. Open shelves and deep drawers offer ample storage for crayons, paints, and scrapbooking and sewing supplies. Barstools provide a comfortable seat at the granite counter.
The deep farmhouse sink is ideal for soaking clothes or arranging cut flowers as well as for cleaning up after craft jobs. The durable counter can also be used for small gardening projects. Cabinets above the washing machine and dryer help keep laundry and cleaning supplies out of view and serve as additional storage for towels and linens.
