Laundry rooms may not be the most glamorous part of the home, but when designed with intention, they can become one of the most efficient and enjoyable spaces in your house. Whether you’re working with a small corner or a full-sized room, the key to a successful laundry room remodel is blending style with functionality—and that’s where we come in.
At Dragon Scale, we help homeowners create customized laundry spaces that make everyday tasks easier while adding value and style to the home. If you’re planning a remodel, here’s how to design a laundry room that works hard and looks great.

Start with a Smart Layout
Before picking paint colors or tile patterns, think about how you use the space. Do you need more storage? Are you often ironing clothes? Do you want space to sort or fold laundry?
A well-planned layout should accommodate:
- Washer and dryer placement (side-by-side or stacked)
- Easy access to utility hookups
- Ample floor space for movement
- Zones for sorting, folding, and hanging clothes
In smaller spaces, stackable units or wall-mounted drying racks can help you make the most of every inch. In larger rooms, consider adding a central island or countertop for folding laundry and organizing essentials.
Maximize Storage
Clutter can make even the nicest laundry room feel chaotic. Cabinets, shelving, and built-ins keep everything organized—from detergent and dryer sheets to pet supplies or cleaning tools.
A mix of open shelves and closed cabinets works well for both accessibility and aesthetics. Want to take it a step further? Add labeled baskets or bins to create a clean, uniform look.
Tall storage units or broom closets are perfect for storing mops, vacuums, and other items that don’t have a home elsewhere.
Choose Durable, Water-Resistant Materials
Since laundry rooms are prone to moisture and heavy use, it’s important to select materials that are both durable and easy to clean.
Popular options include:
- Luxury vinyl plank or tile flooring – Stylish, waterproof, and comfortable underfoot
- Quartz or laminate countertops – Low-maintenance and resistant to staining
- Backsplash tile – Adds personality while protecting walls from splashes
You’ll want surfaces that stand up to heat, spills, and everyday wear without compromising on style.
Add Style with Color and Design Details
Just because it’s a laundry room doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Use color, texture, and decorative elements to make the space feel welcoming and cohesive with the rest of your home.
Try:
- Soft neutrals for a clean, calming look
- Bold accent walls or wallpaper for personality
- Matte black or brushed gold hardware for modern flair
- Statement lighting to elevate the entire space
These small design choices can make the laundry room feel like a polished, intentional part of your home—not just a utility space.
Make Room for Comfort and Convenience
Want to go the extra mile? Consider adding features that make the space more enjoyable and user-friendly:
- A built-in ironing station or fold-out board
- A deep utility sink for handwashing or soaking
- Hanging rods or a drying rack for delicates
- Seating or a bench if your laundry room doubles as a mudroom
These thoughtful touches make laundry day easier—and even a little more pleasant.
