I consider that tedious duties could be made extra pleasurable in the event that they happen in a phenomenal atmosphere, and I tackled the design of our new laundry room with this in thoughts. The laundry space at #JungalowByTheMountain was comparatively spacious and completely practical however totally missing in character and vibes — making the chore of doing laundry really feel like simply that — a chore. I wished to inject a heavy dose of shade and sample into the house in order that the laundry room would possibly really feel like a spot I would acutally need to be in, like, say, a like a boutique lodge for soiled garments. Hehe.
A laundry room is a good place to go daring and have enjoyable with shade and sample. Like a powder room, it’s a contained space that doesn’t really want to “go along with” surrounding areas, so there’s a excellent opportuntiy to have enjoyable and get slightly wild. I selected to put in this peel and stick wallpaper as a result of I wished one thing patternful and with a darkish floor to match again to the washer and dryer. (To assist us calculate the quantity of wallpaper we would have liked we used the very helpful Wallpaper Calculator from The Home Depot app). The general vibe I wished to to lend to the house was certainly one of magic and thriller.
On the ground, we then put in a cement hex tile in Sage from Zia Tile. We used a really slim grout line and “River Rock” grout shade as a result of I wished the grout traces to be much less outstanding. We styled it with a Gemology rug from my assortment with Loloi Rugs.
I selected Cajun Crimson and Terracotta Clay by Behr for the paint colours, as a result of I wished to convey heat to the house. We used two colours to offer the house a bit extra dynamism. As a crowning glory, we swapped out the previous cupboard {hardware} for one thing extra fashionable in black and gold to match again to the wallpaper.
Because the wallpaper we used was peel and stick, I made a decision to additionally cowl the hideous handrail (that we saved for security causes) and it now type of disappears into the wallpaper sample. Yay.
Now I can get misplaced within the wallpaper sample and the nice and cozy tones of the wall and ceiling and dream of doing laundry in Florence, Istanbul or Antigua (simply I few locations I wouldn’t thoughts doing laundry in!)
