How to Make a Modern Laundry Room

List the functional areas needed for the modern laundry room. Be realistic about how you do laundry. The common areas include a storage area to hold the dirty laundry, the washing and drying station, and a folding area. You may also need room for hanging clothes and storing laundry baskets. If ironing is still part of your laundry routine, add an area for this task.

Draw a sketch of the room including the dimensions. Include any coves or other permanent features in the room. Mark each of the functional areas you need in your modern laundry room.

List all of the fixtures, appliances and supplies necessary for each area of the laundry room. Include countertops or tables for folding laundry, storage shelves or cabinets, clothes bars, a utility sink, plug-ins, task lighting, and other features specific to your needs.

Choose a color that fits your personality and the modern style of the laundry room. Paint the walls in the room, allowing plenty of time to dry before installing any appliances or other features in the room.

Purchase a washer and dryer that fits the modern style of the laundry room. Install them in the determined location. Add in the shelving, countertops and other functional aspects of the room.

Finish the room with personal touches and wall decor for a customized, modern laundry room.
