Laundry Rooms that sell homes

/ katyjobe
The often neglected, pushed to the basement unfinished area- the Laundry Room- a space I just love to see dressed up. The Laundry room should be just as pretty as the Kitchen. To achieve this I recommend using stone countertops, pretty cabinets with interesting handles, a large integrated sink with a cool faucet, interesting tile, a wine fridge if space permits (I mean who doesn’t like to drink wine and do laundry!), and of course a stylish laundry pair. Seen above are Laundry rooms from homes I’ve sold in Hamilton that incorporated these features. Making the act of doing Laundry a stylish affair!

Here are some examples of Laundry rooms I love! Incorporating beautiful storage, decor, wood elements, and elements of nature really make these Laundry rooms shine!

How to stage your Laundry Room to sell your house

In a study done in 2019 by the National Association of Home Buyers found that 91% of new home buyers put Laundry Rooms at the top of their priority list. Of those 4000 people asked:

  • 37 percent prefer a laundry room near the bedrooms.
  • 20 percent like a laundry room close to the kitchen.
  • 17 percent would rather wash and dry in the basement.
  • 12 percent would keep the laundry machines in the garage completely out of sight.

Here are some tips on how to stage your Laundry Room

  • Clean it out – Clean out as much as you can and store in another area.
  • Clean it up – Clean and wipe down the entire space, make it sparkle.
  • Keep it light and bright – Consider fresh paint on walls and unfinished concrete floors, a new light fixture, cleaning any windows.
  • Add some storage – Have a place to store detergent, baskets, and laundry. Also some shelving for decor, plants, and decorative baskets.
  • Add some style – Adding art, decor, an interest wall, cool tiles and updated countertops go a long way to giving the space some interest and making it a place people want to spend time.
