I received a gift card in samples in exchange for this post. All opinions expressed are my own.
One job that seems to be never ending is the laundry. No matter how many loads of laundry I do everyday, it never fails that the next day I basket full of dirty clothes will be waiting for me. But I am pretty sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, the average family does around 400 loads of laundry each year. With products like Tide and Maytag laundry time doesn’t have to take up a huge chunk of your time because laundry can be done right the first time with only one wash.
The Home Depot is one of my favorite places to buy appliances as well as cleaning supplies. It’s really a one-stop shop for finding everything you need for your laundry room. To celebrate the #BrilliantHEClean campaign, Home Depot is offering a $100 gift card with the purchase of a Maytag Powerwash machine & 150 oz. Tide. To help kick start this campaign, Jenny Komenda, decorator and blogger at The Little Green Notebook is sharing her tips on how to create a more efficient space in your laundry room.
Jenny’s tips for overhauling and organizing your laundry room:
Tip #1:
Dealing with a dark, cave-like laundry room is a chore in and of itself! By taking off the doors on a few of your upper cabinets, you’ll open up the space and create a place to store baskets. In this laundry room, we assigned baskets for every member of the house, which makes sorting a breeze!
Tip #2:
Why not decoupage or paint insides of cabinets for a fun pop of color? It’s a guaranteed smile each and every time you reach for your detergent.
Tip #3:
Don’t like the cabinets, floors and countertops in your laundry room? Every surface can be painted or resurfaced! For less than $30 in materials, the outdated linoleum, brick pavers and old, dark cabinets were updated in this laundry room with paint and with a concrete overlay product.
Tip #4
A rolling laundry butler can be your best friend, doing triple duty with a hanging bar, a rolling basket and a drying rack. It’s the perfect choice for a laundry room with limited space that hasn’t been updated in a few decades.
Tip #5:
Don’t neglect your laundry room walls! Hanging interesting art and mirrors will elevate your room and make it feel less utilitarian and more “homey”. Suddenly those 400 loads of laundry most of us will do this year might actually be enjoyable!
Tip #6:
Use a slab of stone or a simple piece of painted MDF on top of the washer/dryer units to create a folding station and to prevent socks from slipping in between the appliances.
