Laundry Room Remodeling, Pt. 2: 3 Unexpectedly Awesome Features

Last time, we discussed why remodeling your laundry room is a great project for any home. Not only will it improve your functionality and efficiency, it’ll give you the chance to actually enjoy the room you spend over 60 hours in each year. Today, we want to take it one step further: installing features that will make your laundry room into a downy, clean paradise.

The Orlando drywall contractors at New Ceilings have seen firsthand that once you give your laundry room a little extra TLC, it’s easy to fall in love with the space. Since not many people beyond you and your family members will be actively using the area, it’s ok to forego the marble countertops and Venetian tile; instead, consider implementing these 3 unexpectedly awesome features in your mud room:

• A Murphy ironing board. It seems like ironing clothes is a lost art nowadays, but we understand that there are certain situations where you need your clothes to look as sharp as you are. To keep it up and out of the way until you need it, try installing a fold-down (Murphy) ironing board on your wall, preferably somewhere near the dryer. You’ll get those wrinkles out before they even get the chance to form.

• A TV or radio. If you’re the type who likes to fold the clothes right away rather than dumping them on the couch and letting the kids help, you’ve undoubtedly found that it can get a little boring in there. Why not install a mounted TV or radio to keep you entertained while you knock out the chores? Your task will be done before you know it. Again, you don’t need anything big or expensive – a small TV with a wall mount should only run you a couple hundred bucks and make for a quick weekend project.

• A pet-washing station. As much as we love our furry friends, grooming them can be a pain – all that extra hair tends to clog up the bathtub drain, and washing them outside means we’ll get just as dirty in the long run. Instead, set up a deep basin that will comfortably fit Fido and include a few shelves to hold his shampoos, towels, and brushes. Setup and cleanup will be easier than ever before.

Here at New Ceilings, our Orlando drywall contractors are big fans of boosting efficiency; when you’re performing an upgrade on a completely utilitarian room like your laundry room, it’s ok to splurge! Before you get started on any home renovation projects, it’s a good idea to make sure your drywall is in good shape with the help of the professionals.
