The Benefits of Adding a Convenient Laundry Room

No matter if you love to do laundry or it’s your least favorite chore, an organized laundry room is a benefit anyone can appreciate. If you’re sick of trudging up and down the stairs to do load after load of laundry, you might consider the benefits of adding a laundry room to your home. 

A laundry room might not be at the top of the list when it comes to home additions or remodeling upgrades—but it should be! Here are just some of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you invest in a convenient laundry room. 

1. Adds value to your home

Whether you’re planning to move in the future or stay put for the long-term, a custom laundry room can add significant value to your home. While your return on investment depends on several factors, any remodeling you do to your property is a major selling feature when the time comes to put your house on the market. It’s a feature homebuyers covet, and it can help your home stand out.

2. Improves everyday convenience

A custom, organized laundry room makes your daily life much easier by streamlining the chore. Add features like sorting hampers in the space, and include shelving and organization features that provide a place to store detergents and other washing aids. You can also include a dedicated space for folding and ironing in the laundry room, rather than taking clothes to a table or bed in another room. If you have a large family and do a lot of laundry, you’ll love how much time you’ll save when you can complete this chore in an organized space!

3. Reclaim your basement’s space

More homeowners are choosing to invest in a dedicated laundry room on an upper level. Not only does it make the chore of doing laundry much easier, since you don’t have to lug piles of clothes to the basement, it also frees up valuable space in your basement. Rather than using your basement as a catch-all for clothes and other items, moving your laundry space upstairs into an unused room or nook allows you to use your basement for recreation and relaxation, rather than a space to do chores.

4. Improves aesthetics

If your current laundry area is plain or bare-bones, a customized space can make washing and drying your clothes a much more pleasant chore to do. A well-planned laundry room is a more attractive spot to spend time in. You’ll be surprised how much more time you’ll want to spend in this space once you’ve made all the renovations you want and need.

5. Dedicated space for appliances

A custom laundry room provides a dedicated space for your washer and dryer—two bulky appliances that take up a lot of room. Consult with your trusted plumber to determine where your hookups should be, then start designing the room around the placement of your appliances.
