lAUNDRY ROOM LOCATION

When considering the placement of the laundry room in your new home, carefully consider your laundry habits. Improper placement of the laundry will not only continually conflict with your style but prolong one of our all least favorite chores. Careful planning during the design phase can best accommodate your lifestyle. Many homeowners approached a dreaded chore by dedicating a block of time for that chore: do all the laundry at once. If this style describes you, than put your laundry room next to the bedroom or baths where accessibility to the hampers and stockpiles of dirty clothes is/are close. The design of the laundry itself should reflect your need to get the job done now! Cabinets for detergent and softener, a slop sink for soaking, an ironing board for pressing clothes, 1,2 even 3 countertop folding areas can be included in the efficient laundry facility. This will facilitate the gathering, washing, sorting and distribution of clean clothes. Youšll be free to take on other chores more quickly. However, if you prefer to do laundry as a secondary effort by fitting it in between other activities, than place your laundry next to the other active areas of your home, namely the kitchen or utility room. The need for fancy cabinets, slop sinks and folding areas will be minimized. This location will provide easy access to swap the clothes from the washer to dryer while doing other cleaning, vacuuming or perhaps even during late night television. So when designing your interior layout, honestly assess your tendencies, then and place the laundry where it will best suit your style. Contact me for additional information on this topic.
