LAUNDRY ROOM Moodboard

This is a project for the future, but our playroom is a 2-bedroom guest room that I eventually plan to convert into a laundry room. The location and layout of the space is perfect for a laundry room, especially since it’s next to a door we often use to enter and exit the house. I plan to convert the room into a laundry room / mudroom so we can store the dirty shoes closer to the door we use daily. We currently have a very tiny room in our garage that houses our washer / dryer and when we made that decision I really didn’t think ahead to carrying loads and loads of laundry from all over the house into the [dirty] garage. It’s honestly just not practical, and with 2 kids and a germaphobe husband, I have lots of laundry to do.
I’m not in a rush to start this project since we still use the playroom often, but that hasn’t stopped me from gathering inspiration for what I hope it looks like in the future. I’m loving the idea of darker wood or paint, stone floors, and tons of functional storage. I’m loving all the hidden ways you can now hang dry clothing and store your detergents, too.
Lastly, I currently have a front-loading washing machine and absolutely hate how gross they get so fast. I do wash our machine regularly and keep the door cracked open when wet, but the rubber parts always get moldy. (Btw I have all my cleaning info on this highlight). I’ve done tons of research and it seems like top loaders don’t have this issue but the trade-off is no countertop over your machines and no stacking. Also, I’ve heard the top loaders don’t clean as efficiently. I’m very conflicted on this, so if anyone has advice please send it my way.
As of right now (based on insight sent to me on IG), it seems like the top contender for a washing machine is the Speed Queen. Out of the 100 messages I received, 98% told me to get the Speed Queen, and the other 2% asked me to please share the feedback lol. So looks like I’m not the only one dealing with this issue.
Keep you posted on Stories once this process begins (probably next year)!
