Let’s talk about laundry rooms. Yep — that little room (or weird hallway closet) where socks go to die, detergent spills just enough to be sticky forever, and your dryer somehow takes 50 minutes to dry 3 towels.
For most people, the laundry room is the most neglected space in the house. Not because it doesn’t matter — it definitely does — but because no one ever really plans it. It’s stuck wherever there was leftover plumbing, usually without a door that closes all the way, and lit by the one light bulb that hasn’t been updated since 2003.
At HOMEfix, we think the laundry room deserves better. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it should work with you, not against you.
Here’s why — and how — we turn forgotten laundry spaces into rooms people actually like.
Form Meets Function (Without Falling Apart)
A lot of laundry rooms are just… there. No shelves. No counter space. Nowhere to fold, nowhere to store the backup toilet paper. But a few smart upgrades make a huge difference.
We’re talking:
- Countertops over front-load machines (you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it)
- Built-in cabinets or floating shelves for cleaning supplies, towels, the iron you use twice a year
- Wall-mounted drying racks that fold out when you need them and disappear when you don’t
- Utility sinks for muddy shoes, paintbrushes, and everything your kitchen sink shouldn’t touch
We’ve even done full laundry room makeovers with custom cabinets from our shop — built right here in Colorado Springs.
Lighting, Flooring, and All the Stuff You Don't Think About
Just because a laundry room isn't being toured by house guests doesn’t mean it has to be ugly.
We like using:
- Durable flooring that can handle water, soap, and the occasional rogue sock — think LVP, tile, or sealed concrete
- Good lighting (not flickery fluorescent tubes)
- Wall color that isn’t “contractor beige” — we love soft greens, pale blues, or even fun wallpaper if that’s your thing
These spaces are small, so you can get creative without breaking the bank.
Don't Have a "Room"? We Can Still Make It Work
Maybe your laundry setup lives in a hallway, closet, or garage. You’re not alone — and it’s not a dealbreaker. We’ve helped clients:
- Build sliding barn doors to hide stacked units
- Add countertop folding space in garages
- Install smart storage where there wasn’t any before
- Raise machines for easier loading (game-changer for older homeowners)
We can even stack your machines, tuck in a little sink, and still leave room for a storage cabinet. It’s like laundry room Tetris, and we’re very good at it.
Why This Matters (Especially If You’re Remodeling Anyway)
When people think about renovations, they start with kitchens and bathrooms. And hey — that makes sense. Those are the showpieces. But when you skip over the laundry room, you're missing out on an opportunity to make everyday life a little easier.
Because let’s be real — nobody brags about their laundry room (well, you might be after we're done with it).
But when it works well?
You notice. You feel it. Your mornings feel smoother. Your house feels a little more finished. And that’s the stuff we care about.
