The laundry room. It’s one of the most-used spaces in a home, yet it’s often one of the most overlooked when it comes to design. If you’ve ever tried to juggle a load of towels, iron a shirt, and find a spot to air-dry a sweater all at the same time, you know exactly how frustrating a poorly planned laundry room can be.
At Elk Ridge Custom Homes, we approach laundry rooms the same way we approach kitchens or primary suites, with your life in mind. Function comes first, and then we wrap it in a beautiful, timeless design.
How big is your family?
How often do you iron clothes?
What’s one thing you wish your current laundry room did better?
The answers shape every decision. For one recent client, the fact that they have five kids was the biggest factor.
Five kids means a never-ending flow of clothes, sports uniforms, and linens.
For them, the perfect laundry room needed:
Plenty of air-dry hook space for delicate items and sports gear
A deep soaking sink for tackling stubborn stains
A hidden storage spot for the iron and ironing board so everything is close at hand but out of sight
Once the functional needs were clear, we layered in the aesthetic. This home’s overall color palette was light and fresh, so we carried that through to create a laundry room that feels bright and airy. The space doesn’t just work, it’s a room the family actually enjoys being in, which matters when you’re spending this much time there.
This laundry room will serve their family well for years to come. And that’s the point. When a space is designed for the way you live, it becomes an asset, not an afterthought.
No matter what you want your laundry room to look like or how you need it to function, the best part is that with Elk Ridge Custom Homes, every design is fully custom. Your lifestyle drives the plan. Your preferences shape the style.
We’d love to hear what your dream laundry room would be like, and then build it for you.
