Is it just us, or does laundry just seem to pile up in the summer? From towels and bathing suits to multiple daily outfit changes, the piles are somehow never-ending. And who wants to be stuck indoors when the beach is calling? Luckily, at MDI, we stand for creating thoughtful spaces that fit your lifestyle, walking the line between pretty and functional. 

Transforming a space reserved solely for a chore into a dreamy laundry room isn’t always easy- it’s one of the most hardworking spaces in the home, and often one of the most overlooked. From awkward layouts to limited square footage, balancing beauty and efficiency can be a real challenge. But when it’s done right? Game changer.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite laundry room designs that prove utility and style can coexist. No more letting baskets of clean clothes linger in the bedroom- you’ll want to kick off your shoes, put on your favorite playlist, and actually fold in these laundry rooms!

The laundry rooms in this Colorful Kiawah home prove that functional can still be fun. In the downstairs laundry room, a light blue ceiling and bold floral wallpaper breathe life into the space, while a utility sink and white lower cabinets keep everything clean and classic.

The second upstairs laundry room goes bold with built-in teal cabinetry and matching window trim. A stacked washer/dryer setup and crisp white walls keep the look streamlined while the bold color keeps it interesting.  

This Lowcountry Lodge laundry room takes a moodier, more refined approach. Deep gray cabinetry, a built-in dog space, deep basin sink, and sleek countertop work together to maximize every inch of this narrow, hardworking laundry room.

The laundry room in this Coastal Chic home blends practical storage with clean, classic style. Cube shelving paired with baskets, classic white cabinetry, and a patterned tile floor add personality without sacrificing functionality.

The pass-through laundry room in this Dreamy Daniel Island home proves that small spaces don’t have to be boring; if anything, they offer an opportunity to go bolder. Patterned wallpaper, bronze sconce chandeliers, and sleek cabinetry make every square inch feel thoughtfully designed. Bonus points for the counter space over the washer and dryer designed specifically for folding laundry.

The laundry room in this Relaxed River View home feels like it walked right in off the beach. Drenched in calming light blue from ceiling to cabinetry, it’s both serene and thoughtfully designed- with baskets, a utility sink, and plenty of windows to let in natural light.

Whether you’re working with a full laundry room or a small pass through space, thoughtful design can turn laundry day into something you actually enjoy. Ready for more inspiration? Be sure to check out our portfolio for more ideas of how to bring beauty and function to every space!
