Laundry rooms are extremely important and should be have their position as such during the design and planning of your home.

Things to Consider When Remodeling Your Laundry Room
Working spaces in your house, such as the laundry room, should be well planned since you or someone else will spend time there performing different daily tasks. The first step towards a good and efficient laundry room design is to consider who will regularly do the laundry and what you or they require to achieve it comfortably.
It is important to add in your design:
Enough Storage Space
This could be a consistent element to keep in mind in almost all the rooms of your house. There can never be enough storage space. A clever and good combination of different storage elements like cabinets and shelves can make the difference. Enough storage will keep your laundry room neat and comfortable.
Lighting
Many laundry rooms are small, but it doesn’t mean they have to be dark. In fact, this should should be bright and full of natural light. If you can’t include windows in your laundry design, consider cabinet lighting or any other source that can provide the light you require.
Ventilation
Windows play more than just a lighting role. Windows are also important in order to add natural ventilation to your laundry room. This is essential since there will be a lot of moisture in it. If you can’t have windows, consider other ventilation option in your design.
Location Flexibility
Old houses use to have the laundry room at the basement, or the first floor. Times have changed, as people and their needs have changed. It is important to be flexible and play with your requirements. Work along with your laundry room designer or remodel team and find the perfect place to set your laundry room.
Style
Even though it is often overlooked, having a nice, functional, fun and stylish laundry room will not only provide a nice environment that is inviting to spend time in it, but it will also increase your house value. Home buyers often pay attention to these areas.
