Here are great ideas and modern design ideas for decorating and designing a bathroom in comfortable, sophisticated and elegant style. Lifting a top-loading washing machine into place on the top of your cabinets can be a great idea for stylish laundry room design.
For women the maximum height is now around 35-inches from the floor and around 30-inches for males. For both the male and female bathrooms, the height is around one to two feet above the head of the person who will be using the bathroom. A standard top loading machine is usually between fifteen and twenty pounds.
When Choosing a Washing Area
When choosing a wash area, consider your space and how many people will be using it. Your wash area should be large enough to accommodate most of the clothes you will be washing. It should also have enough room to move freely in the laundry area without feeling crowded. Some people prefer the appearance of an open floor plan and others prefer a tight layout with walls and a countertop.
Some of the main features of the wash area are vanity sinks, wall cabinets and mirrors. To help you determine the right type of vanity sink for your wash area, take some time to look at the styles of different types of sinks. There are many styles available and it is up to you to decide what suits your personal style best. One option you may want to consider is an under mount sink or an island sink that you can position directly over the toilet.
Next consider where you will be putting your sink. You may want to have the sink on one side or on the other depending on your personal preferences. If you have small children, a sink on one side may be ideal while larger families may prefer having the sink on the other side. Consider the sink countertop, whether you will be putting a mirror or not, and its location against the wall. If you are considering installing a mirror, there are many good choices out there including wood, marble or even fiberglass mirrors.
Another Great Idea for a Laundry Area
Another great idea for a laundry area is to create a separate storage area for towels and other items that are rarely used. It is easy to keep track of what is needed and which items you do not need by labeling the items and placing them into baskets or drawers. These baskets or drawers can easily be arranged with hooks or loops to hang clothes.
Wall hangings can be used for more than just storage. Using a beautiful piece of art or a piece of pottery that you like, such as a ceramic or porcelain vase or hanging can help to add an elegant touch to your wash area. If you want to add an interesting design element to the wall hangings, consider painting a large picture or painting on a wood vase or ceramic pot.
You may want to include hooks in your storage area for the towels. Wall hangings can add to the look of the laundry area and make it more attractive. For added style consider hanging framed photos of family and friends. Adding a sink or wall mounted vanity sink can also make the laundry area look much neater and more decorative.
Conclusion
Finally, you may want to consider adding lighting to the laundry room. Consider a hanging light over the sink or in the ceiling to provide an additional level of lighting.
The choices that you have available to you when it comes to the design of your laundry room can be rather extensive. By taking a little bit of time to explore the options, you are sure to come up with something that matches your needs and personality.
With just a little thought and research, your laundry room can be designed to give you plenty of space to be able to do what you need to do in your space. In doing so you will be able to get a better use out of the space you have.
