The Benefits of Having a Custom Laundry Room

Anthony Cuomo • November 25, 2014

Laundry: Is it your favorite chore, or just the opposite? No matter which side of the spectrum you fall on, one thing is for certain: If you don’t have a good organization system in your laundry room, the chore of keeping everyone’s clothes sorted, stain-free, clean, dry, unwrinkled and put away can become an overwhelming task. If you are thinking about having a custom laundry room installed in your home, here are some of benefits we learned from All About Closets you will likely enjoy:

Your laundry room will look more attractive.
It’s much more pleasant to spend time in a room that is pretty, as opposed to being strictly utilitarian. If your laundry room now is very plain or very bare-bones, then a customized utility room will bring a breath of fresh air to the area. If you currently avoid the laundry room, you might be surprised at how much more time you’re willing to spend in this area once your renovation is complete!

A custom laundry room can add value to your home.
Just like any other upgrade, it’s important to consider the value that a custom laundry room can add when the time comes to put your house on the market. While the actual value will vary from area to area, organization systems in general tend to be highly coveted. If your home is the only one with an attractive customized utility room, then your house may stand above others, all things being equal. Ask your real estate agent for specifics on whether you can expect to receive a higher selling price if you have custom storage spaces installed.

It will be easier to do laundry.
Probably the most important reason that you are considering having a custom laundry room put in is so that laundry becomes simpler! From having sorting hampers right in the room, to gaining plenty of space to store all of your detergents and other laundry aids, to finding the room to do your folding and ironing in the actual laundry room, you’ll find that your customized space makes things easier. When you’re dealing with a busy family’s laundry, that’s a very good thing!

Your custom laundry room can free up room elsewhere in the home.
When you start with one customized storage area, you’ll soon find that better organization spreads throughout the house. Instead of keeping hampers in the bathrooms, you will gain that extra space. Also, if you tend to fold clothing on your bed or on the couch, having a dedicated space to finish that chore will not only help you to get it done in a more timely manner, but it will also keep clean laundry clutter out of visibility when you have company over on a moment’s notice.
