Tongue And Groove Accent Wall @scolahouse/Instagram

Tongue-and-Groove Accent Wall

Here’s a laundry closet by @scolahouse that proves you don’t need front-loading machines to create a chic laundry space. The dark tongue-and-groove accent wall presents a beautiful surprise when you open the closet doors. The wood shelf along the back of the machines provides storage and prevents items from dropping down the back.

Drying Rod in Laundry Room @briebuilds/Instagram

Drying Rod

I often drape clothes across the top of my machines to let them dry. That’s not an option with a top-loading washer, which is why I love this laundry room from @briebuilds that includes a hanging rod.

She added a wall cabinet, then connected a gold rod for hanging clothes. Along with the wallpaper, wainscoting and moody green color palette, this laundry room is stunning!

Pegboard above Washing Machines @

Pegboard

A pegboard wall provides options for storage and won’t obstruct the washer lid when open.lid when open.

This pegboard from @cloe.thomson actually doubles as a fake wall to hide the utility space located behind the washer and dryer. A shelf at the bottom of the pegboard holds decor and laundry supplies, while the pegboard itself works for small items like stain spray and scrub brushes.
