This is the first phase of a much larger transformation, and we’re starting with two of the most functional spaces in the house: the mudroom + laundry room. While they might not be the most glamorous rooms, they are truly the workhorses of the home—spaces that get used every single day. And because of that, we wanted to make sure they weren’t just practical but also stunning in their own right.
The Vision for the Home
Our clients came to us wanting a home that felt bold, elevated, and playful—but still warm and inviting. Think moody hues, layered textures, and a mix of traditional and modern elements. Every detail is being thoughtfully curated to create a space that feels fresh yet timeless, with an effortless blend of organic materials and high-contrast design choices.
We’re approaching this project room by room, ensuring each space flows beautifully into the next while still having its own moment. First up? The mudroom and laundry room—because if you’ve got to do laundry, you might as well do it in a space you love.
The Mudroom & Laundry Room: Function Meets Beauty
These two spaces are often overlooked, but when designed intentionally, they can completely change the way a home functions. Here’s what we’re focusing on:
- Highly functional layout – Maximizing storage, efficiency, and flow.
- Cohesive palette & materials – Creating a foundation that will tie into the rest of the home.
- Durable, high-quality selections – Because these rooms work hard every day.
The Inspiration
For these spaces, we wanted to go bold, but not trendy—something that feels both dramatic and timeless. Here’s what you can expect:
- Color: Bold and moody hues, with a mix of deep neutrals and warm wood tones.
- High Contrast: Un-lacquered brass cabinet hardware, checkered tile on floor, and natural wood for warmth.
- Lighting: Thoughtfully placed fixtures that create a cozy yet functional glow. Adding sconces to walls turns this more functional room into something special.
- Functionality: A spacious folding area, utility sink, custom built-in cabinetry, such as a custom drying rack to hold clothes out of the way and cubbies to keep everything in its place for this young family of four.
What’s Next?
This is just the beginning! We’ll be diving into more of the home’s transformation soon, but for now, we’re focusing on making these foundational spaces beautiful and functional. We can’t wait to share more of this journey—stay tuned for all the behind-the-scenes as this project unfolds!
