Laundry rooms don’t have to be forgotten when it comes to style and design. Since my laundry room was such a small space I thought I would do something a little out of the box. Using paints and supplies I already had I was able to add an eye catching accent wall. The cabinet ($25) and shelves ($3 for all) were purchased from my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. This was an easy project that could be accomplished over a weekend. It added both function and style. Now I don’t have to dread doing laundry…but I still do.

I started with painting the whole room white. It instantly felt cleaner and brighter. It was a little boring though so I decided to add an accent wall. I love herringbone! It is a simple process to create using a level, ruler and painters tape. I measured down the middle, and then measured half of that, making four equal sections. Then I made a mark every six inches, and made diagonal lines with painter’s tape. I painted different sizes and colors to give it some more visual interest.

We would love to learn something from you. Please leave comments, ask questions, and even answer some of ours!
