Laundry might not be your favorite task, but what if your laundry room could make it a little less painful? Decorating it and making it fun could help those boring chores be a little less boring.
This isn’t about a total overhaul; it’s about simple ideas that can transform your laundry room into a space you’ll actually enjoy using. Let’s look at these awesome farmhouse ideas for a laundry room to give you some inspiration!
1. Sliding Barn Doors
Nothing says “farmhouse style” like a sliding barn door. These distressed wood doors add more than rustic flair, though. Sliding doors in the laundry room would be easy to slide open with a foot when your arms are full of laundry.
Inside the laundry room, there are cabinets in a similar color and grain to the doors, and all the colors remain neutral, which is also indicative of farmhouse decor.
2. Large and Light
This laundry room uses its space wisely to create a homey, warm area without overdoing it.
The neutral color scheme, slightly distressed cabinets, woven baskets, and practical countertop decorations, which mix the old and the new, make this décor easily attainable and classic.
3. Natural Wood and Textures
Farmhouse allows the blending of different textures and woods. This example has beautiful wooden walls left as natural as possible, allowing the gorgeous grains and knobs in the wood to take center stage.
The whitewashed wood next to the dryer resembles reclaimed pallet wood, while the live plants add the smallest bit of color. The floating shelves meld the textures and add interest and extra storage!
4. Longhorns and Chalkboards
Although in recent years, the farmhouse trend has been easing away from cute inspirational signs, they are still widely available and in use. In many cases, they double as a place to hang keys, scarves, or coats. The small chalkboard next to the door is great for memos and aesthetics.
The copper planter on the counter adds contrast, and so does the brick backsplash rising from the countertop. The horns in the window add a little something extra!
5. Wired
The use of wire baskets and containers is a huge style feature in farmhouse décor. In this picture, we see the cabinets over the countertop organized with wire baskets, as well as a wire container on the countertop itself.
The terracotta planter adds texture and a splash of life. The space is simple and rustic, complete with a sign proclaiming “LAUNDRY.”
6. Shiplap Walls
One of the hallmarks of farmhouse style is shiplap, and incorporating this into your laundry room walls is a perfect way to add rustic charm. The horizontal wood panels create a clean, country feel that’s both welcoming and timeless.
7. No Room? No Problem.
You might have thought that just because your laundry room is small, it isn’t worth decorating. That is never the case. As with this example, you can see how just a few touches make a cozy room.
The sign on the wall, the glass containers for the detergent, and the shiny metal bucket add some layers to the look, and the beautiful wood grain counter over the washer and dryer warms the entire space.
8. Industrial Farmhouse
This style perfectly blends rustic warmth with modern, industrial flair, and the laundry room in the image is a great example. Notice the use of reclaimed wood for the countertop and shelving, giving the space a raw, rugged charm.
The addition of black metal brackets adds an industrial touch, while the soft, neutral curtains underneath the countertop bring in a farmhouse element, cleverly hiding storage. Vintage wooden crates and glass storage jars offer both functionality and decor, contributing to the old-world, yet industrial aesthetic.
The natural textures of wicker baskets and distressed wood further elevate the farmhouse appeal while maintaining the sleek, organized feel of the industrial design.
9. Signs and Plants
Adding printed signs and greenery is an effortless way to elevate the farmhouse style of your laundry room.
In the image, a minimalist wall sign with bold typography serves as a focal point, offering inspiration and personality. Paired with natural elements like a large potted plant and smaller tabletop greenery, these touches bring life and color to an otherwise neutral space.
The combination of plants and prints softens the clean lines of modern laundry appliances and adds warmth to the room. This mix of nature and art creates an inviting, fresh, and balanced atmosphere, blending both farmhouse charm and contemporary style.
10. Bricks and Baskets
The combination of exposed brick and woven baskets brings a perfect balance of rustic charm and practicality to any farmhouse-style laundry room. Bricks add texture and warmth, creating a cozy, vintage backdrop, while baskets provide stylish, functional storage solutions.
Whether used for laundry, towels, or other essentials, wicker baskets complement the raw, earthy feel of the brick, enhancing the overall farmhouse aesthetic.
11. Lost Socks
This adorable “Lost Socks” sign tickles the funny bones as it speaks for all the sock singles that seem to get separated from their mates in the dryer.
The wicker baskets and dark stained wooden counter adds a rustic feel. The plants add a refreshing green tinge to the room, making everything looks nice and earthy against a white backdrop.
In Closing
Farmhouse style is a wonderful blend of old and new and is actually much easier to obtain than you might’ve imagined. Take inspiration from these fabulous laundry rooms. Freshen up your space as well as your clothes!
