The 10 Most Popular Laundry Rooms So Far in 2025

Laundry Room Ideas – A look at the following of the most-saved laundry photos so far this year reveals that style trends typically found in kitchens and bathrooms are branching out.

Patterned tile, pretty light fixtures and calming tones of blue and gray energize these rooms while drying rods and racks, sorting baskets, folding counters, and utility sinks provide a foolproof function.

1. Feeling Preppy in Minnesota

It’s hard to know if it was the plaid Marmoleum floor, abstract floral wallpaper, or the combination of the two that had Houzz users so excited about this marvelous laundry room by Martha O’Hara Interiors in Minneapolis.

Takeaway: Bring your personal style into the laundry room, whether that means hanging up a few favorite framed postcards or introducing a cute new hamper.

2. Stylishly Utilitarian in Minnesota

There’s a sense of stylish modern utility in this laundry room by Swanson Homes in Medina, Minnesota. The colors, straight lines, and sconce are subtly industrial, and the leather-handled baskets add a beautiful finishing touch.

Takeaway: Baskets and hampers are an easy and inexpensive way to add style to a laundry room.

3. Snazzy Backsplash in Boston

There’s a similar contrast between the dark floors and white cabinets in this Boston laundry room by JMH Designs. The matte black faucet and hardware bring the contrast to the countertops and cabinets. But it was the eye-catching elegant backsplash that was the most buzzed-about topic in Houzz users’ idea books.

Takeaway: A laundry room backsplash usually won’t require a lot of tiles, so it’s a good opportunity to splurge on something special.

4. High Contrast in Calgary

Sleek slate gray appliances work well with the charcoal floor in this Calgary, Alberta, laundry room. Designer Susan de Ridder of Live Well Interiors gave the room beautiful transitional style with finishes like the quartz countertop and large-format floor tiles. And the pros at Knight Custom Homes maximized functionality with smart cabinetry.

Takeaway: Dark floors are a great way to anchor a mostly white space.

5. Ironed-Out Ideas in Australia

The pullout ironing board in this Floreat, Australia, laundry room grabbed a lot of attention from Houzz users. Interior designer Caitlin Slater of Smart Style Bathrooms says the integrated feature “takes the pressure off the cupboard space and gives the clients more storage.”

Takeaway: A pretty faucet at the utility sink serves as the jewelry of the room.

6. Patterned Wall Tiles in Miami

For this stylish Miami laundry room, the team at Ann Ueno Interior Design installed patterned tile on the walls rather than the floor. It also managed to squeeze in functional elements like a utility sink, a counter for folding, a drying rod, and cabinetry.

Takeaway: A countertop installed over front-loading machines provides a convenient spot for folding.

7. Luxe Style in Little Rock

The pros at Katie Grace Designs left no detail unconsidered in this laundry room in Little Rock, Arkansas. They treated the space like a luxurious show house bathroom or kitchen, incorporating elements such as a bridge faucet, cabinet feet, marble floor, and elongated subway wall tile.

Takeaway: Add some family photos or mementos to the laundry room to give it a more inviting feel.

8. Chic Floors in Chicago

In this Chicago laundry room by Reynolds Architecture Design & Construction, a similar color palette to the previous room creates a welcoming ambiance. The elegant floor tile and polished finishes complete the look.

Takeaway: Emphasize height in a small space. To do that, try painting the crown molding in a color that contrasts with the walls to help draw the eye up.

9. Calm Transitional Style in Dallas

Traci Connell Interiors layered textures including shiplap, wood, and gray patterned floor tile in this beautiful Dallas laundry room. Cool blue cabinetry and plenty of natural light no doubt make doing laundry here a little less boring.

Takeaway: When it comes to laundry room ceiling lighting, reconsider typical rounded flush mounts and opt for a more decorative fixture to elevate the look.

10. Modern Farmhouse Style in Seattle

This expansive laundry room by Heiser Designs shares space with a walk-in pantry. Houzz users were drawn to the patterned floor tile, an element seen in several of the most popular laundry rooms. Smart functional features such as the hidden litter box, drying rack, and apron-front utility sink also grabbed attention.

Takeaway: Wood shelving adds warmth to a mostly white space.
