Great Ideas for Your Home

Today's laundry rooms have gone from dark and dank to airy and multi-functional Laundry rooms were once sectioned-off corners in cement-walled basements. Today they are not only more conveniently located, but serve more than one purpose. In addition to cleaning your clothes, laundry rooms now double as gift-wrapping rooms, craft-rooms, sewing rooms and a myriad other purposes. Expertly-designed laundry rooms can also be an ideal place to create extra storage space. Many homeowners devote a shelf in the laundry room to their children or grandchildren. For example, the shelf can contain a wicker basket filled with books or toys. This way children can spend time with mom and dad while they're doing house work.
