Because it’s a kids’ laundry room and I wanted to make the space fun I decided to paint the cabinets! A blue/green of course. :) I was so nervous about how these cabinets would turn out. I knew I wanted a blue/green so I looked at a few swatches and chose the color quickly. My cabinet guy looked at me like I was crazy, but I love it! This is one of my favorite rooms because of the fun paint. (Cabinet color is Wythe Blue by Benjamin Moore.)
The tile is white glass subway tile. I used regular white subway tile in our downstairs laundry room so I chose the glass subway tile to add a fun shine to this room and mix it up. Counters are Quartz (Organic White) just like in our kitchen and the girls’ bathroom.
So that’s it! Our upstairs laundry room. Several things didn’t go as planned with this space, but in the end I love the way it turned out. It’s a happy room that greets me at the top of our stairs each day and makes doing laundry not so bad.
And now I’m off to finish that laundry. That’s sitting in piles in the hallway so I could take pictures of empty hampers.

Erin, I would love one of those laundry rooms. 2? I would be in laundry heaven. Love the storage. Ohh that storage. I will be day dreaming about it as I go to my laundry-water heater-furnace tiny closet. :).
I love the colors and all the organization!
What’s in the drawers under the washer and dryer?
What do you keep in the thin bottom drawers below the washer and dryer? They’re cute!
OMG. This is such a great laundry room. It makes me happy just looking at it. And you are very lucky to have one near your girls’ rooms. We moved in our house 10 years ago, and I still want one upstairs next to their rooms! Ha! (Our laundry room is in the basement, they’re on the 3rd floor.) Thanks for sharing!!

The colors you chose are so soothing. I love all the details.
It is gorgeous! I love, love, love the color. Makes me want to paint mine. I just wish our 1 was half the size of yours!! It is sooo tiny for a house our size. Definitely designed by a man.
This is incredible! We’re still apartment-living, but this makes my laundry-loving heart very happy to imagine for someday…
Beautiful, Erin. I agree with you on the real marble, it looks better with the paint color. I hope you Pin this. I sure need laundry room ideas. The ironing board idea is fabulous! I hate hauling out our ironing board in and out of the closet. Great job all around, Erin.
There are so many great things about this room. I think the cabinet color is the best! Thanks for sharing!
Every time I am shopping and see this color I always think of you! Love the room and color!
Oh my gosh! I love this room!! The cabinet color is so fun and cheerful!!! You have great taste Erin!
I love that you think of everything like drying racks, hidden hampers, etc. I love the color of the cabinets and I agree the first tile not good. I love your blog so much. Amy in Wisconsin.
Hi Erin,
Having a large space with a window for natural light, and then designing it as well as you did with all the storage, drying rack, ironing board, etc. make every room in your house a visual pleasure to be in.
You’ve done a great job knowing what you needed and wanted, and having an architect willing to incorporate it all.
Smart ot have both an upstairs and a downstairs laundry room for a busy family.
You must be very proud of your home. It should be HGTV Dream Home 2015!
Wow! Most beautiful laundry room ever! Love it and the green color — so pretty! Very cool light fixture!
Wow – so beautiful and fun! Our kids started their laundry at 16 with driving privileges :).
Just sitting down for the first time tonight and what a treat reading all of your sweet comments! Thank you so much everyone! I’m truly so happy you like the space!
xx
Karen and Casey – I don’t have anything in them yet, but I’m thinking I’ll use them to store my kids’ reports/school projects that are too big to fit in their albums. I have huge piles of them in my office that I still need to go through. I keep putting it off! :)
Constance – Oh my word! I hardly think that. :) But thank you so much!
Beautiful Erin! It’s funny that all the little things you notice-the window off center-I would never ever had noticed, it all looks SO pretty and perfect to me. The color is beautiful! And the floor and the walls etc. :)
oh my word – i cannot stop visiting your blog because posts like this very one utterly slay me! please never, ever stop sharing how you spend your time, talent and money.
I love the colors you have! The marble floor was a great choice –Hanna Lei
I want to die and be buried in this room. That is all.
Erin, I think we were separated at birth, LOL! Seriously though, our brainwaves are ao connected- I would have totally had the same thought processes on all that- the off centered window, busy tiles, fun paint, etc. I give it an A+. For sure! Ps- my laundry room would have been that color back in 2007 when we built if the hubs would have agreed! Guess I needed a kids laundry room ;). Thanks for sharing :)

Oh Erin, I know so many have already said it but this room is SO great! I love everything! The colors, storage, and all the smart details you’ve put in there. I know it was a long hard process to pick and choose every single thing for the house but the results made it worth it.
I absolutely adore your laundry room, how awesome to have one just for the kids!!
Wow, Erin. I love the design of this laundry room and color. I am in the process of remodeling my small laundry room now. Can you tell me what the measurements of the laundry room is? I hope to incorporate some of your ideas. Thanks, Andrea
Where did you purchase the tall laundry baskets from? Thanks. Kathy
I would love to know where you purchased your tall laundry bins from too!!! Thanks for sharing, Megan
Thank you so much everyone! Such kind comments! Sue you made me laugh out loud! :)
Andrea – that laundry room is approximately 11×11 give or take a few inches!
Kathy and Megan – we got the laundry baskets from an on-line place called Rev-a-Shelf. They have TONS of great organizing gadgets. :)
Hi Erin,
I just found this post from pinterest and now I need to spend many hours going through your archived posts, I love your style. I’m wondering what brand of cabinets these are or if they are custom made. I’m in the beginning stages of creating an upstairs laundry room in our current house and haven’t found any cabinetry that has the laundry functions that I want (Pull out baskets, drying racks). TIA!
I was wondering about the cabinets too! Where id you get them??
The cabinets are all custom. :)
Hi Erin, I love your style! I thought I had read on one of your posts where you purchased the door/drawers hardware from. Of course now I can’t find it. Could you please share that? Thank you!
Hi Michelle! Thank you! All of our drawer hardware is from Restoration Hardware. Our door hardware is from Emtek. :)
Very first word that comes to mind is…..WOW! Now this is one truly exceptional laundry room! Erin, you are one ‘BLESSED’ Mama! My children are grown now, but sure would have loved one like this when I was raising them
Hi Patty! Thank you so much. Yes! Definitely makes laundry easier with the little ones. It was fun to design! Nice to “meet” you! xo
Hi Erin,
Beautiful home. Can you tell me the dimensions of this laundry?
:-)
What are the dimensions of your pull out laundry baskets? I love this idea!
Hi Stacy! Just measured them for you! The full drawers are about 21×15 and the actual hampers are 18×13 1/2. Hope that helps! Thank you! xo
Where did you find pull out hamper cabinets?? I must have these!!
Thanks Jessica! I drew a picture of them and my cabinet maker made them custom. xo
Hello, very nice laundry room. I love this one so much that I will inspire my laundry room from it for sure. Would it be possible to know the size of this room?
Thanks a lot and continue your nice work.
Forgot my question. I just sae that you answered in another comment!
Thanks Andre! Glad you found it. :) xo
Hi,
I’m looking to create the same laundry sorting system. Where are the baskets from? Did you just have your trim carpenter custom build the inserts they fit it? Beautiful room!
Hi Melanie! Thank you! Yes.. my cabinet guy built the inserts into the cabinets. He also ordered the baskets for me and I’m not sure where he got them! Sorry I’m not more help! I just drew a picture of what I wanted and paid him to make it happen. :) xo
Hi! I realize I’m a little late to the party, but we are about to redo our laundry room and I have been looking at pics of them for weeks. I absolutely love yours! Is the flooring 12×18 carrara? My laundry room is about the same size and I have been having a hard time finding something that doesn’t look too big or too small. Thanks so much!
Hi Jennifer! Sorry I just saw your comment! Yes! 12×18 Carrara! It was left over from our master bathroom and ended up being perfect for this laundry. It’s a great size! xo
Hi Erin!
I couldn’t have come across your blog at the most perfect time! Your laundry room layout is EXACTLY the way I had in mind for ours that I’m sketching out right now. We’re in the process of building and I’m trying to get the room laid out on paper how I want it for our cabinet guy and your blog has shown me that it can work! I’ve seen your previous post on the room dimensions but was also hoping you would share the size of your trash can drawer & can size as well as your tall cabinet to the right of the W&D? How wide, deep, & tall is each section? Do you use this tall cabinet for your broom/mop/etc.? Is it enough space if so? That’s what I was hoping to use it for. Thanks a ton for your help!!
Hi Lorrie! Thank you so much! So happy my blog has been helpful to you! My trash can drawer is 2 feet deep and 1 foot wide. My tall cabinet to the right of the W/D is 5 1/2 feet tall and around 1 1/2 feet wide. The one above it is also 1 1/2 feet wide wide and 2 1/2 feet tall. I don’t use it for cleaning supplies because I have a cleaning closet located under my stairs but that’s a great idea for that cabinet! :) Best of luck finishing yours! xo
I love your laundry rooms! We are building a new laundry room in our basement and I want to recreate your pullout laundry baskets. What size are they? Where did you buy them? Did you have to have the cabinets custom built to fit them? How wide are all three hampers combined (if you measured all three cabinet doors).
Thanks!
So I just read through all the comments and got the answers I was looking for. Thanks!!
Oh good! Happy you found them Jessica! xo
Fabulous job. Now, can you come to my house and help me get this look. I love everything about this room.
Thank you so much Ivory! xo
Erin,
I am using your laundry room as inspiration for our renovation. I in love with your light fixture, did you choose the 715-Delphite Blue as the strip color? I realize this is quite an old post and hoping you remember. Thank you,
Kristi
Hi Kristi! No.. I don’t remember the number, but my band is the Jadeite band! Hope that helps! :)
I love this light! Which size do you have – 10″ or 14″?
Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much Laura! I think it’s the 14″! xo
