This laundry room video is, hands down, my absolute favourite. Every time I need to pick up my spirits, I play this. The images are just so GORGEOUS!! So many of them make me want to up my laundry room game. Fantastic inspiration. Sibongile.
I just purchased a smart washer and dryer and I love it! It gets the clothes clean and the smart options help me keep my sanity with my clothes not getting ruined. Don’t knock it if you haven’t even had one.
Thank you for watching and validating 🙌🏻 I’ve had both- old school models growing up in my parent’s home and as a grown up now in my own home with my smart appliances. Smart, efficient, quiet, STEAMS… I could go on and on. There’s just NO contest for me 🤗
I was the recipient of an old set from a friend who was upgrading to a smart set. My laundry room is in my carport . I decorated and made it visually cute with baskets and faux greenery. I am thankful to no longer be going to public laundromats. I have an original antique wash board hanging on the wall, it's a real conversation starter. I could decorate an outhouse and make it cute if needed..Sometimes you have to play with the cards you are dealt. You always exceed my expectations..😀😀
This channel is like going to design school - I learn something new with each and every video. Who would've thought about flooring in a laundry room? It makes so much sense! Julie, you're a treasure! Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom.
Just bought a new set for my new house and while those smart machines are convenient and beautiful, I went with a good old top load Speed Queen. The front loaders stink and temper the water! The SQ w electronic controls will tell me how long the load will take and I can set my phone alarm. Not as gorgeous but extremely effective.
Totally agree! My sister had a front loader and she would clean it AND leave the door open in between loads but she could detect a mildew smell! We are doing a whole home renovation and opted to purchase a top loader even though the front loaders look better
Completely agree. Had a very expensive front loader and those rubber rings are THE WORST. I donated it and got a good top loader, but I have to say I really miss the old agitators!!
You are right, once a coin got stuck in the front loader and we had to call a technician for that but when same thing happened in a top loader, we just had to take it out manually from the tub.. simple !
THIS! Front loaders smell awful! They smell like mildew no matter how much you clean them or leave the door open to air out after use. Top loaders look old and ugly but when the time comes to replace mine I’m going for an old fashioned top loader….if they still even make them.
Before I watch the video, let me say again you and I are apparently on the same page because I've moved from weird rooms to having to totally redo a laundry room. Love that your content is always right on time.
For asthetics yes new washer and dryer but for durability no. Older models last forever. They are not hard to repair. My husband has changed gaskets and more and it works great amd saves money.
I could not agree with this more. We are adding over 1000 sq ft to our home and could afford a new set. But my old ones work and can be fixed. New ones don’t last as long. From an environmental perspective throwing out a working appliance to buy a new more efficient one feels like it misses the whole point of trying to be environmentally friendly. When mine do eventually break I’ll be looking for durability and efficiency for long term environmental gains.
Thank you for allowing the eye to take in each new image before zapping onto the next. Also appreciate pauses in narrative to allow information to sink in. And I learned so much! Very well done. Thanks again ~
Excellent tips! Hoping to get SpeedQueen washer and dryer for new build. Our old Maytags are 27 years old and still working fine, will leave them in our condo.
PLEASE do a series of amazing clever designs for small apartments on a budget. 🙏🏻 because I feel like I can not apply most of your amazing tips to my space because I don’t have the space and money 😬
I don’t have a laundry room, but rather a laundry “space”. Mine is actually in the kitchen of my tiny cottage. I am looking forward to your videos on smaller spaces. Thank you for these fabulous videos!
Mine is in an open hallway leading to the back door, I love it! I never use a drier, I use an outside clothesline or in winter an airer in a sunny spot in a room I don’t use all the time👍
I am about to have two walls knocked down to make an open plan kitchen diner with sofa. I miss my old utility room so have asked my cabinet fitter to build me a 'laundry cupboard' to incorporate my old sink. He suggested moving the kitchen onto the old dining room area and having a kitchen island. I cannot wait as I have made do with a galley style kitchen for 30 plus years! Thankyou for all of your advice and tips ❤
Lovely! Perfact timing!! ❤ I'd like to see more on organisation tips and tricks, for all rooms - laundry room, kitchen, study, guest room etc. Maybe even a series. Thanks.
I was thinking of breaking down a series specifically for storage and organization, but talked myself out of it because I thought no one would be interested! 😆 Thank you for the feedback Sibongile, I’ll work on it now, yay! 🙌🏻
I love doing laundry My daughter made me a sign that says mum’s hide out ! But With 9 people and 4 dogs The narrow space is terrible I hit my arms trying to fold from the dryer I’m going to swap out my open shelves for cabinets Thank you for this video
Liked the video RIGHT AWAY lol because who doesn't neglect the laundry room. Completely last on my to-do list lol aaaaand you just came for me! lmao my washer and dryer is from 1984 🤦🏾♀️ but hey they came with the house and run like a champ! 🥲 my laundry room is in the guest bathroom too 😬 probably should invest.
I have been seeing lots of comments on old faithful Erika! You know what you need, and if it’s still in great working condition, by all means do what works best for you 🙌🏻☺️
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It's both helpful and inspiring. I have lived with the mentioned drawbacks of a front loader for 18 years, so I strongly considered a top loader. Speed Queen looked like a great choice. Unfortunately, I couldn't reach all the way down to the bottom of the inside of the top loading washing machines. (At 5'6", I didn't considered myself to be short.) Disappointed...so it looks like we'll buy another front loader. Since they are deeper, I had trouble reaching to the back of the traditional front loader. I'm 74, so knee power is not what it once was. Either a 5" riser or a 15" riser should solve that, but it looks like we'll need to sacrifice having a counter in order to make either of those work. (We love our shelves and cupboards above that space.) sigh. Change can be stressful, even when it's good change. I will re-style the room, so in the end, it's all good. Function first. Body function, that is. 😊
Function first ALWAYS! 🙌🏻 Also my gripe with the top loaders- it’s challenging washing bulky bedding with that huge agitator in the middle. I just wanna stuff it all in sometimes and front loader is made for this purpose.
amazing video, very comprehensive. I've found that the area above the washer and dryer does not work since it is too tall for me to utilize as a folding or hanging location. I wish it did because it would look nicer open over those massive appliances. I can only use it for deep storage of bulk items that rarely get changed out, like entire packages of paper towels or toilet paper, because of this. You can be sure that a stepladder is always in the closet. I'm a little hesitant to defy advice when such an experienced voice is warning me not to. Designing occasionally involves making mistakes. Is this a definite no?
I use this spot above my laundry area for bulky appliances I don’t use daily like my Instapot, party platters, and backstock cleaning supplies. Does the job, serves its purpose 👍
Thanks for such a helpful video..... I was searching for laundry room ideas and through your video I got flooded with so many awesome ideas and not only ideas but the points to consider while making it. Visual examples are the best part of your video, you made every thing crystal clear. Best video on Laundry Room in You tube.
Julie--Stunning examples and great ideas! I'm redoing my laundry room and have a new top loader. (My front loader was a nightmare--I was spending tons of my time cleaning my washing machine!). I noticed that most of the pictures featured front loaders, which do allow for counter space on top. I would love to see more ideas of maximizing space/creating shelves or cabinetry for rooms that have top loading machines. Thank you!
Me, too. Hated the front loader and switched back. I didn’t like the washer spitting on my clothes, swaying them like a baby and then having me maintain the thing. I’ve heard from ppl who feel the same and others who love them. Thankfully there are both sold!
Great point on the tile flooring! ♥ Yesterday my sink stopped draining for some reason while machine was running, and suddenly I got a home upgrade in the form of an indoor pool :))))) If the floors were wood, like it was in my previous home, that would have been a nightmare. Now all I need to do is to dry this and check the walls for mold :)
I would love to see more in additions, like more rooms added to a smaller older homes. Create functions and open space for today’s look than back then with separate rooms which made the house very non cozy... I want more lights and airy type of vibe... also more patios ideas and how fencing would provide long term care... what is the best out there and what measurement to go with the house ... goodness I have a lot to ask. Love all of your ideas on all of your videos. Thank you for sharing!! ❤️💡🏡
@@junehodsdon8037 I'd rather they use marginally more water and work for twenty years than break after five. The environmental cost of producing a new washer and dryer and its components have more of a negative environmental impact.
Thank you for watching and the feedback L! I’ve had my smart washer/dryer for over 6 years now. They’re still going strong (🤞🏻) My mom still has the older models and hers break down all the time. I’m sure it has everything to do with which make/manufacturer. If you don’t mind sharing yours, I’m sure the viewers would love to know to help their decision 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu Gladly, and I'm sure you're right on the manufacturer piece! They are by no means aesthetically pleasing, but we have the Amana Top-Load Washer and Dryer (less than $1,000 for the pair). Bought in 2013, super budget brand, no issues or complaints so far. We hang dry most of our clothing, so that really saves the dryer, electricity and our clothes! Thanks as always for your great videos - wishing all of our appliances, long issue free lives! :)
Your presentation was great. I have built an addition for a laundry room and I can't pick colors, textures or wall paper. Thank you for the great tips. I'll keep watching.
So loving your bold interior design style. Your vlogs always inspire me to take a fresh look at those forgotten spaces that haven't gotten the attention they deserve.
Before this video, I didn't even thought a laundry room is a thing! In my area, people put their washers either in the bathroom or in the kitchen. Honestly, I dislike both options. My next living space will definitely have a proper laundry room or at least a dedicated laundry space!!! And I would have to watch this video again, which I'm looking forward already 😀
It’s awesome hearing what other countries and states do with their laundry areas Kamila! I realize my videos may be US-centric at times (apologies in advance), but that’s all I know 😆 thank you for watching 🙏🏻

This is super inspiring, updating our laundry space is a new project we’ve began and this really helped. Our laundry is also our creepy dark basement. I decided I wanted it to be more than the place we avoid unless we need to wash clothings or store a box!
Side by side front loading to gain at least 6ft of countertop space above it. Double height cabinets above to accommodate laundry needs, extra linens, cleaning supplies. Paint or paper in your favorite shades and add curtains on the outside above the closet opening for full access and to hide the ugly 😉 No doors = no obstacles 👏🏻
I just moved in my brand new house and I have a whole space for my laundry room, so perfect timing 😃 I have obviously my 2 beautiful washer and dryer connected to my iPhone. I don’t know how I made it so far without them 😆 I have beautiful tiles on the floor. I am planning to buy a little kitchen so I can have a clean storage. Anyway work in progress. Thanks Julie and yes a series like this one would be highly appreciated Take care 💙
Awesome! I’m jealous of your separate room 😍 What kind of washer/dryer do you have Kara? Would love to help the viewers out who are shopping for new appliances 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu yes! New laundry space, new everything 💁🏻♀️ I actually bought both dryer and washer from Samsung. The washer is not less than 10.5 kg so I can’t tell you how much time I save thanks to that with 5 family members. The washer and the dryer are connected with wifi so there is an AI, the dryer knows what kind of program to set according to the washer one. Everything controlled from my iPhone 😀 I am addicted to technology 😂 Anyway I am so happy with my laundry room. The space is not that big ( may be 20 m2, plus there are 3 doors, one to the garage, one to an accent bathroom and one to the basement, but I draw exactly what I need, because you’re right the laundry room design shouldn’t be left behind 😃
I just found you and love your sense of style. I just moved into a 3 level townhouse and I am having a hard time trying to organize and maximize my space, especially the kitchen.
Thank you for watching G! Check out my Dream Space series where I share my process of designing a space from scratch. Then watch my kitchen design mistakes video for more tips! You got this! One space at a time 🙌🏻
Could you show designs with the old school washer and dryer? My repair person told me to never buy the front loader washer and dryer because he said he would be out repairing them. I've stuck with my old school machines with little to no repair and some repairs I made myself. I love the ideas you have shown in this video. I struggle with how to achieve something functional for my old school (not old) washer and dryer set up. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you.
Great video. Thanks so much! I'm about to start construction on a new laundry closet upstairs (7'' wide)! Got some great ideas. We have side by side machines because we refuse front loading washers. So, I'm looking at basically 2 extra feet to the sides of the machines to work with (and of course above the machines!) and figure out the best use of space. It's across the hall from a bathroom, so I don't think I'll need a slop or pretreat sink. We're going to put a murphy style folding table on the outside side wall of the closet, so folding space is taken care of. I'm thinking some form of dirty clothes containment, whether that's a pull-out lower cabinet that hides the hampers (one for towels, one for clothes!). Love the color choices in the video and keep up the great work!
A hamper station is a great choice or a pull-out drying rack if you need one. I line dry all my delicates (no more dry-cleaning expenses woohoo!) so this is essential for me. Hope that helps!
I started working on laundry/utility closets and this video got way too long 😆 I’m breaking it up instead Lanay, laundry closets + utility coming up! 👍🏻☺️
Hey Julie, was wondering what are you thoughts on two color toned kitchen cabinets? White cabinets at the top, and darker cabinets at the bottom and island. And what the floor colors should be with the high contrast of the cabinets. Would love to see a video on color selections for the kitchen!
Do what you love Angel! If you keep saving inspiration images with this look, that’s a clear indication it’s a winner. Pay attention to what people do with the floors to help guide you 👍🏻☺️
Great work Julie.. I have a small laundry room 5’x7’ on floor map of our house. Plz share some clever updated ideas to add ironing boards that can be fold/ hide away
You can simply mount it on the wall and pull down when needed Dua! Check out some of these images again, lots of ways to address this common design element 👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu thanks Julie . You are awesome as you personally reply to so many queries of your viewers.yes , your are right . We are thinking it this way , it’s just that there could be some different ways to choose from . My laundry room is going to share one wall with kitchen . So it’s a must for us to make it look completely organised and classy . What do you suggest for separation :Should we add barn door or swinging doors ( like We don’t have to push or pull them while carrying something ) or leave it open . There will be an exit door to outside on the common wall right between kitchen n laundry room. Thanks
@@JulieKhuu I will request to do one more video n share your thoughts n examples of multifunctionality in laundry room for sewing , ironing etc. This is a lot of spent time at room . Thanks
Hello! My husband and I love your videos. We've been watching all your videos and we are learning a lot! We just recently bought a new house and your videos has been helpful to how we will decorate our new house. My husband is wondering if you can make a video on how to decorate an office. Thank you!
You overlooked one key aspect when selecting a new washer & dryer. All the bells and whistles are great but not if you struggle to use them. If you are over 60, placing & removing clothes from a bottom stackable washer can be a back killer. Place it on a pedestal and you need to be 6 foot+ to reach the dryer. Placing them side by side makes the most sense, with pedestals beneath for storage.
Pedestals are definitely more ergonomic, but not if you upper cabinets or shelving that limit the vertical height. Unfortunately that’s what I deal with Deb 🙁
My favorite room the in house 😍 Do you have any ideas or recommendations on maximizing space of a house with stairs in the middle of the house? I have a long living room area adjacent to the stair in a hallway style there’s an outside door leading to it and I just feel like it’s wasted space in the middle of the house.
Julie, I wish I can keep my recent bought washer and dryer. 😞 Unfortunately, it broke down on me twice within a month. Good thing I held onto my old, very old washer and dryer (still work after 12 yrs). If you have any suggestions/ or luck with which brand of washer and dryer, please lmk!
I have a GE (no issues, in my 6th yr 🤞🏻), I hear LG is awesome and quite affordable. What make/model was your set and what was the recurring issue? Would love to know and maybe help another viewer who is reading this?
How do you suggest hiding electrical panels, water tanks, and other industrial piping and wires if the space is shared with the laundry and can’t be dry walled? (For access) Do you suggest relocating the laundry room entirely?
Julie! These videos are the best! I live in AZ and it’s common to have a laundry room outside. We’re going to be attaching it to the home soon. It will be “attached” to the kitchen thru a small hallway (about 3’ X 3’) and a pocket door with small windows on the door, I think. You say have some fun with the laundry room. Is it ok to do something totally different color wise in the laundry room if you’ll be able to see it through the kitchen or should they stay cohesive? I don’t want it to be too crazy but if I can get away with a little crazy I’ll do it! Thanks for all the videos! I love them!
My husband & I tried. But, we’re hopeless🤦🏻♀️ Actively searching for a designer now to fix our mistakes. Unfortunately had a bad experience on Houzz. Guy took a consulting fee & disappeared.
I need to dye fabric so need a top loading washer with the ability to fill the water to an adequate level. That feature is only available on older models long before all these water saving features. I'm praying that my machine doesn't die anytime soon. A friend has been through 3 new machines in the last 10 years or so and hates them all. Says they don’t clean well because they are so stingy with the water that she must wash some loads several times. Not much energy savings if you ask me.
Love this angle Jay and you’re absolutely right. When I used to DIY dye my fabrics, I did it in my parents’ top loading washer! I forgot all about that! Clearly, this is conditional, but that’s a good point too. I just replaced my smart washer- the drum collapsed and it cost more to service than buy a new one. I’m on year 10. I have no qualms about the new upgrade. It served me well. When it’s time, it’s time.
Another great video! Hey I have a request; how about a video on stairs? Often neglected I think, and I’ve been hearing conflicting advice on the best flooring to use for stairs; carpet for more traction etc, would love to hear your insight !
Julie this was what I needed thank you so much❤️🙂👍 I know not all can have a library but if you can fit it in I'd appreciate it....I'm thinking if turning the master bedroom into my library...nothing over the top but could use some insight...thanks for your hard work and help...you so Rock 🙂❤️
I want to store my laundry detergent etc. in bottles other than what I purchased them in. I put the detergent and softener in a glass bottle with a rubber seal. I also put my bleach in the same type of container, but it seems to be eating the rubber, and my bleach is turning black. What would be a good alternative, as I don't want to use the plastic container it was bought in.
13:01 yes please! A video on washroom closets. My soon-to-be new apartment has a water heater directly above the dryer on one side & a shelf directly above the washing machine. Awkward space for storage. 🥴
Hi Julie, I love wallpapers but not my hubby 😩 I love from time to time refresh my home but not my hubby 😡 sometimes I just do it whether he likes or not I’m the one who does all the housekeeping and I’m the CEO of the family 😜 love another video of your 👍🏻😘❤️❤️❤️
Having the same cabinets, colors, and countertops surrounding the washer/dryer will help it blend in seamlessly with the kitchen. I would relegate the appliances to one far and of the kitchen away from the stove/ cooktop/ fridge as best you can to keep the dust away. Closest to the sink so both zones can access this necessity 👍
I noted down so many ideas from this video, thank you! I am actually excited about designing my laundry room. Any ideas on storage and organization for the laundry closets would be more than welcome!
No smart washer and dryer for me. Mine are less than 3 years old and do not get my laundry clean. Give me a standard top load Speed Queen washer any day. I live with horses, dogs, cats and a less than tidy husband. I need heavy duty, not smart.
Especially when it comes to a dryer. I don't understand what makes a new smart dryer worth $1000+ 😳 We bought a new washing machine, but went to a scratch-and-dent place for the dryer.
Great inspiration ... I do have a basic question. When choosing stackable appliances does washer go on top or bottom or does it not matter which way around ?
Isabel,the washer goes on bottom for 2 reasons. Water doesn’t naturally flow up therefore reducing water pressure and washers have a tendency to get off balance and vibrate which could cause it to vibrate off the dryer. If the washer and dryer are not made to stack you can buy shock absorbers to put under the legs. I did this and have not had a problem. Hope this is helpful😊
Hello Julie~ So very pleased I found you! Your content is beyond helpful; so much depth. I have learned invaluable lessons from all your content! My husband and I are slowly working through a whole house remodel... circa 1964! Our laundry is in the garage. If possible, a video addressing this scenario would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is common spot for the laundry area Dina! I would definitely implement the same tips and use wallpaper or color to create a designated zone. Laundry cabinets would help to define where you start and stop the finished treatment. Will try to find more illustrations for a future video 👍🏻☺️
Great information! Would you put tiles on the laundry. room wall above the laundry tub? I have it painted and debating to tile the whole area. Any suggestions. Thanks
Thank you again for yet another great video! My question may be too vague, but I’d love your input. I am moving into a much smaller space and am considering switching to a compact washer & dryer. The thing is, I just bought the set I have now, last year and I really like them a lot. They are stackable, but have a difference in dimensions of 4” in both height and width, with about the same amount of depth as the new compact pair I’m looking at. In your opinion, is that a noticeable amount of space and worth considering swapping out? Thank you, for your time and your hard work making these videos.
If you’re bothered by it, have the budget for it, that’s all that matters Eileen. It’s kinda like Botox. There’s no authority on when you should take the plunge 😂

OMG!! So inspiring! I never would of thought of getting cool lighting in the laundry room, but I love it!
Instantly elevates the space 😍
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It's both helpful and inspiring.
I have lived with the mentioned drawbacks of a front loader for 18 years, so I strongly considered a top loader. Speed Queen looked like a great choice. Unfortunately, I couldn't reach all the way down to the bottom of the inside of the top loading washing machines. (At 5'6", I didn't considered myself to be short.) Disappointed...so it looks like we'll buy another front loader. Since they are deeper, I had trouble reaching to the back of the traditional front loader. I'm 74, so knee power is not what it once was. Either a 5" riser or a 15" riser should solve that, but it looks like we'll need to sacrifice having a counter in order to make either of those work. (We love our shelves and cupboards above that space.) sigh. Change can be stressful, even when it's good change. I will re-style the room, so in the end, it's all good. Function first. Body function, that is. 😊
Function first ALWAYS! 🙌🏻 Also my gripe with the top loaders- it’s challenging washing bulky bedding with that huge agitator in the middle. I just wanna stuff it all in sometimes and front loader is made for this purpose.
amazing video, very comprehensive. I've found that the area above the washer and dryer does not work since it is too tall for me to utilize as a folding or hanging location. I wish it did because it would look nicer open over those massive appliances. I can only use it for deep storage of bulk items that rarely get changed out, like entire packages of paper towels or toilet paper, because of this. You can be sure that a stepladder is always in the closet. I'm a little hesitant to defy advice when such an experienced voice is warning me not to. Designing occasionally involves making mistakes. Is this a definite no?
Ha, my grandaunt had a toilet, in her laundry room. 🥵🥵 It seems me weird, what do you think ??
I use this spot above my laundry area for bulky appliances I don’t use daily like my Instapot, party platters, and backstock cleaning supplies. Does the job, serves its purpose 👍
I love beautiful laundry rooms! Thanks, Julie.
Me too! Ahh one day I will have one Zee 😍🙌🏻
Thanks for such a helpful video.....
I was searching for laundry room ideas and through your video I got flooded with so many awesome ideas and not only ideas but the points to consider while making it.
Visual examples are the best part of your video, you made every thing crystal clear.
Best video on Laundry Room in You tube.
Thank you for watching and the support Komal 🙏🏻☺️
Julie--Stunning examples and great ideas! I'm redoing my laundry room and have a new top loader. (My front loader was a nightmare--I was spending tons of my time cleaning my washing machine!). I noticed that most of the pictures featured front loaders, which do allow for counter space on top. I would love to see more ideas of maximizing space/creating shelves or cabinetry for rooms that have top loading machines. Thank you!
Will add more to the next video Brenda! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts 🙏🏻☺️
Me, too. Hated the front loader and switched back. I didn’t like the washer spitting on my clothes, swaying them like a baby and then having me maintain the thing. I’ve heard from ppl who feel the same and others who love them. Thankfully there are both sold!
Great point on the tile flooring! ♥ Yesterday my sink stopped draining for some reason while machine was running, and suddenly I got a home upgrade in the form of an indoor pool :))))) If the floors were wood, like it was in my previous home, that would have been a nightmare. Now all I need to do is to dry this and check the walls for mold :)
Hopefully the base molding was able to stop the leaks before it seeped into the walls Anna! 🤞🏻 Tile for the win!
I would love to see more in additions, like more rooms added to a smaller older homes. Create functions and open space for today’s look than back then with separate rooms which made the house very non cozy... I want more lights and airy type of vibe... also more patios ideas and how fencing would provide long term care... what is the best out there and what measurement to go with the house ... goodness I have a lot to ask. Love all of your ideas on all of your videos. Thank you for sharing!! ❤️💡🏡
Thank you for watching and all of the wonderful ideas Christina! Taking notes now 🙌🏻☺️
The old, simple top loading washer and dryers are the most efficient and cost effective. Less to break.
Your right. My brand new machines are just not robust with all the plastic buttons and dials.
They use way more water.
@@junehodsdon8037 I'd rather they use marginally more water and work for twenty years than break after five. The environmental cost of producing a new washer and dryer and its components have more of a negative environmental impact.
Thank you for watching and the feedback L! I’ve had my smart washer/dryer for over 6 years now. They’re still going strong (🤞🏻) My mom still has the older models and hers break down all the time. I’m sure it has everything to do with which make/manufacturer. If you don’t mind sharing yours, I’m sure the viewers would love to know to help their decision 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu Gladly, and I'm sure you're right on the manufacturer piece!
They are by no means aesthetically pleasing, but we have the Amana Top-Load Washer and Dryer (less than $1,000 for the pair). Bought in 2013, super budget brand, no issues or complaints so far. We hang dry most of our clothing, so that really saves the dryer, electricity and our clothes!
Thanks as always for your great videos - wishing all of our appliances, long issue free lives! :)
Your presentation was great. I have built an addition for a laundry room and I can't pick colors, textures or wall paper. Thank you for the great tips. I'll keep watching.
It all starts with a fabulous inspiration image to keep you on track BX 🙌🏻
The makerista’s laundry room is my absolute favorite laundry room.
I would love to see a “Common Mistakes” video for outdoor spaces.
Love her space! So chic 😍 I’ll work out an episode for outdoor spaces Shaq! Now is the perfect time 😎
I love all of your series. Greatest teacher ever. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching Melissa 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you so much getting ready to do my laundry I am sure glad I found your videos.
Thank you for watching Bonnie 🙏🏻☺️
So loving your bold interior design style. Your vlogs always inspire me to take a fresh look at those forgotten spaces that haven't gotten the attention they deserve.
The most overused, under-appreciated spaces Sarah! They need our love 🙌🏻😍
Before this video, I didn't even thought a laundry room is a thing! In my area, people put their washers either in the bathroom or in the kitchen. Honestly, I dislike both options. My next living space will definitely have a proper laundry room or at least a dedicated laundry space!!! And I would have to watch this video again, which I'm looking forward already 😀
It’s awesome hearing what other countries and states do with their laundry areas Kamila! I realize my videos may be US-centric at times (apologies in advance), but that’s all I know 😆 thank you for watching 🙏🏻

This is super inspiring, updating our laundry space is a new project we’ve began and this really helped.
Our laundry is also our creepy dark basement. I decided I wanted it to be more than the place we avoid unless we need to wash clothings or store a box!
Definitely prioritize the lighting first Kelley! That will open up so many possibilities for design 👍🏻
Would love your suggestions on a closet laundry room as we don’t have much space
Side by side front loading to gain at least 6ft of countertop space above it. Double height cabinets above to accommodate laundry needs, extra linens, cleaning supplies. Paint or paper in your favorite shades and add curtains on the outside above the closet opening for full access and to hide the ugly 😉 No doors = no obstacles 👏🏻
Some great ideas. I have a small, square laundry room and still trying to figure out how to amp it up.
Color or pattern will do the trick Veronica! 👍🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu Thanks. Just a matter of taking the plunge!
This was super helpful. What about a mudroom and laundry room combo?
Brilliant! And quite honestly, my dream scenario 😍
I just moved in my brand new house and I have a whole space for my laundry room, so perfect timing 😃 I have obviously my 2 beautiful washer and dryer connected to my iPhone. I don’t know how I made it so far without them 😆 I have beautiful tiles on the floor. I am planning to buy a little kitchen so I can have a clean storage. Anyway work in progress.
Thanks Julie and yes a series like this one would be highly appreciated
Take care 💙
Awesome! I’m jealous of your separate room 😍 What kind of washer/dryer do you have Kara? Would love to help the viewers out who are shopping for new appliances 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu yes! New laundry space, new everything 💁🏻♀️ I actually bought both dryer and washer from Samsung. The washer is not less than 10.5 kg so I can’t tell you how much time I save thanks to that with 5 family members. The washer and the dryer are connected with wifi so there is an AI, the dryer knows what kind of program to set according to the washer one. Everything controlled from my iPhone 😀 I am addicted to technology 😂
Anyway I am so happy with my laundry room. The space is not that big ( may be 20 m2, plus there are 3 doors, one to the garage, one to an accent bathroom and one to the basement, but I draw exactly what I need, because you’re right the laundry room design shouldn’t be left behind 😃
I just found you and love your sense of style. I just moved into a 3 level townhouse and I am having a hard time trying to organize and maximize my space, especially the kitchen.
Thank you for watching G! Check out my Dream Space series where I share my process of designing a space from scratch. Then watch my kitchen design mistakes video for more tips! You got this! One space at a time 🙌🏻
Could you show designs with the old school washer and dryer? My repair person told me to never buy the front loader washer and dryer because he said he would be out repairing them. I've stuck with my old school machines with little to no repair and some repairs I made myself. I love the ideas you have shown in this video. I struggle with how to achieve something functional for my old school (not old) washer and dryer set up. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you.
Same tips Mary! I don’t see why you can’t apply the storage and styling tips to your space, regardless of the appliances you have 👍🏻☺️
Great video. Thanks so much! I'm about to start construction on a new laundry closet upstairs (7'' wide)! Got some great ideas. We have side by side machines because we refuse front loading washers. So, I'm looking at basically 2 extra feet to the sides of the machines to work with (and of course above the machines!) and figure out the best use of space. It's across the hall from a bathroom, so I don't think I'll need a slop or pretreat sink. We're going to put a murphy style folding table on the outside side wall of the closet, so folding space is taken care of. I'm thinking some form of dirty clothes containment, whether that's a pull-out lower cabinet that hides the hampers (one for towels, one for clothes!). Love the color choices in the video and keep up the great work!
A hamper station is a great choice or a pull-out drying rack if you need one. I line dry all my delicates (no more dry-cleaning expenses woohoo!) so this is essential for me. Hope that helps!
This is the best video / guide I’ve seen on laundry room design. Wish I could get my building to approve in unit laundry.
You will be a savior to the entire building 🙌🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu Haha, I have been in the past. Thanks.
Being a neat freak, I would definitely want to see and learn more ideas in storage and organisation for my utility closet.🙂
I have a video on utility closets coming soon Veronica! 👍🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu Awesome!!!.....Can't wait
I’m so happy to have subscribed to her channel:) she is smart and gives you so many tips. I have a lot of catching up on her videos.
Thank you for watching! Please let me know if you have any questions when it comes to your design 👍🏻☺️
I’m just about to start on a small laundry room project. I’m so glad I watched your video. So many great ideas 🤗
Fun! Hope the tips help guide your design Gina 👍🏻☺️
I have learned alot. One question, is the dryer better at the top or the washing machine?
Dryer on top since washing machines are heavier due to the water Siben
Another great video, Julie!
I would really appreciate more input for small laundry closets.
Also, I LOVE your lipstick, it looks great on you.
I started working on laundry/utility closets and this video got way too long 😆 I’m breaking it up instead Lanay, laundry closets + utility coming up! 👍🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu YAY! You are too awesome!
What a great video showing some clever ideas and inspiration about laundry rooms. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Eliza 🙏🏻☺️
I just found this chat
And it’s great this will help with my new laundry room we just built thank you 👍
Awesome, hope you find some tips that will help Richard! 🙌🏻
Just found you
What an EXCELLENT video. Many great examples. You’ve got my vote 👍
Thank you so much for watching Sarah 🩷
Juli you have inspired me to style my bland white laundry room? Thank you
That’s awesome 👏🏻 Can’t wait to hear how you jazz it up Sharon!
Just brilliant, thank you Julie 🙏 Eight loads per week doesn’t sound a lot for the three of you!
Ha, then I’m such a whiner! 😆
Very informative. Thanks!
Thank you for watching Asha 🙏🏻☺️
Hey Julie, was wondering what are you thoughts on two color toned kitchen cabinets? White cabinets at the top, and darker cabinets at the bottom and island. And what the floor colors should be with the high contrast of the cabinets. Would love to see a video on color selections for the kitchen!
Do what you love Angel! If you keep saving inspiration images with this look, that’s a clear indication it’s a winner. Pay attention to what people do with the floors to help guide you 👍🏻☺️
Great work Julie.. I have a small laundry room 5’x7’ on floor map of our house. Plz share some clever updated ideas to add ironing boards that can be fold/ hide away
You can simply mount it on the wall and pull down when needed Dua! Check out some of these images again, lots of ways to address this common design element 👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu thanks Julie . You are awesome as you personally reply to so many queries of your viewers.yes , your are right . We are thinking it this way , it’s just that there could be some different ways to choose from . My laundry room is going to share one wall with kitchen . So it’s a must for us to make it look completely organised and classy . What do you suggest for separation :Should we add barn door or swinging doors ( like We don’t have to push or pull them while carrying something ) or leave it open . There will be an exit door to outside on the common wall right between kitchen n laundry room. Thanks
@@JulieKhuu I will request to do one more video n share your thoughts n examples of multifunctionality in laundry room for sewing , ironing etc. This is a lot of spent time at room . Thanks
Hello! My husband and I love your videos. We've been watching all your videos and we are learning a lot! We just recently bought a new house and your videos has been helpful to how we will decorate our new house. My husband is wondering if you can make a video on how to decorate an office. Thank you!
Thank you for watching Chaputs 🙏🏻☺️ I have a few office videos on the channel now, check them out
Youre the best Julie🤗
Thank you for watching Shar 🙏🏻☺️💕
Brilliant video, Julie!!
Thank you for watching Tangela 🙏🏻🩷
You overlooked one key aspect when selecting a new washer & dryer. All the bells and whistles are great but not if you struggle to use them. If you are over 60, placing & removing clothes from a bottom stackable washer can be a back killer. Place it on a pedestal and you need to be 6 foot+ to reach the dryer. Placing them side by side makes the most sense, with pedestals beneath for storage.
Pedestals are definitely more ergonomic, but not if you upper cabinets or shelving that limit the vertical height. Unfortunately that’s what I deal with Deb 🙁
Thanks Julie for this video! I should replace my washer as new n modern ones are now available in the market.
If it’s still working great for you, new appliances may not be a priority Dr. But I do love the bells and whistles ☺️
@@JulieKhuu Me too!😊
Well done. Love your suggestions.
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻
The delay wash setting is my best friend on my washer!
Mine is “add garment” 🙌🏻😁
What a wonderful video, it's very inspiring. I would love to hear your tips and ideas about long narrow hallways.
I love wall sconces Ida! Brings in light without having to address the length of the blank wall space 👍🏻
My favorite room the in house 😍
Do you have any ideas or recommendations on maximizing space of a house with stairs in the middle of the house? I have a long living room area adjacent to the stair in a hallway style there’s an outside door leading to it and I just feel like it’s wasted space in the middle of the house.
Yes, check out my awkward space series, the episode on long and narrow rooms should help you out Ahlam 👍🏻☺️
I don't even have a laundry room. Watching anyway :)
I don’t either, but I do have a laundry closet I can still deck out 👍🏻☺️ Thank you for watching MK! 🙏🏻
Julie, I wish I can keep my recent bought washer and dryer. 😞 Unfortunately, it broke down on me twice within a month. Good thing I held onto my old, very old washer and dryer (still work after 12 yrs). If you have any suggestions/ or luck with which brand of washer and dryer, please lmk!
I have a GE (no issues, in my 6th yr 🤞🏻), I hear LG is awesome and quite affordable. What make/model was your set and what was the recurring issue? Would love to know and maybe help another viewer who is reading this?
Would you please do a video mixing different furniture styles.? I have inherited vintage pieces and I am not sure how or what to mix.😊
I love this idea CC! Going to queue it up 👍🏻☺️
How do you suggest hiding electrical panels, water tanks, and other industrial piping and wires if the space is shared with the laundry and can’t be dry walled? (For access)
Do you suggest relocating the laundry room entirely?
I have this exact condition and simply live with it Gina. My laundry area is hidden behind curtains so at least I have some covering
Julie! These videos are the best! I live in AZ and it’s common to have a laundry room outside. We’re going to be attaching it to the home soon. It will be “attached” to the kitchen thru a small hallway (about 3’ X 3’) and a pocket door with small windows on the door, I think. You say have some fun with the laundry room. Is it ok to do something totally different color wise in the laundry room if you’ll be able to see it through the kitchen or should they stay cohesive? I don’t want it to be too crazy but if I can get away with a little crazy I’ll do it! Thanks for all the videos! I love them!
Get crazy Ashley! Here’s your chance! That peekaboo window will pique everyone’s interest 👍🏻😍
I was hoping to see a design around a tried & true top loader (like our Speed Queen). We the new front loaders & they just don’t clean the same.
Apply the same design solutions and skip the first tip Luly! 🙌🏻😉
My husband & I tried. But, we’re hopeless🤦🏻♀️ Actively searching for a designer now to fix our mistakes. Unfortunately had a bad experience on Houzz. Guy took a consulting fee & disappeared.
I need to dye fabric so need a top loading washer with the ability to fill the water to an adequate level. That feature is only available on older models long before all these water saving features. I'm praying that my machine doesn't die anytime soon. A friend has been through 3 new machines in the last 10 years or so and hates them all. Says they don’t clean well because they are so stingy with the water that she must wash some loads several times. Not much energy savings if you ask me.
Love this angle Jay and you’re absolutely right. When I used to DIY dye my fabrics, I did it in my parents’ top loading washer! I forgot all about that! Clearly, this is conditional, but that’s a good point too.
I just replaced my smart washer- the drum collapsed and it cost more to service than buy a new one. I’m on year 10. I have no qualms about the new upgrade. It served me well. When it’s time, it’s time.
Loved this!! Its a shame we can't share pics here for you to see how much my 2x2 room improved with your advices . Thank you so much 😍
That’s amazing Marvin! Music to my ears, thank you for supporting the channel 🙏🏻😊
Nice tips, thanks a lot, like your ideas.

Gorgeous laundry rooms and really good advice. I saved your video in my design folder and will get back to it when I decorate my own laundry room.

@@JulieKhuu thank you very much.... you're insight will be much appreciated ♥️🙂
Great design video. I also love your personal style of clothing, I am always looking at that too, wondering where can I get that top. lol
Thank you for watching Becky! I link most of my looks on my style blog. The ones without links are usually thrifted or vintage (like this jacket ☺️)
I want to store my laundry detergent etc. in bottles other than what I purchased them in. I put the detergent and softener in a glass bottle with a rubber seal. I also put my bleach in the same type of container, but it seems to be eating the rubber, and my bleach is turning black. What would be a good alternative, as I don't want to use the plastic container it was bought in.
Try a glass vessel with a clear silicone stopper Dawn.
What a treat! I’m about to redo our laundry room in a few days! Thanks for this👏🏼
Awesome! Can’t wait to hear all about it Badet! 🙌🏻☺️
I always love watching your videos!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
13:01 yes please! A video on washroom closets. My soon-to-be new apartment has a water heater directly above the dryer on one side & a shelf directly above the washing machine. Awkward space for storage. 🥴
I’m making a series on storage and organization soon that will include utility closets Jae! Stay tuned 🙏🏻☺️

we don't really have laundry rooms in Europe. the washer and dryer are either in the bathroom or garage
Mine is in a tiny closet between the dining room and a hallway. You may still implement some tips for style and storage Barre 👍🏻☺️
Do you have any suggestions for an open floor plan kitchen with a top load washer and dryer? It's all in one and not a lot of square footage.
My aunt grandaunt had a toilet in her laundryroom. It seems me weird. 🥵🥵 What do you think ??
Having the same cabinets, colors, and countertops surrounding the washer/dryer will help it blend in seamlessly with the kitchen. I would relegate the appliances to one far and of the kitchen away from the stove/ cooktop/ fridge as best you can to keep the dust away. Closest to the sink so both zones can access this necessity 👍
I noted down so many ideas from this video, thank you! I am actually excited about designing my laundry room. Any ideas on storage and organization for the laundry closets would be more than welcome!
That’s the best part! When you’re ready to apply all those design ideas and see them come to fruition, how exciting! 🙌🏻☺️
No smart washer and dryer for me. Mine are less than 3 years old and do not get my laundry clean. Give me a standard top load Speed Queen washer any day. I live with horses, dogs, cats and a less than tidy husband. I need heavy duty, not smart.
Agree. The only smart thing i have is my phone.
Agree.
Especially when it comes to a dryer. I don't understand what makes a new smart dryer worth $1000+ 😳
We bought a new washing machine, but went to a scratch-and-dent place for the dryer.
Do what works for you and your lifestyle always Mary! 👍🏻☺️
Speed Queens are a BIFL (Buy It for Life) staple - great choice if it's in your budget!
Just get a separate room for your utility room get 2 washers and dryer’s.
Put a mud room / pet washer in it as well . Have it by garage and kitchen
Wish we all had that space!
Great inspiration ... I do have a basic question. When choosing stackable appliances does washer go on top or bottom or does it not matter which way around ?
Isabel,the washer goes on bottom for 2 reasons. Water doesn’t naturally flow up therefore reducing water pressure and washers have a tendency to get off balance and vibrate which could cause it to vibrate off the dryer. If the washer and dryer are not made to stack you can buy shock absorbers to put under the legs. I did this and have not had a problem. Hope this is helpful😊
@@sherry9568 very helpful thanks Sherry! Definitely makes sense so appreciate you explaining the why of it
What Sherry said 👍🏻☺️ Thank you Sherry!
Hello Julie~
So very pleased I found you! Your content is beyond helpful; so much depth. I have learned invaluable lessons from all your content! My husband and I are slowly working through a whole house remodel... circa 1964! Our laundry is in the garage. If possible, a video addressing this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
This is common spot for the laundry area Dina! I would definitely implement the same tips and use wallpaper or color to create a designated zone. Laundry cabinets would help to define where you start and stop the finished treatment. Will try to find more illustrations for a future video 👍🏻☺️
Great information! Would you put tiles on the laundry. room wall above the laundry tub? I have it painted and debating to tile the whole area. Any suggestions. Thanks
You mean a tiled backsplash? Yes, if water will reach that height of the wall Dolly 👍🏻
Thank you for this brilliant vid with great ideas!
Thank you for watching Shaza 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you again for yet another great video! My question may be too vague, but I’d love your input. I am moving into a much smaller space and am considering switching to a compact washer & dryer. The thing is, I just bought the set I have now, last year and I really like them a lot. They are stackable, but have a difference in dimensions of 4” in both height and width, with about the same amount of depth as the new compact pair I’m looking at. In your opinion, is that a noticeable amount of space and worth considering swapping out? Thank you, for your time and your hard work making these videos.
If you’re bothered by it, have the budget for it, that’s all that matters Eileen. It’s kinda like Botox. There’s no authority on when you should take the plunge 😂
Thanks Julie so much! You've done another great inspiring video & laundry room is one that's most forgotten. I just adore your channel ❤
Thank you for watching BIL ☺️🙏🏻
