D E S I G N + B U I L D Four simple ways to upgrade your laundry room BrandPointContent.com edited by YourVilla Staff There are options to make your existing laundry room more functional without having to tackle any renovations. Consider how these changes could make your laundry space more comfortable, convenient and easy to use: Add storage space If you’re constantly juggling detergents and ineffectively trying to separate your dirty and clean laundry, try installing utilitarian shelving and/or cabinetry that provide bigger, better storage. Through smart design, you may be able to incorporate good-sized laundry bins, racks for hanging wet clothes and/or countertops that can hold your folded laundry before it’s put away. Reconfigure your washer and dryer Could a vertically stacked washer and dryer make your laundry processes easier and more efficient? LG Electronics’ sleek single-unit LG WashTower takes up half the floor space in your laundry room while tackling ultra-large loads. Upgrade your lighting Get rid of dim lighting that makes it hard to spot stains and sort laundry with brighter, more attractive lighting that makes the room more appealing and functional. Recessed fluorescent or LED troffers and flush-mount fixtures may help preserve your ceiling space. Aim for the equivalent of 75 watts of light for a comfortable but pleasingly bright effect. Consider fold-out options If you lack the room to incorporate more storage, another option may be smartly designed tables and/or an ironing board that can fold right into the walls when they’re not in use. 30 | YourVilla Magazine Premier Custom Work at Affordable Prices Contact Us Today for FREE On-Site Consultations and Measurements (951) 734-1491 www.CustomDraperies.net Come Visit Our New Showroom: 6686 Van Buren Blvd Riverside, CA 92503 • Custom Draperies • Cornices • Valances • Roman & Roller Shades • Woven Wood • Shutters • Bedding • Pillows • Interior Design • Upholstery Designer Window Treatments Since 1979 Call for a phone or in-home estimate FireplaceDoorGuy.com 951-757-2696 FIREPLACE REMODELS & CUSTOM FIREPLACE DOORS Any custom fireplace door or fireplace remodel Not valid with other offers or prior purchases.
