At our San Bernardo project in Scottsdale, we remodeled the kitchen, laundry room, and main living area. We also replaced the flooring throughout to create a cohesive feel. This kitchen was previously half the size, with the laundry room taking up most of the space. We pushed this area into a different & took advantage of the new larger space with an island that has lots of storage and seating for three. On the back wall, we used a composite farmhouse sink, and incorporated a pull-out trash. We located the refrigerator on the far-right wall & flanked it with two large pantry cabinets. These have rollouts for easy access to everything. Next, we have the bar area. This is a fun space that continues the subway herringbone backsplash we have throughout the rest of the kitchen. Our client requested we include a beverage fridge in this space for easy access when making drinks. We also added glass & lighting to these upper cabinets to showcase decorative glassware and bottles. To connect the kitchen to the living & dining room, we created a cutout in the wall across from the island. This gave us the opportunity to add more storage and additional seating. For contrast throughout the space, we incorporated touches of black. The hardware on the white shaker cabinets are black, as well as the plumbing fixtures and island pendants. Our client was also looking for a pop of color, so we selected an accent island. This blue stain compliments the veining in the quartz countertops which have a slight blue tint. For added interest, we used gold hardware on the island. To tie it all together, our client selected a large format stone look tile that goes throughout the entire home.

Versa Style Design

The clients wanted to add a powder room to the main floor. We suggested integrating it in a pre-existing laundry room that was disorganized with a lot of wasted space. We designed the new space with chic bifold doors to close of the washer-dryer, optimised the storage to organise it, and added a gorgeous wall-mounted vanity and toilet. The grey subway tile is a classic choice and yet the whole space feels fresh, modern and on trend. This is now a cute multifunctional space. It is welcoming and very organized! Materials used: A modern wall-mounted white matte lacquer vanity, matte solid-surface counter, porcelain vessel sink, round black iron mirror with shelf, solid-core bi-fold doors that hide away the washer-dryer, 12 x 24 Grey porcelain floor tile, 3 x 8 artisanal charcoal grey subway wall tile, white tile grout, black Riobel plumbing and accessories, Industrial-style ceiling light and wall sconce, Sherwin Williams paint

Nemo Tile + Stone

Nemo's Glacier 12×24 porcelain floor tile in Anthracite perfectly complements the dark island countertop. Being a big fan of subway tile, the couple didn’t hesitate when choosing Nemo’s popular 3×12 Cape Cod Ceramic Wall Tile in Eastham Gloss for the backsplash. Bringing together the white and charcoal color palette, the homeowners added a mosaic accent to the backsplash over the range with Nemo's Nambrone Mattone Mosaic, picking up on a little bit of every color throughout the space.

The gray subway tile and hexagon tile floor add texture and visual interest to the room. Overall, the Harlow's laundry room is designed to make laundry chores more efficient and enjoyable.

Laundry Room Design Ideas with Subway Tile Splashback and Grey Floor

Laundry designs seldom receive the attention they deserve, especially considering how often they’re used. A well-planned laundry, complete with built-in cabinets, a laundry sink, washing machine and clothes dryer, can serve many needs. It can help simplify your household chores; store drying clothes and cleaning products; and can even provide a spot for you to groom pets. Because of its hardworking, multipurpose potential, a laundry renovation is a worthwhile investment. Smart laundry designs have layouts that save you time and effort. For example, a washing machine and clothes dryer should be positioned next to one another or stacked, and laundry baskets and hampers should be within easy reach; while an ironing board should be stowed by a power point. Ample storage, bench space for laundry baskets and practical lighting are also essential.

How do I add storage to my laundry?

A combination of storage solutions is key to running an efficient laundry. Include shelves above or beside the washing machine to store washing detergent, softener and other cleaning products; and laundry bins for dirty clothes. Consider a custom-built cupboard for an ironing board, so it can easily fold out when you need it, or mount the ironing board directly to the wall or on the back of a door. A retractable clothesline is a handy addition to dry delicate clothes, while a clothes hanger mounted to the wall is ideal for hanging freshly pressed shirts.

What else can I use my laundry for?

Multipurpose laundry rooms or utility rooms can help save valuable space in your home. The laundry sink can be used to bathe your furry friends; your laundry cupboard can store sports equipment, gardening tools and umbrellas; and a spare nook can be filled with a desk and chair to create an office space while you wait for your load to finish. If your laundry is at the front of the house, consider using it as a drop station for mail, mobile phones and keys. Include a bench seat or stool, wall-mounted hooks for bags and a coat stand and it can even be used as a place to get the kids organised before you walk out the front door.

How can I decorate my laundry?

Laundries are usually filled to the brim with appliances and storage, so take advantage of your walls when decorating and use cheery paint colours or wallpaper to make doing the chores more pleasant! Fun signs, posters, murals and wall decals will also add character to the space. Think of your storage as decor, too – look for bins and baskets with decorative touches, and use brightly-coloured or patterned hangers.
