Take a look!
1. Bring a Calming Feel
A laundry room is all about making things clean and fresh, and its appearance should echo that.
Opt for a light and bright color palette using soft colors and wallpaper with a subtle print. This laundry room’s gray and white color palette adds visual interest without being overwhelming.
2. Contrast Your White Interior
Even though you can use paint to create color contrast, wallpaper provides a distinctive way to contrast white laundry room decor through shape, pattern, and color.
The soft pink fruity-inspired patterned wallpaper contrasts nicely with the solid white elements, instantly attracting attention. The woven baskets give the space some texture while adding some natural color.
3. Incorporate Stylish Details
While you want your wallpaper to be the focal point, adding tiny, thoughtful details will elevate the paper and the whole laundry room.
Adding an artistic element, like the nature-inspired window treatment in this design, and matching it with the cabinets’ color will create a uniform design.
4. Keep It Neutral
A neutral palette is an excellent option for turning your laundry room into a calming space.
Go for a wallpaper with a subtle pattern and soft tones, then pick a coordinating pattern for the trim and cabinets for a visually restful tone-on-tone look. Incorporating wooden elements is an excellent way of adding color and an organic feel.
5. Be Bold with a Mural Design
If laundry isn’t your favorite activity, you can use a playful wallpaper design to add a little whimsy.
A laundry room’s informal nature provides an opportunity for a large-scale fun wallpaper, like the one in this design, that brings a wow factor. The small pet bathtub’s blue tile backsplash matches the wallpaper and completes the look.
6. Keep it Flowing
Add a modern touch to your laundry room with continuous wallpaper for all your walls.
The repeated pattern adds a decorative feature while helping break up the solid cabinetry. The vining plant atop the cabinet and wooden platform on the washing machines continue this contemporary theme.
7. Go the Traditional Way
A traditional block print wallpaper evokes timeless elegance and classic charm. Its repetitive design and small-scale pattern give it a traditional look and feel.
Pull one of the colors from your wallpaper and use it on your window treatments for a cohesive look. The shaker-style cabinetry plays up the design even further.
8. Connect Your Multi-Purpose Space
Some laundry rooms are multi-functional spaces, doubling as mudrooms or craft rooms.
Going for a neutral wallpaper whose color palette and aesthetic encapsulates the space’s activities will remove any predisposition that the room was an imposition or afterthought.
9. Overload Your Walls
You don’t need to keep away from wallpaper with a busy pattern. Choose solid finishes and clean lines for the rest of your laundry room’s design elements to make the wallpaper the focal point.
Here, the soft blue nature-inspired wallpaper provides a backdrop for solid white cabinets, accents, and wooden shelves.
10. Stick with the Classics
Colorful and serene, this double-duty laundry room is clean and crisp with a fun, repeating floral wallpaper dressing its walls.
If you have the budget and space, the two sets of dryers and washers can save you a lot of time in your daily laundry chores. Built-in shelves above the machines and open cabinets beside them provide ample storage.
11. Create the Illusion of Space
A cool hack for adding depth to your walls and making your space look larger is bringing the wallpaper all the way up to the ceiling.
Most laundry rooms are usually cramped and poorly lit, and colorful wallpaper is an excellent design element to brighten them up and make them feel larger.
12. Use Wallpaper as the Backsplash
To enhance the allure of this sage green laundry room, a classic floral wallpaper serves as the backsplash, adding soft hues to the design.
The wallpaper blends in perfectly with the floral planter and contrasts with the sage green, giving the laundry room a timeless appeal.
13. Add an Accent Wall
An accent wall is an excellent way of creating a focal point in your laundry room and saving up some costs on paint.
The wallpaper in this room matches the walls’ paint, creating an intentional and integrated look. The dog portrait elevates the dog-inspired wallpaper even further.
14. Focus on the Trim
Create contrast in your laundry room using a mid to dark-toned paint color on the trim.
Choose one of the colors from the wallpaper for a cohesive look, using one of the bright shades for a sense of drama and depth. Create an extra immersive feel in your space by using this color on the cabinets as well.
15. Spruce Up Your Laundry Room
Just because space isn’t at a premium, it doesn’t mean you can’t add style to your laundry room.
Elevate your small space with a colorful wallpaper that covers all nooks and crannies. This laundry room’s white and gray decor contrasts with the green wallpaper for a seamless, minimalist look.
16. Highlight Your Storage
Using wallpaper can transform your laundry room’s functional storage shelves into a beautiful decorative feature.
Here, the red and white floral wallpaper creates a pretty backdrop for the all-white shelves and cleaning appliances.
17. Mix it Up
Combining your wallpaper with other contemporary elements, like the geometric tiles in this design, guarantees your home will always stay in style.
The gray cabinets complement the tile flooring and bring the whole design together.
18. Go for Moody and Dark Hues
Moody and dark interiors are excellent for small spaces such as laundry rooms.
This moody floral wallpaper sets the tone with its vintage-inspired look, while a similar deep color on the cabinets and trim amp up the design. Wooden countertops bring a contrasting color and natural feel to the setup.
19. Pull it All Together
Similar to using a rug in your living spaces, you can use wallpaper to unify disparate elements in your laundry room’s design.
Lively blooms paper the walls of this laundry room, with a similar print being used on under-countertop storage drapery to unify the look. The bright green cabinets stand out in the space without taking too much focus away from the wallpaper.
20. White and Blue Always
You can never go wrong with a white and blue color palette in your laundry room since it’s synonymous with an airy, clean, and fresh aesthetic.
Pair crisp white cabinets, countertops, appliances, and trim with blue and white wallpaper for a timeless and elegant laundry room like the one in the above example.
21. Contrast with Wood
Make a dramatic statement and contrast a vibrant wallpaper with dark wood decor.
Since wood tones are a timeless neutral, this design idea will completely transform your space, and you can adopt the look in a modern or traditional interior.
22. Bring a Soft Feel
Soften your laundry room with a color scheme consisting of muted and soft neutrals.
While white and blue is a popular color palette for most laundry rooms, pairing these warm tones will infuse your room with playful energy, creating a cheerful yet stylish look. This also provides just enough contrast for white elements to stand out.
23. Opt for a Minimalistic Look
Enhance your minimalist laundry space with a wallpaper accent wall.
Choose streamlined hardware, cabinets, and accessories, and complement them with a subtle wallpaper that stylishly and calmly brings a pop of color and pattern.
24. Make Use of Wainscoting
If you want to decorate your laundry room with wallpaper while staying on a budget, use decorative wall paneling and start from there.
Install paneling on the lower half or third of the walls and use wallpaper on the top portion, ensuring you match one color on both design elements. This will save you some money while adding a layer of visual interest.
25. Try a Bold Design
If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to experiment with a bold wallpaper pattern, a small space like a bathroom or laundry room is perfect to try it out.
You can close off the room so as not to deviate from the rest of your home’s aesthetic. Using a dramatic wallpaper, like the animal print in this design, in a utilitarian space such as a laundry room brings an extraordinary touch that makes an intriguing statement.
26. Go Big with a Floral Wallpaper
If you think floral wallpaper is only used on outdated interiors, think again.
Numerous floral wallpaper designs are available on the market, from traditional block print wallpapers to bold, massive florals, like the one in this design, and you can use them to bring a contemporary sensibility.
