The average family with children does 300 loads of laundry per year, according to professional cleaner Molly Maid, and most laundry rooms are used once a week. Make this chore more pleasant and improve efficiency by creating a space that’s attractive and organized specifically for the task.

If it’s been decades since your last laundry room remodel—replacing the washer and dryer don’t count—or if the room has never been properly finished, you’re probably overdue for an update. It can be as simple as installing new lighting, or even just the right bulbs (as close to CRI 100 or “sunlight” as possible), to brighten up the task and make stains easier to see and pre-treat.
