When it comes to interior design porn, laundry rooms have a knack for stealing the show.

If design were a beauty pageant, laundry rooms would be the talent portion of the evening. Sure, you can twirl around in a bikini, parade onstage in an evening gown, and provide impressively informed and amazingly succinct responses to hard-hitting political wringers, but can you transform a room whose original purpose is pure functionality into an oasis of clean?

Do you have the patience to put forth as much effort into choosing cabinetry paint colors as you would in a kitchen? Do you have the capacity to envision a role for gorgeous tiles as much as you would in a bathroom? Do you have the flair to propose light fixtures as statement-making as those you’d lobby for would for an entryway?

Are you committed to supporting the underbelly of the household, to go beyond facilitating the processes, but to encourage them? Do you care?? Are you something special enough to wear the crown? Or are you just another sash-wearing, gummy-smile in a sea of teeth?

Anyhow, here’s a few laundry rooms I’m drooling over. RSVP to join me.
