Designer Kelley McNamara creates a stylish laundry room that's full of character without breaking the bank.

“I wanted a place where I would enjoy doing laundry, but at the same time, it had to be functional,” says Fort Langley, B.C.-based designer Kelley McNamara. To create order, she settled on lower cabinets with deep drawers instead of shelves to maximize space and provide easy access to oft-used items like detergents and stain removers.

To lend her laundry room country character without breaking the bank, the designer opted for inexpensive white and grey porcelain floor tiles set in a checkered pattern. This helped justify her decision to splurge on handmade glazed terracotta backsplash tiles, which add interesting texture to the space – especially when the light shines in through the nearby window.

A patterned linen Roman shade injects subtle personality into the room. Other thoughtful accents, such as elegant corbels, sturdy baskets and glass apothecary jars, elevate the classic farmhouse look further.

When you have two children who play sports, unwashed items tend to pile up quickly. The solution? A rolling laundry sorter. “We each have our own bag, and the kids know to throw their clothes in once they’re done playing,” says Kelley. “It works perfectly!”
