How to Make Overlooked Spaces Like Laundry Rooms Shine for Staging

When staging a home to put its best foot forward, we tend to focus on main living spaces like kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms. But overlooked utilitarian rooms like the laundry room also deserve attention.

Though buyers don’t expect lavish finishes in functional spaces, poor laundry rooms can negatively impact perceptions of the entire home. Some quick upgrades can make a big difference:

Lighting: Ensure the room has adequate overhead lighting. Add task lighting over the folding area for visibility. Dimmer switches create flexibility.

Organisation: Neatly arranging laundry supplies, equipment, and other items makes the space feel clean. Hide any visible wiring.

Paint: A fresh coat of paint in a light color makes the room feel bright and airy. Consider moisture-resistant paint.

Flooring: Replace stained carpeting with tile or vinyl flooring that’s durable and easy to keep clean.

Cabinets: Affordable cabinet updates provide concealed storage for supplies and clutter.

Artwork: Incorporate subtle wall art, a decorative shelf or basket for visual interest.

The laundry room may not seem important, but leaving it dingy and disorganized affects the overall home impression. With smart upgrades, you can transform this forgotten space into an asset.
