As a homeowner, you spend so much time designing and decorating the different rooms in your house, obsessing over every detail, and highlighting the focal points - except for the foyer, the guest bathroom, and the laundry room. Most homeowners leave these rooms out of their plans to redesign because they serve unimportant or minor purposes in the big scheme of things. Honing in on the details of these three rooms (or areas) will make all the difference in tying together the design elements of your home as well as give it a truly luxurious feel.
1. The foyer - Your own entryway does not need high ceilings to feel as elegant as the foyer in the photo below. One way to give your foyer the look of gorgeous high ceilings is to paint your walls darker than the ceiling. A light-colored ceiling draws the eye upward and creates a lengthening effect. Try painting your walls a medium shade, such as teal, and your ceiling in a complementary color such as cream. Another way to lush-ify your foyer is to invest in an inexpensive light fixture, and match other hardware or details in your entryway to it. The key is to use a color darker than your walls that is still complimentary. For example, you could try a bronze or black-rimmed luminary and paint the rail on your banister the same shade. Adding a few bronze or black picture frames to your walls will tie everything together beautifully!
2. The guest bathroom - Guest bathrooms are usually overlooked when redesigning because they are typically small and aren't used every day. However, the right touches will ensure that your guest bathroom is used much more often! The key to creating the feel of a luxurious bathroom is to invest in a new mirror that has a distinctively different shape and sparkling details. Let the new mirror become the focal point in your bathroom, like the one shown below. Another tip to make the cramped space feel larger is to keep the walls light and the cabinetry dark. The combination of light-colored walls and rich, dark cabinetry draws the eye upward yet again, making your guest bathroom feel like one in a hotel.
3. The laundry room - Laundry rooms tend to be one of the most frustrating rooms in the house, often because they are either small or not set up well. Chances are, your laundry room has all the space you need to get your work done and can be rearranged to open up the maximum amount of space. Paintung the walls a light, clean color opens up the room and emits a fresh, relaxing feel. Try setting your washing machine and dryer on the floor and building a simple flat shelf over it (this is where your husband comes in!) to create space for sorting and folding. Placing a few inexpensive shelves above your workspace will clear your flat shelf of anything that could get in the way of folding, such as detergent. Buying a few inexpensive, pretty baskets can be used to add a decorative touch as well as keep all your materials in order. Finally, placing a metal shower curtain rod between two walls gives you room to hang up the clothes that need to be hung immediately after leaving the dryer.
