We believe that, like any household chore, laundry can be more palatable—even enjoyable—in a space that’s beautiful, hardworking, and designed specifically for the task. Enter laundry room essentials by Rejuvenation, designed to inspire efficiency and organization. With a few key elements—lighting, utilitarian fixtures, and layered, smart storage options—you can create a laundry space that’s orderly and—dare we say it—inspiring, whether you’re lucky enough to have a large, dedicated space or just a tiny closet.
Here’s how.
1. Start with overhead lighting.
Above: We’re all familiar with the dark, dimly lit basement laundry room, but it’s time to bring your laundry space into the light. Add overhead lighting in the form of a flush or semi flush-mount for even, bright illumination of the whole space. This keeps your light source up and out of the way of workspaces—and allows you to see what you’re doing.This well-ordered laundry space is lit with a row of Crawford 10” Flush Mount lights in aged brass ($269 each)—equal parts practical and high-style.
2. Add hooks.
Above: A well-placed hook or hook rack is a simple addition that makes a big difference, keeping clutter off of surfaces and floors, storing essentials within easy reach, and adding an element of display, too. Use one or a few of Rejuvenation’s wide range of offerings to organize brushes, cotton bags of clothespins, and other laundry essentials.We like the midcentury-inspired Brendon Farrell 6-Fin Hook Rack shown here for an easy utilitarian update.
3. Hide the piles with bins and baskets.
Above: Bins and baskets large and small are an easy way to keep the laundry room looking neat and organized: Piles of laundry, wool dryer balls, and other tough-to-corral realities are at once tucked away and easy to access. We are longtime fans of industrial-inspired Steele Canvas laundry bins, functional and perfect for both laundry and storage and on offer from Rejuvenation; this one is the Steele Canvas Laundry System in Double ($330).4. Install a rod or rail system.
Above: Shelves, rods, and rail systems are space-efficient while keeping oft-reached-for items organized. Rejuvenation’s shelving is designed to be customized: Select shelves and brackets to match your space and choose from multiple depths, woods, and finish options with optional undermount hooks. Or, select a customizable rod set or rail system like the 36” Brookside Rail System, shown here in aged brass ($245), to hold important odds and ends. On the counter are a pair of white Canisters with Wood Lids (from $19 each), also available in black, pale blue, and indigo. Above: Brass cups and hooks store all sorts of laundry must-haves.5. Don’t forget good-looking hardware and fixtures.
Above: Your laundry room is a hardworking space, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be design-forward—you’ll be spending time here each week, after all. Rejuvenation’s utilitarian plumbing and hardware fixtures are utilitarian, high-quality, and stylish. Add a solid brass faucet to elevate the laundry sink, or choose solid brass cabinet hardware in matching finishes.Shown is the Sutton Single-Hole Kitchen Prep Faucet ($1,599), the Triple Utility Hook ($52), and Ladd Drawer Pulls ($40), all in aged brass. A black Larder Crock, inspired by French ironstone preserving jars, adds concealed storage on the counter (from $79 each).
