Need a laundry room makeover? Start with colorful appliances

Let’s face it, 2020 has put pressure on us all to reexamine our living spaces. Sometimes we like what we see and other times, well, we don’t.

If you’re lucky enough to have an eye for redecorating, you may relish this opportunity to put your talents on display. But, if you’re a more tentative refurbisher, a good rule of thumb is to start with a small space, like a powder room, and let your confidence build before tackling, say, thekitchenor master bedroom.

Or, why not launch a laundry room makeover? This historically lowly and underappreciated space isjust as deserving of a facelift就像您家中的其他房间一样 - 鉴于我们许多人（不幸的是）在其中花费的时间更多。

A laundry expert at Samsung says, “We are moving toward a new era of interior design. Now, instead of hiding appliances away, they are becoming part of our furniture.”

Add a bold color and have fun

家具和电器之间的界限不仅变得越来越模糊，而且消费者都希望像洗衣房一样个性化诸如洗衣房的空间。

GE Eppliances的高级品牌传播专家惠特尼·韦尔奇（Whitney Welch）解释说，这就是为什么GE电器推出了新的原因UltraFresh front-load washer和dryer in Satin Nickel and Sapphire Blue matte finishes.”

当然，对于更传统的外观，白色电器仍然很受欢迎，但毫无疑问，它们受到了挑战。

Sarah Fishburne，趋势与设计总监The Home Depot，说：“消费者正在寻找将欢乐融合到自己家中的方法。色彩鲜艳的电器为任何房间增添了立即的活力，从而完全改变了能量，而无需进行精心制作的翻新项目。”

Such laundry rooms are lightyears away from the dark, musty, basement corners of laundry’s yesteryear. Fishburne says that red, blue, and other brightly colored appliances can make doing a task like laundry fun.

Jay Ponte, store manager at Doyon’s Modern Home in Bedford, Massachusetts, feels the same way.

“Adding color to a laundry room gives you an area you can feel proud of. We’re seeing laundry areas full of light, bright colors, fine cabinetry and storage solutions,” he says.

室内设计师克里斯蒂娜·克雷斯汀（Kristina Crestin）最近与HGTV合作，他分享说：“人们正在像小珠宝盒一样对待洗衣房。”克雷斯汀说，这是一个空间 - 通常是房屋泥房的兼职，客人可能会看到这样的空间。花钱，您可以玩一些乐趣。”

Comforting colors can be high-end

当涉及到洗衣room makeovers, red and blue washers and dryers may still be a stretch for the taste and style of some homeowners.

But, if you’re curious about appliances that aren’t white, there are some great alternatives worth considering.

三星的洗衣专家说：“我们的champagne finishblends perfectly with a variety of color palettes and textures like natural woods, thick-grained marble and tile patterns that complement today’s trends.”

Caroline Harmon,Lowe’s战略经理同意，三星在香槟的洗衣对（一种时尚，缎面色调）非常适合“希望个性化空间并通过电器介绍颜色的客户”。

伊莱克斯的钛饰面提供类似的外观。

Colors that comfort embrace current lifestyle trends, especially when it comes to millennials. And, from a design professional’s point of view, there are valid reasons to consider one of these new, deep-toned finishes.

克雷斯汀说：“例如，如果您在洗衣房中绘制所有装饰，则不希望白色的洗衣机和烘干机跳出来。这就是黑暗，不锈钢，木炭或黑色的地方，因为它不会像拇指酸痛那样脱颖而出。”

Harmon adds, “These tones are likely to match existing cabinets and flooring, while providing a more high-end and polished look.”

TheLG Washtower, where all the laundry controls are located in the center of the sleek, single unit washer and dryer in black stainless, demonstrates this look.
