    This countdown of the top new laundry rooms uploaded to Houzz so far in 2026 highlights how thoughtful design can elevate one of the home’s hardest-working spaces. Across a range of styles and layouts, these rooms combine smart storage, durable materials and efficient planning with color, pattern and personality. Explore the lineup for ideas on maximizing function while bringing fresh style to wash routines.

     

    10. Bold, Refined Red

    Cabinetry in a rich, sun-dried tomato red brings bold, tailored energy to this contemporary Houston laundry room by Flair Builders. The space features two sets of washers and dryers to keep loads moving without a bottleneck. On the right, a hardworking island has a generous folding surface and a base fitted with open drawers that double as convenient air-drying racks.

     

    9. Tailored English Style

    Set in the English town of Camberley, this laundry room by Higham Furniture draws on its pastoral surroundings with a soft, nature-inspired palette. Sage green cabinetry paired with antique brass hardware establishes a classic look, while wicker baskets and hampers introduce layered texture. Stacked appliances free up space for a sink, a drying rod and a practical folding counter, balancing charm with function.

    8. Composed Design Elements

    Pattern, paneling and refined millwork define this transitional Sunnyvale, California, laundry room by Baron Construction and Remodeling. A diamond-patterned floor, tongue-and-groove paneling and thin-rail Shaker-style cabinetry create a composed, tailored look. Function is prioritized with a sink, a drying rod and ample storage.

    7. Relaxed Farmhouse

    The Scandinavian farmhouse-inspired style of this West Bend, Wisconsin, lake house by Highland Builders carries through to the laundry room in the form of patterned wallpaper, a wood countertop and a woven shade. A wall-mounted drying rack tucks neatly against the wall when not in use, and a hamper on casters offers easy mobility throughout the space.

    6. Polished Utility

    Located in a coastal town in New South Wales, Australia, this laundry room by Lynda MacDonald Interior Design delivers kitchen-level polish with slatted navy cabinetry, a crosshatch-patterned gray tile backsplash, warm wood accents and large-format floor tile. The space is equally hardworking, featuring a pullout drying rack that disappears into the cabinetry when not in use, along with a sink, a long drying rod, ample storage and generous counter space.

     

    5. Big and Bold Botanicals

    Oversize floral wallpaper energizes this Traverse City, Michigan, laundry room by Kitchen Choreography. Hardworking cabinetry handles the utility side of the space with open cubbies for laundry baskets, plus drawers, cabinets and ample countertop and hanging space. An open shelving unit introduces display space for books and decor, helping the room feel as styled as it is functional

    4. Laundry in a Garden

    This Naples, Florida, laundry room by Daso Custom Cabinetry leans into a garden-inspired aesthetic with floral wallpaper, leafy green paint and flower-shaped ceiling lights. The layout is centered around a top-loading washer, with floating shelves above the appliances and a convenient countertop for folding beside them.

    3. Vintage Flair

    Tile wainscoting, leafy wallpaper, brass accents and a patterned Roman shade create a polished, traditional look in this Mercer Island, Washington, laundry room. Q Design Studio layered in high-functioning elements, including a wall-mounted vintage sink, a rolling hamper, abundant cabinetry and a long drying rod.

    2. Stylishly Stacked

    By stacking handsome navy appliances in this Larchmont, New York, laundry room, JWH Design and Cabinetry created space for a drying rod and an L-shaped countertop with an integrated sink. Crisp white cabinets brighten the palette and contrast with the navy appliances, while a warm wood floor grounds the design.

    1. Built for Pets

    This multifunctional entryway in Sacramento, California, serves as a mudroom, laundry room and pet-grooming zone. Design Shop Interiors incorporated a dedicated pet-washing station for easy, ergonomic bathing, while a farmhouse-inspired brick floor stands up to wet paws and everyday use.

  • The 10 Most Popular New Laundry Rooms Right Now

    This countdown of the 10 most-saved new laundry rooms on Houzz shows that even the most functional spaces can be stylish and uplifting. Check out the clever layouts, soothing colors and smart storage for thoughtful design ideas on turning a chore into a moment of calm and satisfaction.

     

    10. Neat Nook

    Nestled into an alcove, this laundry area saves space without sacrificing utility or good looks. Design firm Paige Lee Interiors in Michigan set a countertop across the top of the units so it can hold baskets or be a base for folding clothes. A rod for air drying is tucked between two cabinets, which are closed to keep detergents and other items out of sight. An open shelf allows for decor, while a patterned floor with a bit of blue injects energy into the crisp black-and-white palette.

     

    9. Tasteful Traditional

    Glossy white brick set at slightly varying depths manages to look both old-world and completely fresh in this traditional laundry room in the Washington, D.C., area. Loial Home also went “updated traditional” with the dark star-and-cross tile flooring. As for practical features, the space includes a drying rod, a generous counter with rolling baskets underneath and plenty of closed storage. And anyone doing hand-washing in the sink won’t feel closed in, thanks to a nearby window with a view of greenery.

     

    8. View Master

    Katie Severns Design used woven cabinet fronts and glossy handmade-looking tile with subtle variations to give this San Francisco laundry room organic flair. But the clean lines, unobtrusive hardware and neutral palette convey a modern sensibility too. Copious cabinets keep unsightly elements off the spacious countertop. Note how the black washer and dryer draw the eye toward the black-frame door and its outdoor view instead of toward the room’s workaday interior. A rug helps pick up any dirt that might make its way in from the outside world.

     

    7. Row With the Flow

    Stacking the washer and dryer in this narrow laundry room allowed Sustainable Nine Design + Build to pack in a shelving unit along the side. The space, in a Minneapolis row house, also has closed upper and lower cabinets and baskets perched on an open shelf, to give every product a tucked-away place. A drying rod and sink round out the convenience features, while the palette relies on soft neutrals for ease on the eyes. As in the previous example, however, a striking black window frame cleverly pulls the gaze outdoors.

     

    6. Checking All the Boxes

    Grid-style lines help break up the plentiful white cabinetry in this New South Wales, Australia, laundry room by Horton & Co., but just enough to create interest and not interrupt any chore-time daydreaming. The flooring design has boxes of its own and contributes grounding stone-like colors, while small wall tiles in various beige and brown tones add a complementary touch and give the eye another place to land. A drying rod, a spacious countertop and open shelves with decor complete the picture.

     

    5. Glow for It

    Soft gray cabinetry and wall tile in varying shades of cream and beige give this Dallas laundry room by Jessica Koltun Home a soothing yet uplifting feel. Even the checkerboard floor is toned down from the traditional crisp black-and-white version. Washed in natural light, the space almost seems to glow from within. Gold-tone cup pulls and knobs add polish and shine, while an apron-front sink and its polished vintage-style faucet bring both a countrified feel and an aura of refinement.

     

    4. Purple Reign

    Eschewing a light and airy color palette in favor of deep purple cabinets, walls and millwork, April Gahagan of FS Design Group gave this laundry area a rich, layered look. Because the space, brought to life by Judd Builders in North Carolina, also serves as a side foyer, mudroom and pantry — a high-traffic area, in other words — the designer carefully balanced aesthetics with practicality. For instance, dragonfly wallpaper has been placed higher up, above sturdier wainscoting, to keep it out of harm’s way. And the flooring is durable brick, given an elevated look thanks to varying shades and a herringbone pattern.

     

    3. Cottage Chic

    Thoughtful storage meets farmhouse freshness in this Georgia laundry room. The space was designed by Megan Bolz of MB Designs and built by MDH Design & Build, which uses Houzz Pro to manage its business. The room has drawers conveniently placed next to the stacked washer and dryer, cabinets for detergent jugs and other large items, and a tall cabinet with an outlet for keeping cleaning appliances at the ready. Baskets under the counter can keep lights and darks or dirty and clean clothes separate. An extra-long sink offers plenty of room for soaking and rinsing. And the whole space is drenched in a soothing creamy white with a few contrasting elements for interest.

     

    2. Hardworking Hub

    The pretty blue-gray cabinet color and fun travel-celebrating wallpaper might catch the eye first, but Surrina Plemons Interiors and Laurel McAteer of Studio Haven Interiors incorporated more than immediately meets the eye in this basement-level San Francisco Bay Area laundry room. A laundry chute is hiding in those tall cabinets on the right, a full-size refrigerator and freezer (not seen) sit to the left of the sink, and a wine fridge has a home next to the sink.

     

    1. Natural Beauty

    Earthy green cabinets (Evergreen Fog by Sherwin-Williams) bring nature into this North Carolina laundry room by Susanne Ordonez of House of Maevie. But the space is far from untamed, with elegant hardware, beadboard-clad walls and white oak open shelves holding artwork and accoutrements. A built-in hamper offers convenience, while a stool can double as a waist-high basket perch or a place for resting between cycles.
