We don’t often put too much thought into beautifying these busy spaces but regardless of whether your washing machine and dryer are tucked away in a small nook or large mudroom it’s a spot we have no choice but to spend time in! Why not add a little eye candy? Here are a few artful ideas which are sure to add a little character to your laundry area.
