This combination draws on grandmillennial's signature elements—chintz florals and skirted furniture—to transform your laundry room into a space that's both beautiful and functional.
Why Grandmillennial Works for Laundry Rooms
Grandmillennial can work well in a laundry room when you balance the style's core elements with the room's functional needs. Focus on chintz florals while ensuring the space still serves its purpose: laundry rooms handle washing, drying, folding, ironing, and garment storage. they should support efficient laundry workflow while containing the mess and supplies associated with laundry tasks. Select materials like Chintz fabric or Wicker and rattan that can handle the demands of this room.
When designing a grandmillennial laundry room, consider limited space for machines and tasks. Grandmillennial design typically addresses this through skirted furniture. Also keep in mind the room's bright task lighting over machines and counter and laundry detergent and supplies when selecting furniture and finishes.
