Laundry Rooms That Work Better And Look Better Doing It

Small laundry rooms are exactly where custom design earns its value. A standard off-the-shelf setup wastes a surprising amount of usable space. A custom laundry room remodel can stack storage vertically, tuck in a fold-down ironing board, build a folding counter above front-loaders, and use every inch of wall and corner space that a standard layout ignores. Marie Frenkel designs around the real dimensions of your room, so a small space can become genuinely efficient without feeling cramped.

A custom laundry room remodel can include upper and lower cabinetry, open shelving, a built-in folding counter, hanging rods for air-dry items, pull-out hamper drawers, a utility sink with surrounding storage, a dedicated ironing station, detergent and supply cubbies, and a spot for cleaning tools. Every feature is laid out based on how your household actually does laundry, from sorting through folding and putting away.

Yes, and this is one of the most practical combinations for homes in Mahopac, Carmel, and surrounding Putnam County communities where families come in from yards, sports, and outdoor activities. A combined laundry and mudroom design typically incorporates bench seating, coat hooks, cubbies or lockers for each family member, boot storage, and a utility sink alongside the washer and dryer setup.

Laundry rooms deal with moisture, detergent drips, and heavy daily use, so material selection matters more than in spaces that see lighter traffic. DreamStyle sources cabinetry finishes, countertop materials, and flooring that are durable enough to handle that environment without sacrificing style. The goal is a space that looks as considered as the rest of the home while standing up to the wear that comes with daily use.

Both. A laundry closet with a stacked washer and dryer can be significantly improved with custom shelving, a pull-out hamper, and a fold-down counter built into the door or the wall above the machines. DreamStyle also handles full laundry room remodels with cabinetry, countertops, sinks, and complete storage systems. The approach is the same regardless of size: design around what the space actually needs to do. If you are also looking to improve a nearby closet or pantry, those can be handled as part of the same project.

It starts with a free consultation where Marie Frenkel visits or discusses your space, listens to what is not working, and assesses the dimensions and layout. From there she develops a custom design plan with material recommendations and a detailed cost estimate. Once approved, the project moves into installation with Marie overseeing every step.

Most laundry room remodeling projects are completed faster than homeowners expect, since the scope is typically more contained than a full kitchen or bathroom renovation. A focused update with new cabinetry, countertop, and organizational features can often be completed within a few weeks. DreamStyle provides a specific timeline at the start of every project so you know exactly when to expect each phase to begin and end. Contact us to discuss your project and get a realistic timeline for your space.
