Rustic laundry room: 10 ideas to take inspiration from

Anyone who furnishes a house in a rustic or country/farmhouse style will certainly be a lover of traditional American homesteads.

These homesteads tend to be bright but have a deliberately rustic style, characterized by the extensive use of light colors (white), wood, decorative objects in copper and wrought or galvanized iron, wicker, straw and tiles decorated in a specific way.

Even a laundry area/room can be styled like this. And if you are keen to do this, check out some of the ideas below:

Using Majolica tiles, painted wood and wicker is one way to create a rustic style in the laundry.

The prominance of white and raw wood, combined with the use of small iconically rustic objects, can make the difference - even in a tiny and cramped laundry.

For a very small space, choosing white can add light and depth. For a rustic feel, a few wicker items, paintings objects typical of this style can be used.

Instead of wood or wicker, white can be used on metal objects and other details (preferably typical of the rustic style).

In addition to white, majolica tiles on the floor can give a very small room the impression of greater depth, order and symmetry.

When the wood dominates all the other details, a rustic effect is guaranteed. However, be careful not to overdo it, to avoid creating a "log cabin" effect, which is not what we are describing here.

For a built-in, "hideable" laundry room that helps use gain space, a beautiful wooden sliding door will certainly give the rest of the environment the extra rustic touch that will be appreciated.

Often, the laundry space is paired witht he bathroom. In this case, with wood and wicker as the main furnishing finishes, the final effect can be truly extraordinary and tasteful.

A wall clad with white, industrial-style tiles is yet another way of creating a rustic-feeling laundry room.

Finally, adding a white ceramic sink or the characteristic glass tanks and dispensers for various soaps and detergents, will complete the rustic look you are going for.
