Style Guide: Vintage Laundry Room Decor Ideas

Storage Ideas That Also Decorate a Laundry Room

A lot of the functional things in a laundry room can be doubled as vintage decor pieces. For example, storage containers play a role in the room’s decor. Some containers that work well for a vintage styled room include porcelain enamel metal bowls as seen in picture (2), wire baskets (3), wicker baskets with a vintage patterned fabric or lace lining (4), and glass jars or bottles.

Vintage style fabric can also be used to create a slip cover for the ironing board or to create laundry bags as seen in picture (5). Then there vintage clothing pegs which look amazing (6), as well as a vintage styled hook rack (7).

Furniture and Lighting Ideas

When it comes to furniture pieces like a table, shabby chic wooden furniture with that weathered painted look work best. If you are fitting a sink into the laundry room, a porcelain one will look great – like the one in picture (8). Also in picture 8 you can see a barn light hanging over the sink, a go to style choice (barn lighting) if you are installing light fixtures.
