You’ve been in a relationship with your home for quite a while. It’s comfortable and you love it. You really do. But there comes a time in every relationship, no matter how strong, when in a moment of honesty, you realize, “It’s become a little boring and predictable.” Worse yet, you may find yourself staring at your neighbors’ home interior a little too long and too often.”

Introducing a little fun into your laundry room can make the chore of washing, drying, and folding (or pretending to fold) a little less painful. Here’s why it’s worth the effort:

Simply changing the color scheme in a room can transform its entire atmosphere, shifting how we feel, behave, and even how much time we want to spend in that space. Here's how a well-thought-out color change can completely refresh a room, making it feel brand new.
