Laundry room storage improved by adding floating shelves and an accent wall with peel-and-stick wallpaper.
I have a confession to make: When I first toured my apartment, I did not look behind the bathroom door. Rookie move - I know. I was enamored by the large bedroom and ample closet space that I didn't have in my previous apartment. And, to be frank, the offer was too good to refuse. So I signed the lease and moved in shortly thereafter.
If you're drawn to the 'vintage meets modern day' style, Jordan Slocum and Barry Bordelon-the social media renovation duo known as the Brownstone Boys -are the experts to watch. Known for breathing new life into vintage brownstones, the duo partnered with WallPops to launch a collection of peel-and-stick wallpapers inspired by New York City's rich architectural and design history. The new collection includes 11 designs across 5 distinctive patterns, each one telling a visual story of urban life, personal nostalgia, and timeless elegance.
It's true that laundry rooms aren't necessarily known for being massive, but the one in Melissa Meares' (@melissaashleymeares) house had an especially tricky narrow setup; it's 8×5 feet. "The layout of the laundry room is very awkward with the water heater in the middle," Melissa adds. She and her husband, Kyle, hid the water heater in the back corner and gave the wire shelves in the room a glow-up by adding cabinetry.
