"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."
""Instead of redoing the tile, we decided to just paint it using the Rust-Oleum floor coat," Melissa says. "We've used it throughout our house with great success!" The couple used a black base coat and a matte top coat. Using peel-and-stick wallpaper was a DIY "first." And her design advice when it comes to picking paint and wallpaper is "slow and steady wins the race - and saves you money in the long run.""
A narrow 8×5-foot laundry room contained a water heater positioned centrally, creating an awkward layout. The homeowners relocated the water heater to a back corner and replaced wire shelving with new cabinetry to add storage. Walls and floors received a paint makeover; floors were coated with Rust-Oleum floor coat using a black base coat and a matte top coat. Peel-and-stick wallpaper served as a first-time DIY choice. Design advice recommended testing paint and wallpaper together and proceeding slowly to save money. Cabinet installation required careful leveling with shims and a few screws. Termite damage and a leaking pipe were discovered during shelf removal, requiring additional demo and repairs.
