Your basement laundry room feel like a prison?
The average person spends six hours a week to wash clothes. This is the equivalent of 13 days of nothing but his underwear! No wonder there is a trend toward improved laundry.
While the upper floor laundry room is becoming the standard, many people still trudge to the basement to get the job done. But you can wash more fun (or at least less miserable) are, if you respect the space and shapeFunction.
Let's first address of the function part of the equation. What activities do you need to achieve in this space? The order in which these tasks are completed? Here is a list of your brain to get started:
