What’s your laundry room looking like right now? Chances are it could use some TLC. And by that, we mean some cute, fun decor to make doing laundry a bit less dreadful.

The laundry room is the one space in our home that many of us neglect to decorate, because it’s small, doesn’t get much foot traction, or we simply never thought of it. But if you think about it more, sprucing up your laundry room could make the task more enjoyable.

Here are some laundry room decor ideas to help you bring this practical space from drab to fab.

Colorful wallpaper

Your laundry room doesn’t have to be this dull, dark room in the basement that you despise being in. Even if your laundry room isn’t in the basement, we bet it could use some brightening up. Why not add some color to the space? 

There are plenty of simple peel-and-stick wallpaper brands with many different patterns and colors to choose from. You can cover all the walls, an accent wall, or only add a block of wallpaper right behind your washer and dryer. Even a small pop of colorful wallpaper could do wonders for your laundry room. 

Shaggy rug

What’s more fun than a shaggy rug, so soft under your toes while you load and unload your laundry machine? Find the plushest rug to fit in your laundry room and we’re sure it’ll send the good vibes way up in there.

Decorative mirrors

Another laundry room decor idea we love is hanging up some decorative mirrors. If you have a blank wall that you don’t know what to do with, this is a great solution. You can either get one big mirror or a few small ones. Either way, mirrors can make small spaces seem larger, so this could be a decor game changer.

Faux plants

Adding some faux plants to your laundry room is the move and here’s why: We love plants in any room, but taking care of a real one could be tricky if it’s tucked away in the laundry room. Yet you can still get that earthy atmosphere in your laundry room by using fake ones.

We specifically recommend faux succulents placed on shelves or faux vines hung across a wall, from the ceiling, or even in the doorway.

Corner shelving

Mix up the storage in your laundry room with some corner shelves. Whether this is a single floating corner shelf or a tall corner shelving unit, this decor technique can work great to use every inch of this small space.

So we ask: Why not make the chore of laundry a bit more fun with some exciting decor? These five laundry room decor ideas can help you turn this tiny, boring space into a place you actually don’t mind sneaking away to every now and then.

From classic orange pumpkins placed neatly on the front steps to a simple and minimally designed fall wreath, there are several ways you can spruce up your fall door decor. If you’re struggling to find the right look for your space, we have some amazing autumn design ideas for your front door that are classic, nontraditional, trendy, and modern, so you can choose what you like best.
You can’t go wrong with the classics

As you begin curating a gorgeous fall front door aesthetic, you may want to peruse some of the classic looks to gain some style inspo.
Layer up your natural fall decor
A fall front door look wouldn’t be complete without natural autumn decor. Dried corn stalks, pumpkins in every shape and size, gourds, straw bales, bright autumnal flowers, and fall foliage are all examples of what you can use to create the right aesthetic. Frame your door with fall leaves and corn stalks. Layer straw bales on the porch and steps, sprinkled with pumpkins and gourds.
Perfect your fall wreath
A fall wreath on the front door is a simple yet efficient way to celebrate the season. This decor addition can be fun to DIY, or you can purchase a premade fall wreath from your local craft or home goods store. For a classic look, go with a wreath featuring fall foliage, pine cones, miniature pumpkins, or twigs. If you prefer a classy or more modern look, stick with metallic wreaths, twig-woven wreaths, or something with a more subtle, neutral color palette.
Add some plaid
Plaid is perhaps the most classic pattern used in fall textiles. Add some plaid to your front door space by layering your welcome mats or tossing a few throw pillows or blankets onto a porch swing to invite the plaid pattern to your space. You might also consider purchasing plaid-patterned faux pumpkins to add to your front steps lineup.
Fall flowers are great in warmer climates
If you live in a warmer climate, take advantage of the hotter fall days by adding a few potted fall flowers to your front door space. Be sure to use pots in various sizes, colors, and shapes to create a varied effect.
