The days of the bare bulb in a dark basement have passed. Today’s buyers value light-filled, stylish spaces to make a dreaded chore a lot more fun.
Consider these popular features when designing or renovating your space:
- Natural light and attractive lighting
- Proximity to closets/dressing areas or mud rooms
- Extras like a built-in dog wash, flower arranging station, or gift wrapping area
- Raised washer and dryer
- Closed storage to conceal laundry must-haves
- Appealing wallpapers or tile to add personality
No time to update your laundry room before selling? Consider staging it by…
- A fresh coat of paint in a popular neutral
- Updating lighting with bright, warm-toned bulbs
- Adding additional lighting like a table lamp
- Relocating detergent bottles and other supplies to a less visible location
- Adding art or a rug
One final tip- make sure your washer or dryer is not running for showings, ensuring a peaceful tour for potential buyers.
