11 enchanting ideas for decorating the laundry corner with a vintage touch

Having a corner dedicated to laundry at home is a huge convenience. It means being able to save time and effort when doing laundry, and maybe even getting better results because you don't have to go all over the house picking up clothes, pre-treating them, washing them, drying them or hanging them out. It is undeniable that, when it comes to choosing the machinery and accessories necessary to guarantee the success of doing the laundry, the most advanced and efficient models are preferred. However, this does not mean that the laundry corner must have an ultra-modern look.

If you want a vintage, even rustic, touch in this area in the house, you can do it by paying attention to many different details, such as those indicated below:

Arranging a washing machine and dryer below a large work surface creates one of the most common and useful arrangements for laundry corners. However, if you want to give a vintage look to this space, then a shelf could be made of wood, perhaps even an old rail sleeper.

The easiest way to add a vintage touch to rooms is to decorate them with signs, especially wooden ones. For instance, they could be signs that indicate how to sort the laundry.

And staying with signs, what would be better than a reclaimed wood sign that advertises the purpose of the room to everyone? Even wooden boxes in which to arrange the various types of laundry, before or after being washed or ironed, are a perfect furnishing accessory in these contexts.

Cladding the walls with white slats, and adding antique-looking lamps or chandeliers: an impeccable combination for those who want to create a rustic vintage style, but with a modern feel.

Chalkboard paint can also be put to good use on some wooden surfaces in the laundry room.

If you manage to find accessories for fabric care and laundry management (brushes, scissors, basins, etc) that have a vintage look, then having them in plain sight will add to the effect.

Wooden pegs for hanging up clothes are a must in the laundry corner, and could also inspire unique wall decorations.

So don't hesitate to look for photos and prints that give an old-fashioned look to your laundry corner.

Attention to detail is essential: no modern packaging, but containers with "vintage" materials. Jars, baskets and more will should be made of glass, metal, tin, wood, rope and similar.

When you have space to allocate an entire room to the laundry, then surely there will also be a very useful sink. If you really wanted to make everything feel vintage and rustic, why not a concrete sink?

Hanging up dried flowers, using wooden furniture, putting prints on the walls: you can use a thousand tricks to get the look you want.
