This past week I’ve been a busy beaver working on the new laundry room design. I’m very happy to report it is all finished and ready to take on a heavy load! I’m so excited to share it with you, but first I wanted to talk about the colors I used in this new space.
As I shared in my Laundry Room mood board I was going to be using the Voice of Color 2105 Color of the Year- Blue Paisley. This bold blue is everywhere right now, I knew I just had to incorporate this punch of color into the scheme.
This blue really set the stage for the laundry room. I had seen so many pairings of Blue Paisley in bohemian color schemes I wanted to add in other bright accents to compliment it.
I first came across this little rug at the Home Depot . It had all the colors I imagined using to accent the wall color I chose. The little pot of faux ranunculus were the perfect pop of color, and no water necessary, my kind of plant!
I searched high and low for a piece of art work to incorporate and tie everything together, but after a long search with no luck, I created this watercolour artwork. I added in hints of blue paisley, and a bright Va Va Voom yellow frame.
I loved the burst of coral orange in the flowers so much I painted my sock crate a stunning shade. (If you follow along on social media, this crate was responsible for my thumb incident last week, yeowza!).
The cupboards are a bit more on a serious note in a stunning deep grey. I was able to take one of the pre-finished cabinet doors into the Voice of Color Kiosk and have them color match so I could finish the trim work to flow seamlessly.
I was worried about having an accurate sheen to match the doors, but my paint guy suggested using a Matte paint. I was shocked, because I thought flat paints were only for ceilings and wouldn’t stand up to any wear and tear. However, Pittsburg Paints Matte Ceramic WallHide provides a low-sheen finish with great stain release and washability. I love how it looks next to the cabinets, it really made in-stock cabinets look like custom. The walls were painted with Manor Hall Interior Eggshell.
Blue Paisley PPG252-6, Beachcomber 353-1, Va Va Voom PPG1238-6, Coral Silk PPG1210-6, Kenny’s Kiss PPG 135-6
I love the bold colors in this color scheme.

I don’t use bright colors as I’m always scared of the end result. Your sneak peeks look amazing!!
Wow, I would have never thought to use these colours together but they look great!
Looks like a bright and fun place to tackle a never-ending chore! Glad your thumb is mending- ouch!
Excited to see the results. No, I never use color. I’m a big, boring chicken.
Oh my – these colours are delicious! I can’t wait to see the finished room (and I hope your thumb is feeling OK today)! Your watercolour painting is also brilliant!
