CLEAN LIVING

Fresh from this issue’s featured homes, these three laundry rooms will inspire you to wash and fold.

A heavy-duty laundry room was a must for this house in Osterville, Massachusetts, where there might be fifteen summer guests on any given weekend. “This room needed to be a workhorse, so there are two washers and two dryers,” says designer Liz Caan, who focused on classic, durable materials including subway tile walls, soapstone countertops, and penny tile flooring. “It’s fun to tile the entire room,” she says. “The space feels simple and industrial with the black, white, and touch of blue. And the brass faucet makes it a little luxe.”—Alyssa
