The primary function of a laundry room is to provide a separate space in which you can clean and dry all your clothing, linens and bedding, without intruding into the rest of your home. And while it’s an infinitely useful space, it can also be a room that generates a lot of noise, mainly from the big bulky machines that clean and dry our clothes.
So as well as having a laundry room that is well organized and easy to use, it’s also important that the space operates as quietly as possible, especially if it’s close to bedrooms, or social spaces like your kitchen. Interior designer Kristina Phillips, of Kristina Phillips Interior Design, says ‘having a laundry room close to your living or sleeping areas is great for convenience, but can sometimes be loud – especially when there are bulky items in the dryer. But to reduce the rattle, there are luckily a few things that a homeowner can do.’
