Creating a Dream Laundry Room

Many Anchorage homeowners continue to invest in their homes to make them more functional, enjoyable and valuable. Desire for a better home is particularly widespread among Alaskans who are working part-time or full-time from home.  Our showroom has received increasing demand for more efficient, effective and beautiful kitchens, baths, entryways, mudrooms, and laundry rooms among other spaces in a home.
There are several keys to creating a dream laundry room space.  One is having sufficient space.  A minimum of 80 square feet is necessary if homeowners in Alaska want a laundry space that features storage cabinets, a sink, washer and dryer and room to maneuver.  We can help you create the space you need to make your laundry area the envy of the neighborhood.  Including a deep countertop can be achieved by specifying front loading instead of top loading washers and dryers. A countertop, at least 24 inches in depth, is valued by homeowners in Anchorage because it provides adequate space for a laundry basket to sit on top and to sort and fold clothing. Another option to create space is to specify an appliance that both washes and dries or to opt for a stackable unit. Â
Many of the conveniences that make a kitchen more functional and enjoyable to use can be applied to laundry spaces.  Pull out hampers provide a convenient and hidden space to deposit clothes that need to be washed.  Drying racks in the laundry space are another welcomed feature of a well-designed laundry.  When possible we specify drying racks above a heat vent. Â
Many Alaska homeowners welcome the idea of including a closet in their laundry facility that they can use to store brooms, vacuums, ironing boards, mops and other cleaning supplies and equipment.  We often recommend including a power outlet in storage closets that can be used to recharge vacuums and other equipment.
If you want to create a laundry space that will provide the performance and convenience that your family wants and needs and can greatly enhance the value of your home, please call us at (907) 561-9299 or make an appointment to visit our showroom at 122 W. 92nd Ave. in Anchorage, and let us show you how to create a space that makes doing laundry a pleasure.

Are Two Better Than One?
Homeowners in Alaska almost always opt for two separate sinks when renovating their primary bath. That makes a lot of sense given the fact that most everyone is extremely busy, and on most days more than one person will need access to their primary bath vanity at the same time. However, double sinks may not be the best option for all bathrooms, especially those where space is at a premium. What’s best for your dream bath?
