Scandinavian magazine Allt I Hemmet recently featured this laundry room, submitted by one of their readers. Far from exciting, Anna-Lena’s space was devoid of color and personality, not to mention cramped. With Allt I Hemmet’s help, the laundry room got a good cleaning itself, and came out on the other side with a sparkling new personality.

A washing machine with integrated dryer made a big difference in the space department, as did a new curtain for hiding extra stuff underneath the countertop. When you add in the fresh coat of paint, topped with a bright pink stripe, the laundry room now says fresh and functional.

What do you think? Like the difference?
