Here are some of the laundry room trends that will make your laundry room achieve peak functionality along with a stylish and eye-catching design. ## 1. (Nearly) indestructible quartz countertops Each year, the team at *Consumer Reports* puts a range of countertop materials to the test. In addition to looks (or perhaps, even more important than looks), they compare how countertops hold up to heat, impact, scratches, stain-able ingredients, chipping and cracking, etc. This year, they named quartz their [#1 countertop choice for kitchens](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/consumer-reports-summary-on-countertop-materials) - and all the reasons they cited means this is the #1 countertop material choice for laundry rooms, too. When you think of all the laundry detergent, bleach, cleaning products etc., that might leak, spill, accumulate and/or collect on laundry room surfaces - you’ll be glad you chose quartz. ## 2. Any color goes This is a great time to remodel kitchens and baths because it feels like just about any color goes. While some laundry room designers swear by all-white designs or timeless design tenets similar to those chosen for the kitchen, we find the laundry room ([like the powder room](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/design-tips-for-a-powder-room-remodel)) is a great space for choosing “outside your typical box,” using bold, fun colors or patterns you might shy away from in more public rooms in the house. ## 3. The laundry room island If you have a larger laundry room space, you have the ability to consider workflow, similar to the way you did for your kitchen. If the space is large enough, consider installing a laundry room island that can be used for folding, drying sweaters and delicate garments flat, pet grooming and sewing and mending projects. With a little more forethought in design and storage, the laundry room island can also serve as a craft or homework station. ## ![Pet Friendly](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC_0385.jpg?width=300&name=DSC_0385.jpg)4. Make it pet friendly Speaking of pet grooming, many homeowners consider their laundry room a mud room, and [incorporate pet-friendly spaces](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/chicago-home-remodeling-keeping-your-pet-in-mind-when-you-remodel) and surfaces that accommodate everything from storage spaces for food, toys and grooming tools, ground-level washing stations (also handy for muddy children or feet/hands fresh from the garden), sleeping cubbies, feeding stations and so on. ## 5. Optimized storage All of the same [innovative storage tips and tricks](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/kitchen-storage-options-when-you-dont-have-many-wall-cabinets) that apply to kitchens translate well for laundry rooms. Instead of a pull-out pantry, you may prefer a pull-out drying rack and ironing board. Cabinets, shelves and drawers can all be customized to accommodate the items you store in your laundry room/mud room, from laundry-relevant cleaning products and boxes of fabric softener sheets to household cleaning solutions, brooms/mops/dust pans, [hidden electrical outlets](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/chicago-kitchen-remodeling-4-common-design-mistakes-avoid) for charging cord-free vacuums and so on. You may even find you prefer to design a household gadget charging station here, rather than in more accessible locations, using the out-of-sight, out-of-mind idea during dinner, homework and sleepy times.
