Top Laundry Room Wall Ideas
While your laundry room may not be on display quite as much as the rest of your home, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t look put together! Even if it’s a space reserved only for you, wall art can be a form of self-care. Hang a piece of trendy typography to really pack a punch.
Laundry Room Décor Ideas: Pro Tips
ElephantStock's interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares her tips for blending practicality with style:
“Form and functionality shouldn’t be regarded as two separate concepts when designing. Keep accessories simple, few, and well-chosen. Highlight wide, open spaces without visual obstacles. Evenly distribute décor and consider improving your storage. Prioritize the accessibility of drawers and easy access to the essentials. Think flat-front cabinetry and low-profile solutions.”

Laundry Room Décor Ideas: Pro Tips
If you’re leaning towards a multi-panel print, follow our pro tips for hanging multi-panel artwork below:
* Width: for all layouts, we recommend leaving 1" space between each panel when hung, for the best airy but tied-together look! If the gap is too big or too small, you'd lose the effect of the split canvas.
* Height: the height of the rest of the panels depends on the layout you selected. Some layouts are symmetrical, and some layouts resemble a wave and feature different heights. In general, be consistent! For example, if you hung the left panel 3" lower than the middle panel, be sure to hang the right panel in the same proportion. Use your ruler and pencil to measure the right height!

Laundry Room Décor Ideas: Sizes
When it comes to sizing, we’ve outlined a foolproof equation to make sure you choose the right dimensions for your space:
- ON AN EMPTY WALL
Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.
For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5-foot width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 feet - 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.
- ABOVE FURNITURE
Wall art that you want to hang over furniture, such as a fireplace, a bed or a couch, should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture's width. To measure the ideal art size above your furniture, consider this example: If your couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. You need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively above the couch.

Trendy Wall Art & Décor Styles
Modern wall art is perfect for any laundry room. Give your laundry room a contemporary touch with a print that pops. Even if your laundry space is more traditional, a piece of modern wall art can give it a current edge.
Laundry Room Décor Ideas: Pro Tips
Décor pro Elimar Lobo Sáenz expands on the modern art trend:
“Always consider abstract or contemporary art. Whether you want to create a balance of edgy and elegant, or you want to lean into the urban-glam trend, there’s something special about contemporary art. The inherent mystery that lies behind an abstract painting is eye-catching and attention-grabbing.”

The Best Colors for Laundry Décor
Because your laundry room isn’t a highly visible space, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to your color palette. Your hues of choice are completely up to you. Resident expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz suggests starting with a neutral base to allow for even more colorful possibilities:
“Starting with a neutral color scheme will allow you to customize your space as you (and your family’s) tastes and interests change. You can incorporate the ‘color of the moment,’ and swap out your accent shade as trends change.”
Gray Wall Art
If you’re stumped on what color wall art to choose, you can’t go wrong with gray! The color gray will match anything, so even if you’re not done decorating your interior, you can ensure that your wall art will work.
