Designing or renovating your laundry room? Whether you love doing laundry (yes, some people do!) or it’s just a chore you get through, these features will elevate your space and make your laundry routine a breeze. Here are six laundry room features that will seriously knock your socks off!
1. Recessed Dryer Vent (No More Smashed Dryer Duct!)
Ever had that moment where you push your dryer back against the wall, only to realize you’ve crushed the vent hose? A recessed dryer vent allows your dryer to sit flush against the wall without damaging the duct. No more awkward gaps, and it keeps everything looking neat and tidy. Bonus: it helps improve airflow, which means your dryer works more efficiently. It’s a win-win.
2. Dog Washing Station
Let’s be honest—washing your pup in the bathtub is a backbreaker. Having a designated spot to clean your furry friend makes bathtime less messy and way more convenient. It’s a total game-changer if you live in a wet area. Not to mention, you can use it to rinse off dirty shoes, mop heads, or even gardening tools. It’s a versatile and practical addition to your home.

3. Laundry Jet
Ever dreamt of sending your laundry to the laundry room with just the push of a button? A laundry jet allows you to send dirty clothes from any room straight to the laundry through a vacuum-powered tube system. Forget carrying overflowing hampers down the hall—now you can deliver laundry like a pro, without lifting a finger. It’s futuristic, and let’s face it, pretty fun!

4. Laundry Chute … with a Built-in Landing Zone
Laundry chutes have been a great option for homes with multiple floors for decades, but why stop there? Add a built-in landing zone to catch clothes as they come flying down the chute. No more piles of laundry hitting the floor or getting lost behind your dryer. A dedicated space for laundry drop-off keeps everything organized and contained, making the transition from laundry pile to washing machine even smoother.

5. Robot Vacuum Cubby
We love a good multi-tasker, and the laundry room is no exception. Why not give your robot vacuum a home of its own with a custom cubby? It’s the perfect hideaway for your Roborock (or any other robot vacuum) and keeps it out of sight when it’s not in use. When it’s time to get to work, it’s already in the room that could probably use the most vacuuming—right where all those dust bunnies love to hide.
6. Litter Box Cubby
If you’ve got cats, you know the struggle of finding the right spot for the litter box. The laundry room might just be the perfect solution, especially if you can create a designated cubby for it. A litter box cubby keeps things discreet and out of sight, plus it gives your cats some privacy while they do their business. It’s easy to clean, tucked away, and keeps your laundry room smelling fresh. What’s not to love?
With these six features, you can transform any boring laundry space into one that’s efficient, stylish, and even a little fun. Looking for more new home build ideas?
