Doing laundry doesn't have to be a chore. Well okay, it doesn't have to be as much of a chore. Not if you turn the most underutilized room in your house and snaz it up a bit. Just think how much more pleasurable it would be if instead of cold concrete floors, unfinished ceilings and an industrial sink you had carpet, furniture, lighting and hey, why not, a small entertainment centre.

Don't laugh. More and more homeowners are turning their laundry rooms into a place where they can spend time with their kids, play on the floor with toys, read a book and yes, even do laundry.

Of course, a couple of tips on the proper way to get through your piles of clothes don't hurt either.

So look around – you'll be amazed by what you can find in our Laundry Room.
