Vintage Laundry Room Decor

October 31, 2019~ Decor, Laundry Room, one room challenge

We’re rounding the corner of this One Room Challenge, and I think it’s safe to say that we’re essentially done! I’ve just got a few more finishing touches, but the space is complete and now I’m just fluffing. 

Check out the plans for the combined laundry & mudroom 

Make sure you go check out the link-up with all the other linking participants in this edition of the ORC, and check out what the official ones are up to. I’ve got more than a few friends participating this time around, and I’m so excited to see what they get up to.

* Hudson Valley Lighting sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

Vintage Laundry Room Decor

I’ve been trying to find the guiding style for this space since we finished the main elements. I wasn’t sure if a retro laundry room would work as the go-between for the retro glam kitchen and the glam powder room, but once I started styling the space, I eventually found the style we’d go with – a vintage feel, that’s still retro.

My biggest inspirations for interiors and DIYs are Kate Space & Wes Anderson – this is no mystery. What I love the most about them is how they marry vintage, retro, eclectic and colourful styles together. I like to think I’ve got my own spin on it, and this vintage laundry room is the perfect example.

Vintage Laundry Room Wall Decor

Because this space has to be supremely functional, there isn’t much room for silly decor or overly cluttered floor space, so everything that is traditionally me, has to go on the walls! Hence the vintage laundry room wall decor.

Vintage pennants

I think my biggest nod to Wes Anderson’s creative musings (Rushmore? anyone?) are the vintage colourful pennants. I thrifted these bad boys, and am very pleased by the pop of colour they bring to the space.

Vintage laundry room lighting

Which brings us to the next decorative element in this space – the vintage laundry room lighting. These wall sconces from Hudson Valley Lighting are quite simply amazing. 

The SIGNATURE NO.1 MDS601-WH from the Mark D. Sikes Collection is clean, simple, and doesn’t distract. I tend to chose stand-out pieces, but there definitely something to be said for a fixture that feels like it fits in – instead of dominating.

I added the bows for fun, they feel like a touch of Kate Space, and I’m all about that. We’ve got one on each side of the door, giving us lovely lighting as we come and go

As you can see, they’ve actually got quite the elegant swooping necks on them. I love them!

Retro laundry room decor

When it comes to the rest of the decor, it’s small touches that make the space feel at home within the house. 

Vintage baskets

I’ve added thrifted pieces when possible, and am always looking for charming and unique touches that I can bring to the space to make it feel like it was always there.

These colourful baskets are a treat, and feel right at home.

Colourful Books

I’m starting a new collection! Bird watching books and retro homemaking books. If I spot any, I’ll be adding to the shelves on the laundry side of things. Their well worn pages hold much history, and many beautiful images.

Art and flowers

These are a no-brainer, but I’ve got a mix of florals and small curated art the sit amongst the shelves. I only need so much laundry detergent on those shelves, so the rest is for fun!

      I linked it in the body of the post 🙂 I bought it from a merchant on Etsy, but it’s a Rifle Paper Co. print!

Packed-up the bulk of my closet this weekend. It’s funny, with less in there I can see the beautiful wallpaper and lighting more easily. You guys, I am seriously considering a more minimal lifestyle after sorting through WAY TOO MUCH stuff in our storage room. Anyone else a maximalist turned minimalist after a move?

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting people around her for years. It’s one of the many reasons we’re real life friends. Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.
