Tips for a Quick Laundry Room Facelift
The author of Home Makeovers that Sell, Side Davis, states in his book that it is the "Wow" factor that sells homes today. Improvement to various areas of a home can make a big difference. An attractive and useful laundry room can help add to the overall "Wow" factor.
Working with designer Jackie Terrell, the author offers up the following tips:

Make use of the existing plumbing in the laundry room to add a half bath. This can be an inexpensive way to add to overall property value.

Paint the walls a brighter color. Most laundry rooms do not have windows.

Consider the possibility of installing a window in the laundry room to offer up natural light.

Make the laundry room a more comfortable and usable work space by laying down a rug (Most are tiled.) Install useful built-in shelving to accommodate supplies. Perhaps a built-in ironing board as well.
