One of the most popular features in the Apartments at Spence Crossing is the in-unit washer and dryer. Each floorplan in our community includes a laundry room, which can be utilized numerous ways to alleviate storage issues and contain clutter.
Our residents love having an in-unit washer and dryer. Not only does it save money compared to a laundromat, it saves time. You can start the washer and then take your dog for a stroll at the bark park. Toss a load in the dryer and get a headstart on dinner. Not having to leave your home or monitor an offsite machine means that you are free to do other things.
Maybe you want to use all that free time to get organized! A spacious laundry room comes standard with every unit at Spence Crossing apartments, and you can customize it to meet your needs. Think outside the box. Yes, your laundry room can store a hamper and detergent. But now you also have room for a collapsible drying rack for delicates. A storage rack or small bookcase could be used to store all manner of cleaning supplies, seasonal decorations, or even small appliances that you don’t want cluttering your countertop! Group items by category, and stow them in attractive bins and baskets to keep things tidy.
There’s definitely room for a rolling cart–could it be a mobile gift wrapping station? Or maybe you need a cart that holds potting soil, watering cans, and spare pots for your houseplants. How easy would housekeeping be if you could store all your cleaning supplies on a cart and roll it from room to room? If you like to entertain, you could keep a cart stocked with party supplies like servingware, candlesticks and decorative linens.
Your laundry room could be the perfect place to store sporting equipment. Balls, bats and tennis rackets could be organized on an equipment rack, and uniform essentials like cleats, shin guards, helmets and pads could get stashed on a shelf right after they’ve been cleaned. Fishing rods could easily be stored upright alongside your tackle box. There’s even room for a bike! And if you have pets, the laundry room is a great place to store their food and toys.
If you have little ones at home, the laundry room is the ideal place for them to store all their art supplies. Whether it’s a set of drawers, cubbies or a utility shelf, your kids will easily be able to access paper, paints, clay, markers, crayons, and colored pencils. And because the laundry room is so spacious, you can keep everything in separate containers without having to jumble it all together in a single bin.
Once you’ve identified your storage needs, customize your laundry room with decor! Artwork on the walls and a small rug will instantly warm up the space so it feels less utilitarian. Matching storage bins will present a seamless look and minimize clutter. Let form follow function, and hang a cork board or white boad where you can post a chore chart, shopping list, or reminders for everyone in your household.
If you’re like our residents, you’ll find plenty of uses for your laundry room. To see our community in person, book an appointment with one of our leasing agents today! Contact us today!
