“A house should tell the story of a well-lived and well-loved life, and the most interesting ones are never truly complete—they only grow more layered and meaningful with each passing year.”
—Amanda Smith Fowler on her point of view

Laundry Room and Adjoining Hall

Pink flowers lay in a laundry room sink.

DESIGN INSPIRATION

“My starting point came from the tile treatment Jewel Centanni of Ivy Residential Concepts designed. The stripes run from one end of the room across the ceiling to the other side, and the rosy colors make the room glow no matter the time of day.”

ENGLISH ACCENT

“We visited the Liberty showroom while in London, and I became enchanted with the company’s history and designs. I went back to their roots and chose one of their iconic florals for the shade. I used two solids in the blush tones from the tile work for the valance and the skirt that conceals storage under the counter.”

ROOM TO BLOOM

“I styled the laundry as a cutting room, envisioning the sink filled with loads of flowers from the garden. Every house needs a spot where you can really get creative with the textures, colors, and shapes of whatever is in season. And what better time to pull together a few arrangements than while you’re waiting for the clothes to dry?”

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK

“In the small hall outside the laundry room, one of Liberty’s new papers covers the wall. It features all kinds of birds and flowers. Every time I pass through, I notice something different.”

Make Life Joyful

“Pretty surfaces and materials elevate a workhorse room like the laundry and help make going about life’s daily tasks a joy.”

FLORAL SPOTLIGHT

This laundry room serves double duty as a dreamy flower room. AnnMarie Meyers of Hummingbird Floral Studio filled this copper watering can with fluffy pink roses from Grace Rose Farm, perfectly complementing the rose colors of the room. In the sink, ranunculus, snapdragons, and dahlias continue the girlish note.
