SOAK AND SPIN

Soak and Spin is a refined, nature-inspired space where practicality takes the lead. The laundry room is one of the workhorses of every household so bringing a sense of calm and tranquility to this space makes it a more enjoyable experience for all.

Inspired by the alluring tree just outside the window, this space is all about a clean, neutral palette and creating movement through textures and different finishes. We wanted to make the chaos of everyday life slowly slip away while performing daily household tasks.

The space was designed to be functional, but also beautiful. The washer and dryer are hidden behind retractable pocket doors that can be opened when in use and closed to hide the mechanics of this room when desired.

There are two different cabinet styles, as well as two different finishes, helping to create visual interest. The texture of the reeding on the washed oak lower cabinets compliments the painted white upper cabinets.

Everyone expects to find a tile on a laundry room floor and finding the right one can be a great way to introduce something unexpected.  We love adding these unexpected elements to our designs and chose an organic shaped tile in a dark finish to ground the space and give it a unique feel.
