When all of the bedrooms are on the second floor it can be a real pain to cart dirty clothing, towels, and bed linens downstairs to be washed and dried, only to have to tote it all back upstairs to be put away. That\u2019s a lot of trips trudging up and down the stairs with heavy baskets of laundry and it might be time to bring it to your main living area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpstairs laundry rooms require special planning and space,\u201d said Normandy Designer <a href=\"https:\/\/normandyremodeling.com\/team\/vince-weber\/\">Vince Weber<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cYou need to consider how you do your laundry and if you have or are willing to make the space for it on the second floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-870\" src=\"https:\/\/normandyremodeling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/BRUNER09-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"Laundry Room on the second floor of the house\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" \/>When doing an addition or remodeling your existing space, it can be tough to decide whether to move the laundry room to the second floor or stick to the traditional location in the basement or the first floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen planning a two-story <a href=\"https:\/\/normandyremodeling.com\/design-ideas\/home-additions\">addition<\/a>, there is an opportunity to allocate for the space needed for a second-floor laundry room in your layout,\u201d said Vince. \u201cIf you\u2019re just remodeling, you may have to decide what square footage you are willing to give up and if it makes sense for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If there is room, many laundry rooms are used as a multi-purpose space on the second floor with first-class features such as custom cabinetry for linen storage or cleaning supplies. If space is an issue, a small closet can be transformed into a laundry hub with stackable machines.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1941\" src=\"https:\/\/normandyremodeling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/JEFFERSON064-195x300.jpg\" alt=\"2nd floor laundry room\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" \/>Putting in a second-floor laundry room requires some special considerations, but as our lives become more hectic and we have less time to do our chores, it could be beneficial. Plus, many homeowners enjoy the added living space downstairs that a second-floor laundry room provides. It will allow extra footage to be allocated to a kitchen or half bath, wherever you need it most.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about relocating your laundry room or it\u2019s time for your home to undergo a remodel, set up a time with <a href=\"https:\/\/normandyremodeling.com\/team\/vince-weber\/\">Vince<\/a> to go through your list of possible projects.
