Plotting anorganized and pretty laundry room isn't the easiest home decorating task. So when we see one that hits the well-designed nail on the head, we can't wait to sing its praises. And Christina, the blogger behind The DIY Mommy, certainly earns our stylish laundry room badge with this successful bare-to-better makeover. Here are three things she got oh-so right (and you should totally steal them for your house):

1. She didn't skimp on the pegboard.

Christina didn't stick with a tiny square of this utlity room staple; she covered the whole darn wall with the stuff. Hanging giant pegboard fully grasps every inch of vertical space. Pegboard works because it's truly flexible storage, and Christina clearly takes advantage of that fact. Her wall holds tall tools like an ironing board, a broom, wire bins for smaller necessities, a handy sorting station affixed with hooks at the bottom, and even a pull-out drying rack.

2. She turned the top of her machines into extra workspace.

And a decorative workspace at that. Christina's washer and dryer got a DIY countertop treatment when she plunked a pretty vintage door on top, creating a wide, uninterrupted zone for folding clothes.

3. She recognized the value of a color scheme.

Picture Christina's laundry room filled with mismatched tools, picked up on a whim at the grocery store. Kinda messy right? Taking the extra time to be intentional with your decor and your supply choices can make a big difference, especially when you can't store not-so-decorative items in a cabinet. Choose stuff that coordinates for a collection that looks stylish and inherently tidy.
