Vertical Grain Douglas Fir Laundry Room
Vertical grain Douglas fir brings warmth and a continuous rhythm to this laundry room. Flat cabinet fronts let the straight grain take center stage, while black pulls, dark countertops, and a textured dark backsplash give the room a crisp contrast. The counter wraps beneath the window and around the corner, creating space to sort and fold beside a sink for rinsing and cleanup. Wide drawer banks organize the lower storage, and upper cabinets carry the fir to the ceiling. Along the appliance wall, matching cabinetry frames two stacked washer-dryer towers, with a tall cabinet between the work area and the machines and additional cupboards above. The result is a practical utility room with the cohesive feel of custom furniture.
Project Highlights
- Straight Grain, Clean Lines
Slab fronts showcase the vertical grain Douglas fir without competing profiles or ornament.
- A Continuous Work Surface
Dark counters turn the corner, giving folding, sorting, and rinsing their own places within one connected work area.
- Cabinetry Around the Machines
A tall cabinet and overhead cupboards integrate two stacked washer-dryer towers into the wood storage wall.
- Warmth with Contrast
Black pulls and the dark backsplash balance the pale fir and tie the cabinetry to the appliances.
A unique and modern look! The matte black pulls are intricately carved and fitted into each and every face.
Perfectly aligned contemporary sink cabinet to the window!
