A laundry room is a designated space in a home where clothes and linens are washed, dried, and sometimes ironed. It typically contains essential appliances such as a washing machine and a clothes dryer. Some laundry rooms also have a sink for hand-washing delicate items and storage for laundry supplies like detergent and fabric softener. In addition to appliances, laundry rooms may include features like countertops for folding clothes and cabinets for organizing laundry essentials. The layout can vary, with some laundry rooms being separate rooms, while others are part of a basement or utility room. Proper ventilation is important to prevent moisture buildup.
