A laundry room is a designated space in a home where clothes are washed, dried, and sometimes ironed. It typically contains essential appliances like a washing machine and a clothes dryer, along with storage for laundry supplies such as detergent and fabric softener. Some laundry rooms also have a sink for hand-washing delicate items or rinsing out stains. In addition to appliances, laundry rooms may include features like countertops for folding clothes, cabinets for organizing supplies, and hanging rods for air-drying garments. The layout and design can vary widely, from small closets to spacious areas, depending on the size of the home and the homeowner's needs.
