2023 laundry renovation trends will be one of functional but a touch of going for broke without hopefully actually going for broke. For your 2023 laundry remodel the biggest trends I will cover below are not too far removed from what we were doing in 2022 but we will cover more small laundry trends to help those readers who are looking to get the most out of those small laundries.

Below are the three biggest 2023 laundry renovation trends. I break down the 4 trends based on the biggest elements of a laundry renovation. That is what we put on the walls, the type of tapware we are installing into the laundry, the finishing of the cupboards and the most practical aspect of any new trend for laundry renovations in 2023.

• Timber Clad Panneling or Also Called VJ Panels In Your Laundry (Wall Coverings)
• All The Finishes Of The Rainbow (Laundry Tapware)
• Two-Toned Laminate (Cupboard Finish Trends)
• Hanging and Open (Drying Racks and Opening Shelves)

Wall Coverings (Timber or VJ Panels)

VJ Panels is the biggest laundry trend of 2023, 2022 and 2021 let’s just say timber panelling on the walls in your laundry is the trend of the 2020’s not just for laundry renovations but bathrooms and toilets to boot.

So why do people love using timber panels for their wall coverings in laundry renovations? One word VERSATILITY. the range of styles can be from coastal to country, with the panelling feeling ingrained into space as soon as it is installed, talking about installing as well the other big reason it is versatile is it can be easily applied to any flat surface.

Lining your laundry walls with panelling will take on classic Hamptons-style homes with the vertical lines helping to give your walls a high feeling even if they are not and for this smaller heritage or cottage home a sense of height to the laundry room.

In brief below are the dot points for why timber/VJ panels are the number one wall coverings in laundries going into 2023.

• Versatility
• Easy Installation
• Adds Height To A Small Space
• Styles Include Coast, Country and Hamptons

The most popular 2023 laundry renovation trend for tapware is the brushed nickel finish. The brushed nickel laundry tapware is popular due to the fact it goes well with white or matt white laundry cabinets which are the most popular.

Laundry Cupboard Finish (Two Tone)

The biggest laundry renovation trend for 2023 when it comes to laundry cupboards is the two-tone finish. Modern laundry renovations will be a combination of white cupboards and timber surrounds. Let’s break down why each of the modern laundry renovations works with the two-tone finish.

Firstly this laundry renovation works well as it uses matt white cupboards with a light oak finish timber. The added luxury with this laundry as the matt white doors are covered in nicely finish grooves which make the usually boring white finish pop.

The gorgeous laundry renovation below goes the more traditional flat matt white finish cupboards. The key usually for white cupboards is to put them at eye level as they become less overpowering when installed at eye level. Large timber at eye level can be overwhelming.

Lastly, we have this beautiful little laundry renovation. Using a wood base cupboard and timber shelving at eye level is a stunning combination that feels both warm and clean at the same time.

2023 Laundry Renovation Most Modern Choice (Open Shelves and Drying Rack)

The during rack and open shelves are the biggest trend for 2023 laundry renovation that everyone is trying to install in their modern laundry renovations.

Let me give you a brief on the pros and cons of the laundry drying rail/bar and let you decide if the new modern laundry concept is really for you.

Pros Of The Laundry Drying Bar/Rail

• As the name sounds the laundry bar is great for drying clothes or that nicely ironed shirt
• Is a stunning feature in person and a real talking point.
• People love gadgets and interesting features when selling

Cons Of The Laundry Drying Rail

• Takes up space
• Can dominate a laundry at eye level
• Requires an almost custom-made laundry cupboard finish.

Laundry drying bars or laundry during rails are designed for the person who loves to dry their clothes better or looking to have their ironed clothes hanging us as they dry them. It’s both cost-effective to purchase and practical to install so the key is working with your laundry renovator in making it work to bring that laundry up to a more modern finish.

Opening shelving is a different animal. Open shelving in a laundry is designed to showcase items you may want to expose such as candles, organic cleaners or plants. The alternative is items that you need to access without having to open up a cupboard.

The best way version of open shelving in your laundry is to have it around the space you use the most. Often this is around the sink area as you can grab and put things back easily if your hands are wet or occupied.

Timber-framed open shelves are the most popular style of open shelving in the laundry. The timber surrounds you get for the shelves in the laundry are popular as it make the feature stand out and break up the often white overhead cupboards.

Finally, 2023 laundry renovation trends will be a lot bolder than in previous years. Homeowners are exposed to so much more that we often try to go away from what we have seen to be different. This creates more and more wild ideas and visuals. My big advice though if you are renovating your laundry in 2023 is the same advice I give when you’re renovating your bathroom it’s only you know how you use your space day to day so aim to renovate it in the manner in which you actually use the space.
