Washing and Drying Sensations

There’s nothing more tragic than a whopping pile of dirty clothes needing some washing. And if you’re anything like me, I’d rather wash the dishes than do the laundry. I hate it so much that I’d never even consider washers and dryers as items of style. For me, they are simply reminders that I’d have to do the laundry someday soon. That’s why I was flabbergasted when I went to a store that showcased washers and dryers as potential home accessories!

The most interesting brand would no doubt be the new Kenmore designs that are simply adorable! They come in pumpkin yellow, beautiful blue and charming champagne colors that would liven up any laundry day. They were even designed with pedestals that make reaching for them an easy job. You can choose a color that can coordinate well with your theme. Although you might have some decorating drawbacks with the blue and yellow, I bet you would find the champagne safe enough for almost any color scheme. Next in line would be the LG and Whirlpool washers. Most front loaders come in more interesting designs compared to top loaders, so watch out for these when you’re scouring the stores. An added bonus of these versatile sets is the fact that they include child safety gadgets to prevent any kind of tragedy.

If you’re totally dreaming of this concept already I bet you’re now wondering how in the world you’re going to make it fit into your living room or kitchen design. Especially for those who don’t have it as part of their room set-up yet, it can be quite a dilemma. Would you rather change the whole theme to accommodate your new machine? Don’t worry! If you want to avoid having your blue washer look like its an unwelcome guest in your majority of black and white room accessories, then add a couple of blue items too. This way, you would be able to balance out the main theme colors, tying up the whole look together!

If you happen to have a yellow washer and your couch comes in black in a setting of white walls, then place some yellow accessories such as pumpkin-colored pillows, an egg shell yellow vase, or perhaps several long-stemmed yellow roses in a white vase. One advantage of the LG washer/dryer combination is that it uses a drying device that won’t require you to connect it to a vent, so you can put it anywhere at all! Together with the Whirlpool duet, they make for an interesting white and gray mixture that matches any possible room theme!

The only other problem you might have with this decorating idea is if your washer happens to be a bit noisy. Even if it’s a thing of beauty to behold, all that noise and ruckus will eventually drive your guests nuts! Most of these recent machine versions thankfully make minimal noise so you don’t have to worry, unless yours is a relatively old one. While you’re doing your laundry be sure you cleaned out all the pockets, coins can cause a lot of commotion and sometimes even damage. It’s an undue distraction if you’re having friends over for a party. Washing machines can now be an interesting yet all the while functional part of your home design. You can do the laundry while entertaining! These machines are multi-purpose items that reflect the ultimate multi-tasker in you!
