Tranquil Blue
Hayley Kidd, an interior designer and renovation specialist with Freemodel, told me she loves using light blues for laundry rooms because these soothing, calming tones look fresh and clean. However, finding a light blue without going too baby nursery can be tricky.
One of Kidd’s favorites is Benjamin Moore’s Beach Glass. The gray undertone keeps it from straying into the saccharine. “It can create a tranquil environment in your laundry room and is very versatile,” she says.

Sage Green
“Earthy tones like taupe, beiges or muted greens can bring a cozy down-to-earth vibe when paired with natural wood elements,” Kidd says. Her picks include Benjamin Moore’s 2022 Color of the Year, October Mist, and the moodier Gloucester Sage.
Sage is having a big moment in interiors in general. But if you’re a little commitment-shy on a trendy color, a laundry room can be a great place to test it out.
In a year or two, if you don’t love it, all you’re out is a coat of paint in a relatively small room. But with a nearly-neutral green, especially one where you can trade out trims or accents with your moods, you’ll probably be content with the choice for a long time.

White
Madison Popper, founder and lead interior designer for the global interior design firm Chill Casa, advocates for classic white laundry rooms. But don’t get too stark or you’ll feel like you’re on a shift at the hospital.
Popper suggests Chantilly Lace from Benjamin Moore.
“It’s a timeless classic, a crisp and clean choice that adds a touch of elegance to any laundry room,” Popper says. “White can be a major winner for laundry rooms because it’s a blank canvas, it reflects light beautifully, making even the smallest laundry space feel more open and airy. Plus, it showcases stains or spills, so you can tackle them with precision.”
Even Moore’s description evokes a day of laundry, describing it as the white “that elicits images of fresh cotton and pure silk.”

Yellow
If there was ever a color that could change dreary to cheery, yellow’s the one. Perhaps the warm, welcoming, optimistic good juju we get from yellow could help us overcome the tedium of wash, rinse, repeat.
Coat walls in a creamy yellow like Behr’s Roasted Corn, or go for a blast of sunshine with the line’s Upbeat. Feel too intense? Consider a yellow-based white like Pearly White if you’re feeling more mellow than yellow.

Gray
Gray continues its run as a popular interior wall color in laundry rooms, too. Popper says a soft gray is “like a gentle whisper of sophistication that’ll keep your laundry space feeling clean and tranquil.”
Pair it with some printed patterned tile flooring, glossy-finish cabinets or colorful curtains to punch up the space. Think Flannel Gray for a (textile-themed!) softer gray, or go bold with Cracked Pepper, Behr’s 2024 Color of the Year.

Dusty Pink
Interior designer Mohammad Ahmed loves dusty pink laundry rooms. “A hue as delicate as Rosebud by Sherwin-Williams can infuse a touch of romance and nostalgia into a room,” he says.
It’s a more unusual choice, which makes a statement. He likes to use gold or brass accents, bringing a sense of luxury to a utilitarian space. “The warmth of this pink can make the room feel cozy and intimate, turning a mundane chore into a delightful experience,” he says.

Navy Blue
Looking to make your laundry room a conversation starter? Jim Olenbush, a professional home stager with Austin Real Estate, says while many people gravitate toward lighter blues, navy could be the key to making a splash in the laundry room.
“I’ve found that richer, deeper blues, verging on navy, have their own unique charm,” he says. “Combined with lighter accents or white fixtures, this bold choice can make the laundry room pop.”
Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy is a perennially popular pick.

Purple
A laundry room is a great place to take a style risk. Tucked away from the entertaining areas, you can live with it and enjoy it, even daily, without worrying you’ll get tired of it.
Consider a smoky lavender like Farrow & Ball’s Peignoir for a more neutral option (it’s the delicate cycle of purples). Or you could go full glam with the dark, vampy McQueen from Backdrop. The name evokes the famous fashion designer, which surely will give you a shot of inspiration to wear the best pieces in your wardrobe.
