Designing a Laundry Room: Step 2 – Personalizing Your Space

 

 

What you learned:

 

Editing sections:

  • Once you have laid out your Laundry Room, start on your All Walls view to begin personalizing your solution.
  • If you opted to Autofill your solution with product, you can adjust what is included in each section.
  • Click on wall you would like to adjust. Then double click the section you would like to change.
  • The red trash can icon allows you to delete the section, the blue "Edit" pencil icon allows you to edit within the section and the two black and white sheets are the "Duplicate Item" icon.
  • If you add a section and it does not fit within the wall space, it will glow red. Click "Resize Section" above the highlighted area, then check "Auto Size All Sections" if you desire uniformity and symmetry in your solution.

 

Adding laundry room accessories:

  • To visualize where the washer and dryer will appear in your solution, click on the "Obstructions" icon on the left-hand side of your screen when in the Wall View of your space.
  • Click and drag the washer shown in the left-hand panel onto your screen. Click the "Duplicate" button below the washer for an additional appliance (dryer).
  • Click "Accessories" in the right-hand control panel.
  • Click and drag the accessory you would like to add into your design. When you hover over each accessory item, a pop-up will appear with a short description of the item.
