7 Elegant Laundry Room Ideas for an Old Money Look

Espresso is trending in fashion and is starting to make its way into the world of interior design. Richer and more defined than the ubiquitous beige tones, it brings a touch of sophistication to your laundry room.

To complement it beautifully, opt for bronze accents on faucets and cabinet handles. A champagne color for your appliances will also be a perfect match. Finally, I added a vintage crystal sphere chandelier to bring an elegant touch to the space.

I’m absolutely in love with the old money countryside vibes and that’s exactly what I aimed to capture here. The wall moldings, paired with the elegant chandelier, bring in that refined country manor feel. The farmhouse ceramic sink and vintage-style faucet add an authentic, lived-in charm.

But my favorite detail ? The soft green French country wallpaper, it adds the perfect touch of romance. And of course, the beautiful bouquet of hydrangeas ties it all together.

If you like this aesthetic and want to bring it into the rest of your home, check out my guide on how to achieve the Old Money style.

With golden oak wood, this is a bolder take on the old money-style laundry room, still refined, but with more character. These golden tones remind me of the Tuscan-style home, which has seen a resurgence in recent years. Oak is a durable material, making it a perfect choice for a laundry room thanks to its natural resistance to humidity.

That said, be sure to apply a waterproof treatment and avoid letting water sit on the surface. For the flooring, beige travertine pairs beautifully with this wood tone. The ultimate old money touch ? A dark red Persian rug.

I’m obsessed with red terracotta tiles, they have that charming back-kitchen feel you find in old country homes. The idea behind this decor was to create the look of a refreshed scullery, without taking away its original character.

That’s why the simple white walls and white cabinets were the perfect choice, they let the beautiful flooring take center stage.

This burgundy laundry room proves that even the most functional spaces can be super chic. The deep color gives the room a rich, moody vibe, while the dark walnut-look porcelain tiles laid in a chevron pattern add warmth and texture, without any of the water damage worries that come with real wood. The gold handles on the cabinets add a bit of glam without going over the top.

A retro-style brushed gold faucet paired with a white ceramic sink brings in a cool vintage touch and the matching dark walnut countertops pull everything together. At night, a gold teardrop chandelier will add some warm light. It’s a beautiful mix of a bold color with just the right amount of luxury.

Baby blue is the quintessential “old money” color. In an old money home, you usually want to keep things classic by choosing white or cream for most rooms. But a laundry room is a small space, so if you want to have a little fun while staying classic, baby blue is the perfect choice.

I also really love this color for a child’s bedroom, it adds a pop of color while staying soft and gentle. The touches of gold on the chandelier, handles and faucet bring a playful yet elegant flair to the space.

Greige is everywhere these days and for good reason, it’s a neutral and timeless color that pairs well with many fabrics and textures. I love to pair that color with white quartz for the countertops.

You can incorporate it through paint, but also through luxurious materials. To keep your laundry room clean and simple, I wouldn’t recommend an all-over greige look. Instead, use pure white paint to balance the room. Add a fresh touch to the room with a bouquet of white lilies.
