Let’s Create a Feature Wall in Your Laundry Room

 

Learn how to Create a charming laundry room feature wall with vintage tins, cozy accents, and creative styling.

A cheerful, vintage‑inspired guide for turning a hardworking space into a happy one

Laundry rooms may be some of the most practical corners of our homes, but that doesn’t mean they have to feel plain or forgotten. A feature wall is one of the easiest ways to bring personality, charm, and a little everyday joy into the space where we wash, fold, and freshen up the fabrics of our lives.

And the best part? There are no rules. Truly. Your laundry room should feel like you — creative, cozy, nostalgic, bold, simple, or delightfully quirky. I’ll show you the basics, and then you get to make it your own.

 

Create a charming laundry room feature wall with vintage tins, cozy accents, and creative styling.

Start with a Theme That Makes You Smile

A feature wall works best when it has a clear mood or story. Some of my favorites:

  • Vintage laundry charm — tin signs, metal tubs, retro fonts
  • Farmhouse cozy — shiplap, baskets, greenery
  • Bright and cheerful — pops of yellow, blue, or red
  • Minimal and clean — simple typography, soft neutrals

If you love vintage laundry art (like I do!), you can shop the three large tin signs I designed in my Zazzle store. They make a perfect anchor for your wall.

 


 Choose a Statement Piece

Every feature wall needs a “main character.” This could be:

  • A large vintage tin sign
  • Metal letters spelling LAUNDRY
  • A framed retro print
  • A hanging wash tub or enamelware piece

Once you choose your anchor, everything else can play off of it.

 


Layer in Smaller Accents

This is where the fun begins. Mix textures, shapes, and materials to create depth and interest.

Some ideas:

  • Smaller slogan prints like Wash • Dry • Fold
  • A tiny galvanized wash tub hung on a hook
  • A wooden shelf for functional-but-pretty items
  • A mason jar filled with powdered soap
  • A basket of wooden clothespins
  • A trailing ivy plant to soften the lines

You can find great accent pieces at Hobby Lobby, craft stores, flea markets, or even thrift shops. Vintage laundry decor is everywhere once you start looking.

  Play With Color and Balance

A feature wall is part styling, part storytelling.

  • Echo colors from your main sign (like yellow, blue, or red) in towels or planters
  • Balance heavier items with lighter ones
  • Let greenery trail naturally
  • Mix metal, wood, and fabric for warmth

And remember there are no rules. If it feels right to you, it is right.

 

Add Your Personal Touch

This is where your wall becomes uniquely yours.

  • A handwritten label
  • A seasonal ribbon
  • A tiny framed photo
  • A favorite quote
  • A quirky little object that makes you grin

Laundry may be a chore, but your space doesn’t have to feel like one.

 

 Final Thoughts

A laundry room feature wall is a small project with big impact. It brings charm, nostalgia, and a sense of delight to a space we use every day. Start with one piece you love, build around it, and let your creativity lead the way.

If you’d like to recreate the look from my mockups, you can shop my three large vintage tin signs on Zazzle they’re the perfect foundation for a cheerful, retro-inspired laundry wall. Then fill in the rest with treasures from Hobby Lobby or your favorite craft store.

And above all: have fun with it. Make it your own.

Update Bathroom with Rose Floral Bath Towels

 For a quick and easy bathroom update change your bath towels.  You could also touch up the paint to a color that would go with your new towel ensemble or if the paint looks good then leave it.  All you need to do is make a few cosmetic changes to your bathroom and it will look fresh and new.

This year I created botanical bath towel sets that feature vintage roses. These towels come in a variety of rose flower colors, red pink, and red.   All were created from public domain rose prints that I cut out before I hand-set them to create a unique floral design.  

You may wonder why I created bath towel sets with roses?  I find that many people love roses and think that this flower is relaxing to them.  They love the soft petals of the rose and the scent relieves stress and fights anxiety.  So for a stress-free bathroom accent the décor with roses

This photo shows rose petals and bath salts.  Wonderfully fragrant and is a bathroom accent that will compliment your new rose-printed towels. 



Here are a few of my favorite bath towel designs.  Note that you do not have to buy the towel set all are sold separately

This towel set features beautiful pink and yellow roses with lush greenery on a white background. Buy this towel set for yourself or as a housewarming or bridal shower gift. This vintage rose-designed towel set is beautiful and if she likes florals in her bathroom then she will love it.

If you are someone who loves beautiful furnishings for your vintage home then you will love this elegantly designed throw pillow.  This square throw pillow was created from a photograph of vintage victorian wallpaper. 

The image is not perfect due to the age of the wallpaper, I did use photoshop to restore the photo and I think considering the age of the wallpaper the design is quite lovely. 

The elegant vintage floral decorative pillow features an urn filled with mauve-pink and burgundy roses on a soft gold color background and gold filigree accents.
