Budget laundry refresh using wallpaper and paint

AMR

The laundry was from last century and unpleasant to be in and unsightly to look upon. It was crying out to be loved up. There wasn’t a huge budget so the changes made were focused on making the space lovely, light and functional in a beautifully simple way. The wallpaper started us off and everything else slipped into place around that initial element.
