4. Purple Reign
Eschewing a light and airy color palette in favor of deep purple cabinets, walls and millwork, April Gahagan of FS Design Group gave this laundry area a rich, layered look. Because the space, brought to life by Judd Builders in North Carolina, also serves as a side foyer, mudroom and pantry — a high-traffic area, in other words — the designer carefully balanced aesthetics with practicality. For instance, dragonfly wallpaper has been placed higher up, above sturdier wainscoting, to keep it out of harm’s way. And the flooring is durable brick, given an elevated look thanks to varying shades and a herringbone pattern.
