House plans with large laundry rooms provide a multi-functional space in the home for laundry, home projects, storage, crafts, and pets. Small laundry rooms are becoming a thing of the past. With growing families and an increased need for storage space, the size of utility rooms is now an essential element when designing new house plans. Laundry rooms are not just for housing the washer and dryer anymore. They can be used for craft rooms, folding and ironing, additional storage and even space for pets and all their gear.
