Alamo Heights Laundry Room

This Alamo Heights family of four had a common problem for busy households with young children: an outdated laundry room that lacked the organization and efficiency they needed for daily life.

Introduced to Wade Caldwell Construction by their interior designer, the homeowners wanted to turn a utility space into something more, something that felt like an extension of their home’s elevated style.

The result? A complete transformation that delivers style, practicality, and storage in equal measure, proving that even the most overlooked spaces deserve thoughtful design.

The Reimagining

This wasn’t just a facelift. It was a reimagining of what a laundry room could be. The entry was relocated to improve flow, and the finished floor was raised to match the hallway for a seamless transition.

Every detail was designed around function, family life, and cohesion with the rest of the home’s remodeled aesthetic.

Key improvements included:

• A built-in work desk with soft under-cabinet lighting and integrated storage

• A custom-designed, mobile laundry cart with four removable baskets and a folding surface

• Dual pull-out drying racks for delicate items

• A relocated and upgraded laundry sink with adjacent cabinetry

• A vertical utility cabinet for vacuums, brooms, and mops

Even in a compact footprint, this project maximized every inch to create a laundry room that’s both high-performance and high-style.

The Details

The design centered around warm, calming tones and layered textures to elevate the space from utilitarian to inviting.

• Flooring: A striking patterned tile in olive green, rust, blue, and white added depth and energy while remaining practical for everyday use.

• Cabinetry: Custom full-height cabinetry in a soft blush-beige finish provided ample concealed storage and visual warmth.

• Countertops: Durable quartz surfaces with subtle veining were used at both the desk and sink for a clean yet elegant look.

• Fixtures: A compact stainless laundry sink and sleek faucet were installed beneath softly lit upper cabinets.

• Hardware: Brushed nickel handles delivered a touch of modern sophistication.

These choices, curated by the homeowners’ designer and executed by the WCC team, created a space that feels consistent with the home’s recently remodeled interiors.

The Result

The homeowners now have something rare: a laundry room they’re proud to show off. With everything in its place (and nothing on the floor) they’ve said goodbye to clutter and hello to calm.

Wade Caldwell's thoughtful updates not only increased the room’s utility but also its sense of harmony with the rest of the house. The family loves that it’s no longer just a task-oriented space. It’s a beautifully designed part of the home, worthy of guests’ eyes and everyday enjoyment.
