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.
