By Popular Demand: Steal This Look, Brooklyn Laundry Room Edition

If you follow us on Instagram (if you don’t, it’s time to start), then you’re probably familiar with this luxe laundry room that made an appearance on our feed a few days back. Our followers were fans of the space, designed by architect Gerry Smith, and they wanted to know more: “What’s the paint color?” “Where can I source the floor tile?” “What material is the sink?” We decided it was only right to answer all of their questions, all in one place. So, without further ado, here’s how to get the look of a laundry room that effortlessly blends beauty and function.

Paints

Materials

Cle Terra Cotta Tile
Above: The architect used a French terracotta tile by Ann Sacks for the utility room floor. That style has been discontinued, but Clé Tile’s Antique Terracotta 6-Inch Hex in Provincial Red achieves a similar look; $33.16 per square foot.
Marine Black Phyllite
Above: The sink, countertops, and backsplash are made of marine black phyllite, which has a similar appearance to soapstone. The architect sourced it through ABC Worldwide Stone.
Brass Latch
Above: The cabinet latches are the Small Cast Brass Cupboard Latch with Oval Turn Piece from House of Antique Hardware; $14.79.
Waterworks Easton Vintage Bridge Gooseneck Kitchen Faucet
Above: A similar faucet is Waterworks Easton Vintage Bridge Gooseneck Kitchen Faucet in Antique Brass; $2,888.
Schoolhouse Alabax
Above: Schoolhouse Alabax sconces light the laundry room; $139 each for the medium size.

Accessories

Steele Canvas Laundry Truck
Above: The homeowners have a trio of Steele Canvas’s Elevated Trucks (a perennial favorite on this site) for sorting their laundry; $127.30.
Container Store Marche Basket
Above: A wire basket corrals laundry essentials near the washer and dryer. For a comparable option, try the Container Store’s Rustic Steel Marché Basket; $19.99 for the medium size.
Schoolhouse Electric Silverware Crock
Above: A silverware crock next to the utility room sink holds cleaning and gardening supplies. Schoolhouse’s Gray Stoneware Crock has a similar look; $54.
