Don’t Overlook the Laundry Room in Your Remodel

Most people think about kitchen remodeling first — but the laundry room is where smart design makes a huge difference. High‑quality cabinets, durable materials, and custom storage solutions can turn this everyday workspace into one of the most efficient rooms in your home. If you’re considering custom cabinets or planning a Tucson kitchen remodeling project, upgrading the laundry room at the same time is a game‑changer.

This mid‑century modern kitchen remodel in Tucson was exactly the refresh this home needed — without removing walls or flooring. The clients wanted the space to feel bigger, more functional, and more intentional.

Matt at Uncharted Design reimagined the layout, widened the kitchen, and added custom cabinetry to the back of the peninsula to create a true “2‑butt cooking space.” The coffee bar now serves triple duty: coffee station, dog zone for Moose, and organized shoe storage. Sullivan Design Build nailed the install.

Showplace Evo cabinetry in the Milan maple door with Autumn stain, paired with Arial Quartz countertops and warm zinc minimalist pulls, brought the whole design together. And that beautiful green backsplash tile? It completely transformed the space.
