We don't have a laundry room, per se; our basement is too small. But we did manage to turn one of the corners into a laundry area. Here's what we enjoy having in that little area: washer, dryer, big sink (indispensible), ironing board, shelves for holding detergent, dryer sheets, iron, etc., and a place to hang shirts and pants (hubby rigged a pipe up to do the job, but if you're remodeling, you could fix something better.) The other thing I've seen in some laundry rooms is a nice big folding table...useful for so many things, but would especially be great for folding bed sheets!
