Preppy · Laundry Room
The core recipe is navy and white on the larger surfaces, dark cherry wood and canvas for texture, and a few signature pieces — think tailored striped upholstery and brass lamps and hardware — to make the style unmistakable. Layer the room in passes. First the big surfaces in navy and white, then anchor furniture like tailored striped upholstery, then accents in canvas. Because this is a humid space, choose moisture-resistant finishes and washable fabrics wherever you can. You can scale preppy up or down: start with paint and textiles, then upgrade larger furniture pieces later. You can preview every one of these choices with an AI redesign: upload a photo of your laundry room, pick Preppy, and compare versions side by side. Structure lock tells the AI to keep your walls, windows, doors and layout and to change only finishes, furniture, lighting and decor; compare the result with your photo before you plan any work.

What to buy
Typical US price ranges for the finishes that carry this look.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Waterproof click-lock planks that mimic wood convincingly and shrug off spills, pets, and kids. It will not last as long as real wood and cannot be refinished, but day-to-day maintenance is just sweeping and damp mopping.
$3.00–$8.00
sq ft installed
White Oak Cabinets
Rift- or quarter-sawn white oak brings the warm, linear grain that anchors today's organic-modern kitchens. The hardwood itself is tough and refinishable, though the material sits firmly at the premium end.
$300–$800
linear ft installed
estimateSoapstone Countertops
A dense, non-porous stone that shrugs off heat and stains without any sealing, darkening naturally to a rich charcoal over time. It is soft enough to nick, but marks sand out easily and many owners oil it to even the tone.
$70–$120
sq ft of countertop installed
estimateDesigner Brass or Unlacquered Brass Fixture
Solid brass fittings from design-led brands bring warmth and heft that plated budget fixtures cannot fake. Unlacquered finishes develop a living patina; polish them if you prefer the shine to stay.
$400–$1,000
per fixture installed
estimateStatement Pendant Light
A sculptural pendant over an island or entry that acts as the room's jewelry. Price swings wildly with designer and material, and installation may need a ceiling box rated for the fixture's weight.
$200–$800
per fixture installed

Questions
Is Preppy a good style for a laundry room?
Yes. Preppy adapts well to a laundry room because its core elements — dark cherry wood and canvas and a navy and white palette — work at almost any room size. Because this is a humid space, choose moisture-resistant finishes and washable fabrics wherever you can.
How much does a preppy laundry room makeover cost?
It depends on scope. A refresh with paint, textiles and decor can cost very little, while new furniture or dark cherry wood surfaces cost more. You can scale preppy up or down: start with paint and textiles, then upgrade larger furniture pieces later. Previewing options with AI before you buy helps you spend only on what actually changes the room.
Will the AI keep my laundry room's walls and windows unchanged?
That's what structure lock asks for: it tells the AI to keep the walls, windows, doors and architecture in your photo and change only finishes, furniture, lighting and decor. AI can still alter details, so compare the result with your photo before relying on it.
