Brighten Up Your Laundry Room with a New Tin Sign

Laundry Room

Laundry rooms aren’t really places that we associate with fun and excitement, are they? Most of the time, when you’re heading into the laundry room, it’s to wash, dry and fold a load of clothing. As a result, it’s not uncommon for homeowners to not think about decorating the laundry area. While it may be practical to leave the laundry room as one of the last places that you decorate, when you move into a new home, just allowing the space to have blank, white walls can make the work area feel drabber.

If you’re looking for a way to enliven your laundry area, a laundry room sign could be the perfect choice. Laundry room signs are actually rooted in history and can be traced back to the days when in-home electric and gas washers and dryers were rare. In those days, more people did their laundry at the laundromat, and the walls of these businesses were often decorated with tin signs advertising soaps, detergents, alterations services and more.

Retro laundry room signs are modern-day tin signs designed to recreate the designs of those metal wall decorations that hung in laundromats years ago. Some are very traditional, beautiful pieces that are patterned after real advertisements for various types of soap. Others are playful, humorous designs that incorporate vintage artwork and lettering with slogans and messages that will make you chuckle. When choosing tin signs for the laundry room, considering decor is often not as important as finding something that is appealing to you.

Jack & Friends has a wide variety of laundry room sign styles from which you can choose to complete your laundry room and make washdays a little brighter. Check out our wide selection now.
