This San Francisco laundry room by Slarve Construction shows how a glass-paneled entry door is a smart way to bring light into a windowless room. And that abundance of light allowed the remodeling team to embrace dark, moody custom cabinetry and millwork. Brick flooring in a herringbone pattern adds texture and style, while a folding counter and a utility sink with a drying rod above deliver function.

In Lafayette, California, this relatively narrow wet bar by Slarve Construction packs in the home-bar most-wanteds: a drinks fridge, a bar sink, open and closed storage and task lighting. The small wood-finish drawers with cutout handles — which match the wood floating shelves and bring out the warm veins in the stone slab — make a big style impact.

This charming black-and-cream laundry room by Slarve Construction has the same handy pullout shelves as the previous space. The feature can also provide extra folding surface. Elevated front-loading machines ease access. A black-and-white checkerboard floor brings the palette together.
