Alright, let’s be real for a second. You’ve spent hours, maybe even days, perfecting your Toca Boca family’s living room. The kitchen is a chef’s kiss of aesthetic perfection, and the bedrooms look like they’ve been pulled straight from a Pinterest board. But then… there’s the laundry room. That sad, forgotten little corner, usually just a washing machine shoved against a blank wall. It’s the beige-carpeted basement of our Toca dreams, and frankly, it deserves better.
I get it. I’ve been there. I’ve built sprawling mansions and cozy cabins, and for the longest time, my laundry spaces were an afterthought. But one day, I looked at that lonely little washing machine and thought, “Why can’t this be the cutest room in the house?” This isn’t just a chore space; it’s a canvas! And you, my friend, are an artist.
So, if you’re tired of your Toca family doing laundry in a room with all the personality of a cardboard box, you’ve come to the right place. We’re about to turn that drab utility closet into a dazzling display of design. Forget boring; we’re going for adorable.
1. Pastel Rainbow Laundry Room
Let’s start with a classic that never fails to bring a smile. A pastel rainbow theme is like a gentle, happy sigh for your eyes. It’s soft, it’s dreamy, and it makes the mundane task of digital laundry feel like you’re folding clouds. Because who doesn’t want their virtual chores to feel magical?
The goal here isn’t a loud, in-your-face rainbow. Think more like a soft, washed-out rainbow after a light spring shower. We’re aiming for tranquility, not a rave.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Pastel Wallpapers: The Home Designer tool is your best friend here. Look for the striped wallpapers with soft pinks, blues, and yellows, or even the subtle ombre patterns. You can also create a feature wall with a simple pastel color and then add rainbow decals.
- White or Light Wood Washer/Dryer: To make the pastels pop, you need a neutral base for your appliances. The standard white set works perfectly.
- Rainbow Rug: There are a few fantastic rainbow-themed rugs in Toca Life World. My personal favorite is the arc-shaped one, often found in the character creator or furniture packs. It’s the centerpiece of this entire look.
- Cloud-Shaped Shelves: These are the absolute cutest and scream “dreamy.” You can often find them in furniture packs associated with kids’ rooms or fantasy themes. Load them up with colorful, folded towels.
- Pastel Storage Baskets: Look for light pink, baby blue, and mint green baskets to hold laundry supplies. The shop at the Pom-Pom Peaks resort sometimes has these.
Putting It All Together
Start by painting your walls. I suggest using a soft, pastel-striped wallpaper on three walls and a solid, creamy white on the wall where your machines will go. This prevents the pattern from becoming overwhelming. Place your white washer and dryer side-by-side.
Next, lay down that gorgeous rainbow rug right in the middle of the floor. It instantly sets the theme. Above the machines, hang two or three cloud-shaped shelves. I like to stagger them for a more dynamic look. On these shelves, place neatly folded towels in every color of the pastel rainbow—pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. It’s a small detail, but it makes a huge difference. Finally, place your pastel storage baskets on the floor or on a low bench. Voila! Laundry day just got 100% more cheerful.
2. Cozy Kawaii Wash Corner
If you want to squeal with delight every time you enter your laundry room, the Cozy Kawaii theme is for you. “Kawaii” is the Japanese culture of cuteness, and we are going to embrace it with open arms. Think smiling faces on inanimate objects, soft textures, and a whole lot of charm.
This design is perfect for smaller spaces because it focuses on adorable details rather than large, statement pieces. It’s all about making every single item as cute as humanly (or Toca-ly) possible.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Appliances with Personality: Some of the Toca washing machines have subtle, cute designs. Look for ones with rounded edges or colorful buttons. The light pink or mint green models are perfect for this.
- Smiling Plant Pots: This is non-negotiable. Find those little planters with the cute little smiling faces and pop a small, leafy plant in them. They’re often available in the mall or home stores.
- Bear or Bunny Rug: Instead of a standard rectangular rug, find one shaped like a cute animal. A fluffy bear head or a simple bunny shape adds instant kawaii vibes.
- Pastel Art Prints: Look for wall art featuring cute foods with faces (like a smiling strawberry) or simple animal illustrations. The post office is a surprisingly good place to find random, cute posters!
- Heart-Shaped Baskets: For your laundry hampers, find baskets that are pink, white, or even heart-shaped if you can.
Putting It All Together
Keep the walls simple for this one—a soft, creamy white or a very pale pink. This allows your cute accessories to be the stars of the show. Place your chosen kawaii-style washing machine and then immediately add a smiling plant pot on top of it or on a shelf right next to it.
Lay down your animal-shaped rug in front of the machine. It’s a bit silly, but that’s the whole point, right? On the wall, hang a cluster of two or three small, cute art prints. Don’t line them up perfectly; a slightly off-kilter arrangement feels more playful and relaxed. Use your cute baskets for storage, and maybe even leave a little teddy bear sitting on a shelf. Why? Because it’s adorable, that’s why.
3. Pink Bubble Wash Station
For the unapologetically pink-obsessed. This isn’t just a laundry room with a few pink accents. Oh no. This is an explosion of pink. We’re talking pink walls, pink floors, pink accessories… if it can be pink, it will be pink. It’s bold, it’s fun, and it’s a total mood.
The trick to not making it look like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol exploded is to use various shades of pink. Mix hot pinks with baby pinks, corals, and magentas to create depth and interest.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Pink Washing Machine: Yes, it exists! There’s a fabulous, vibrant pink washing machine available in some of the home packs. It is the heart and soul of this design.
- Bubble Wallpaper: In the Home Designer, you’ll find wallpaper patterns that look like bubbles or circles. Find one in a pinkish hue or a white one you can layer under pink decals.
- Hot Pink Shelving: Don’t be shy. Find the most vibrant pink shelves you can and hang them proudly. The furniture store in the mall is a good bet.
- Monochromatic Towels and Baskets: Stick to the theme! Stock your shelves with an array of pink towels—from pale rose to deep fuchsia. The same goes for your laundry baskets.
- Neon “Wash” Sign: If you can find a neon sign (sometimes in apartment packs or the mall), it adds a super cool, modern-retro vibe. A pink or white one would be perfect.
Putting ItAll Together
Start with your walls. I recommend a lighter pink, like a blush or baby pink, to serve as your base. Then, place your magnificent pink washing machine as the focal point. This is your queen; build her throne room.
Above the machine, hang your hot pink shelves. This is where the color layering comes in. Stock them with your monochromatic pink towels, arranged in a gradient from light to dark. On the floor, use a simple, fluffy white rug to break up all the pink and provide a soft texture. If you found a neon sign, hang it on the main wall for that “wow” factor. It’s over the top in the best way possible.
4. Mini Apartment Laundry Nook
Not all of us are building sprawling Toca mansions. Sometimes, you’re working with a cozy little apartment, and space is at a premium. This design is all about creating a functional, stylish, and super-compact laundry nook that proves you don’t need a huge room to have a great setup.
The key here is verticality and multi-functionality. We’re building up, not out.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Stackable Washer/Dryer: This is the most important element. Find the unit where the dryer sits on top of the washer. It’s the ultimate space-saver and is available in the standard Home Designer inventory.
- Tall, Skinny Shelving Unit: Look for a shelving unit that is more vertical than horizontal. You can tuck this right beside your stacked machines to hold all your detergents and supplies. The modern apartment furniture packs are great for this.
- Fold-Down Ironing Board: Some packs include an ironing board that can be folded and hung on the wall. This is a game-changer for small spaces.
- Wall Hooks: Simple, effective, and barely take up any room. Use them to hang laundry bags, a small dustpan, or even a folded step stool.
- Under-Shelf Baskets: Find baskets that can be hung from the bottom of a shelf, effectively doubling your storage without taking up more wall space.
Putting It All Together
Designate a small corner or a closet-sized space for your nook. Place the stackable washer/dryer unit against the wall. Right next to it, slide in your tall, skinny shelving unit. This immediately creates a compact and organized “laundry column.”
On the adjacent wall, mount your fold-down ironing board. Below it, add a row of wall hooks. This is your utility zone. If you have a shelf above the machines, attach some under-shelf baskets to hold smaller items like dryer sheets or stain remover pens. The aesthetic here is clean and efficient, so stick to a simple color palette like white, grey, and a single accent color like blue or yellow.

5. Cute Cat-Theme Laundry Room
Let’s be honest, everything is better with cats. So why should the laundry room be any different? This theme is for the feline fanatics who want to pay homage to our furry overlords in every corner of their Toca home.
This is less about a specific color palette and more about incorporating as many cat-related items as possible without it looking like a crazy cat lady’s hoard (or maybe that’s exactly the look we’re going for, no judgment here).
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Paw Print Decals or Wallpaper: Check the Home Designer for wallpapers with subtle animal prints. If you can’t find one, use a plain wall and scatter paw print decals, which are often in the kids’ or pet-themed packs.
- Cat-Shaped Rug: A must-have. There are several adorable rugs shaped like cat heads or even the whole cat body. They instantly set the theme.
- Wall Art with Cats: Search for posters, paintings, or photos of cats. The post office and the art class at the university are great places to find quirky wall decor. I once found a poster of a cat wearing glasses, and it was a masterpiece.
- A “Laundry Cat”: Place a small cat bed and a food bowl in the corner. Obviously, your Toca character can’t actually have a cat that lives in the laundry room, but we can pretend, can’t we? It’s all about storytelling.
- Fish-Shaped Storage: Look for any containers or even decorative items shaped like fish to use as playful accents on your shelves.
Putting It All Together
Start with your paw print wallpaper or decals. Place your washing machine, then immediately put the cat-shaped rug in front of it. On the wall above the machine, create a small gallery wall with two or three pieces of your favorite cat art.
In a cozy corner, set up your “laundry cat” station with the cat bed and food bowl. On your shelves, mix in your laundry supplies with a few cat toys or the fish-shaped decorative items. It’s whimsical, it’s fun, and it’s a conversation starter. IMO, it’s one of the most personality-filled designs you can do.
6. Soft Lavender Laundry Space
If pink is too loud and blue is too common, may I present the unsung hero of the pastel family: lavender. A lavender-themed laundry room is calming, sophisticated, and just a little bit magical. It feels like doing laundry in a field of flowers in Provence, France. Or, you know, the Toca equivalent.
This design is about creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. It’s the perfect antidote to a stressful Toca day (like when you accidentally delete a character you just spent an hour designing… we’ve all been there :/ ).
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Lavender Wall Paint: The most crucial element. Go into the Home Designer and find that perfect shade of light purple. It should be soft and grey-toned, not a bright, Barney-the-dinosaur purple.
- White Appliances and Furniture: White provides a crisp, clean contrast to the soft lavender. White machines, white shelves, and a white laundry basket will make the purple pop beautifully.
- Dried Lavender Bouquets: Find the small floral arrangements or single stems of what looks like lavender or other purple flowers. Place them in small, simple vases on your shelves. You can often find these in home stores or even the grocery store.
- Wicker or Natural Fiber Baskets: The natural texture of wicker or jute baskets adds a rustic, organic touch that pairs perfectly with the floral theme.
- Silver or Chrome Accents: Use silver-framed pictures or chrome-finished soap dispensers to add a touch of modern elegance.
Putting It All Together
Paint all four walls in that beautiful lavender shade. This creates a fully immersive, calming environment. Place your pristine white washer and dryer against one wall. Above them, install simple white floating shelves.
On these shelves, artfully arrange your accessories. Place a wicker basket for supplies next to a small vase holding a dried lavender bouquet. Use another shelf for neatly folded white towels. The key is to keep the decor minimal and intentional. A single, elegant art print with a silver frame can complete the look. It’s chic, grown-up, and oh-so-relaxing.
7. Bright Color Pop Laundry Room
For those who find pastels a bit too sleepy and neutrals a total snooze-fest, the Bright Color Pop design is your wake-up call. This theme is all about a clean, neutral base punctuated by bold, electrifying hits of color. It’s modern, energetic, and full of confidence.
Think of an art gallery: white walls, and then BAM! A single, shocking piece of modern art. That’s the vibe we’re channeling here.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Neutral Base: Your canvas will be white, light grey, or even black walls and floors. You need a quiet background to make your colors scream.
- A Single, Boldly Colored Appliance: This is the move. Instead of white or silver, opt for that bright yellow, teal, or red washing machine. It becomes the instant star.
- Monochromatic Accent Pieces: Once you’ve chosen your pop color (let’s say, electric blue), commit to it. Find shelves, baskets, and even a trash can in that exact same shade.
- Graphic Art Print: Find a modern, abstract art print that features your chosen pop color. This ties the whole room together.
- Black or White Rug: Use a simple black or white geometric rug to ground the space without competing with your accent color.
Putting It All Together
Start with your neutral base. I personally love black walls for this look, as it makes bright colors feel even more vibrant. Place your boldly colored washing machine against the black wall. The contrast is immediately stunning.
Install simple white or black shelves. On these, place only items in your accent color. If you chose yellow, then you’ll have yellow storage boxes and maybe a yellow watering can with a plant. Hang your graphic art print prominently. Roll up some white towels and tie them with a ribbon in your pop color. It’s a high-impact, low-clutter design that feels incredibly intentional and cool.
8. Aesthetic Plant-Filled Laundry
Bring the outdoors in! A plant-filled laundry room, often dubbed a “laundry jungle,” is perfect for the Toca botanist. It turns a sterile utility space into a lush, living, breathing oasis. All that greenery is not only beautiful, but it also makes the room feel fresh and vibrant.
The goal is to cram in as many plants as you can without making it impossible to actually reach the washing machine. It’s a fine line, but we’re going to walk it stylishly.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Plants, Plants, and More Plants: This is obvious, but the variety is key. Get tall floor plants, small potted plants, hanging plants, and wall-mounted plants. The nursery, the mall, and various home packs are treasure troves for Toca flora.
- Natural Wood Tones: Shelves, benches, and storage crates made of light, natural wood complement the greenery perfectly.
- Terracotta and Ceramic Pots: Mix and match different pots to create a more authentic, collected look. Terracotta, patterned ceramic, and simple white pots all work well together.
- Macrame Plant Hangers: These are essential for the boho, plant-parent vibe. Hang them from the ceiling or from a high shelf to add vertical interest.
- Botanical Wall Art: Find art prints featuring leaves, flowers, or vintage botanical illustrations to really drive the theme home.
Putting It All Together
I suggest a simple white or light green wall to make the plants stand out. After placing your washer and dryer, start adding the green. Place a tall floor plant like a monstera or a fiddle leaf fig in one corner.
Install your natural wood shelves and load them up with a variety of small potted plants. Mix succulents, ferns, and leafy plants. Hang a macrame plant hanger with a trailing ivy plant in another corner. You can even use wall-mounted planters to create a living “green wall.” Place a wooden bench under a window (if you have one) and line it with more pots. Just be sure to leave a clear path to the machines!
9. Cozy Night-Light Laundry Room
This idea is a bit different. It’s not about the decor you see in the bright light of day, but about creating a space that feels magical and cozy at night. By using lots of different light sources, you can create a warm, inviting, and almost secret-hideout feel.
It’s perfect for a basement laundry room or for creating a moody, atmospheric moment in your Toca story.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Dark Wall Colors: Think deep navy blue, charcoal grey, or even a dark forest green. This will make your light sources glow.
- String Lights / Fairy Lights: The MVP of cozy lighting. Drape them across a wall, wrap them around a shelf, or stuff them in a glass jar.
- Lava Lamp or Novelty Lamp: A lava lamp adds a groovy, retro, and hypnotic glow. You can often find these in teen room furniture sets or at the mall.
- Small Table Lamps: Instead of harsh overhead lighting, use one or two small lamps with warm-toned bulbs to create soft pools of light.
- Candles (the Toca-safe kind): Scatter a few decorative candles (the unlit kind, for safety!) on shelves to add to the ambiance. Some packs even have battery-operated LED candles.
Putting It All Together
Paint your walls a deep, dark color. This is essential for the “night” feel. Once your machines are in place, turn off the main Toca “room light” to see what you’re working with.
Now, start painting with light. Drape string lights above the washer and dryer. Place a lava lamp on a small table in the corner and switch it on. Add a small table lamp on a shelving unit. The goal is to have multiple small, warm light sources instead of one big, bright one. The interplay of shadows and light will make the room feel incredibly intimate and cozy. It’s a laundry room that doubles as a relaxation zone.

10. Candy-Color Laundry Room
If the pastel rainbow is too soft and the color pop is too focused, the candy-color theme is your happy medium. This is all about using bright, cheerful, and sugary-sweet colors in combination. Think of a bag of Skittles or a stroll through a candy shop.
The palette is your playground: bubblegum pink, lemon yellow, lime green, and aqua blue all living together in happy, vibrant harmony.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Striped or Polka Dot Wallpaper: Use a wallpaper that incorporates several of your chosen candy colors. A bold, colorful stripe is a fantastic choice.
- Mismatched Colorful Shelves: Don’t stick to one color. Use a yellow shelf, a pink shelf, and a blue shelf all on the same wall. It’s chaotic good.
- Gumball Machine: Yes, a gumball machine. It’s the perfect, whimsical accessory for a candy-themed room. You can sometimes find them in the arcade or kids’ stores.
- Colorful Storage Containers: Use bright, solid-colored bins and baskets for all your storage. Assign one color per shelf for a bit of organized chaos.
- A “Sweet” Art Print: Look for a fun pop-art print of a cupcake, a donut, or an ice cream cone.
Putting It All Together
Go wild with the colorful wallpaper. This is not a time for subtlety. Place your washer and dryer (a white or silver one works best to not compete with the walls). Now, install your mismatched colorful shelves above the machines.
This is where the fun begins. Stock the yellow shelf with blue towels, the blue shelf with pink towels, and the pink shelf with yellow towels. The color clash is the whole point! Place your gumball machine in a prominent corner. On the floor, use brightly colored laundry baskets. It’s a sugar rush for the eyes, and it’s guaranteed to make you smile.
11. Modern Minimal Cute Laundry
“Minimal” doesn’t have to mean “boring.” This design philosophy marries the clean lines and uncluttered space of modern minimalism with a touch of cuteness. It’s for the person who loves organization and simplicity but still wants their space to have a bit of heart.
The motto here is “less but better… and also, make it cute.”
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Sleek, Integrated Appliances: Look for the most modern-looking washer and dryer, preferably in a silver or graphite grey finish. If you can build them into a cabinet, even better.
- Floating Shelves: Use simple, unadorned floating shelves in a color that matches the wall to create a seamless look.
- Monochromatic Color Scheme: Stick to a palette of white, grey, and black.
- The “Cute” Element: This is the twist. In this sea of minimalism, you’ll add one or two intentionally cute items. A single, tiny, smiling plant pot. A small, artful figurine of a cartoon character. A single poster with a simple, cute graphic.
- Labeled Glass Jars: For a clean, organized look, decant your laundry powder and pods into clear glass jars with minimalist black-and-white labels.
Putting It All Together
Start with a clean, monochromatic canvas. White or very light grey walls are ideal. Install your sleek, modern appliances. Above them, hang your floating shelves, ensuring they are perfectly level and spaced.
On these shelves, practice restraint. Place your labeled glass jars of detergent. Neatly stack a few perfectly folded white towels. Now, for the magic. On one corner of a shelf, place your chosen “cute” element. Maybe it’s that tiny smiling succulent. It will stand out against the minimal background, its cuteness amplified by the simplicity around it. It’s a design wink, a little secret spark of joy in an otherwise serene space.
12. Playful Toy-Style Laundry Room
Let’s lean into the fact that Toca Boca is, at its heart, a giant digital dollhouse. This design concept makes the laundry room look like it belongs in a toy set, with primary colors, chunky shapes, and a playful, imaginative feel.
It’s about embracing the blocky, fun nature of the Toca art style and running with it.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Primary Color Palette: We’re talking bold, classic Lego colors: bright red, yellow, and blue.
- Blocky, “Plastic-Looking” Furniture: Look for furniture that has a chunky, molded-plastic appearance. The kids’ room furniture sets are perfect for this.
- Toy-Like Appliances: Some of the washing machines in Toca have a very simple, almost cartoonish design with big, round buttons. These are perfect.
- Large, Simple Shape Decals: Use the Home Designer to add large circles, squares, or triangles in primary colors to a plain white wall.
- Toy Storage Bins: Use the classic, brightly colored toy bins for your laundry baskets.
Putting It All Together
Start with a white wall and then add your large, simple shape decals. A big red circle here, a blue square there. It should feel like a page out of a children’s book. Place your toy-like washing machine.
Instead of traditional shelves, use a chunky, yellow plastic-looking shelving unit. For storage, use a red toy bin for dirty clothes and a blue toy bin for clean ones. The whole room should feel like you could shrink down and play in it. It’s a fun, nostalgic, and creative take that fully embraces the spirit of Toca Life World.
13. Small Space Storage Laundry
This is the big brother to the Mini Apartment Nook. This design is for anyone who looks at their Toca space and thinks, “I am a master of organization.” It’s less about a specific aesthetic and more about a brilliant, storage-packed layout. It’s for the person who gets a thrill from finding the perfect bin for the perfect shelf.
Every single item in this room has a purpose, and every square inch is utilized. It’s Tetris, but with laundry supplies.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Wall-to-Wall Shelving: Go big. Install shelves that span the entire length of the wall above your machines.
- Clear, Stackable Bins: Clear bins are a storage-lover’s dream. You can see what’s inside, and they create a clean, uniform look.
- Label Maker: Okay, Toca doesn’t have a label maker, but we can pretend. Arrange your bins and items as if they’ve been meticulously labeled: “Detergent Pods,” “Dryer Sheets,” “Single Socks” (because we need a bin for those!).
- Pegboard Wall: This is a holy grail item for organization. If you find a pegboard in any of the packs, claim it. It’s perfect for hanging brushes, scissors, and small baskets. The DIY-themed packs or garages are good places to look.
- A Rolling Cart: A small, three-tiered rolling cart can be tucked beside your machines and loaded with your most-used supplies for easy access.
Putting It All Together
This is all about the build. Start with your machines, then install your wall-to-wall shelving. If you have a pegboard, mount it on a free wall.
Now, organize. Fill your clear, stackable bins with different supplies and arrange them neatly on the shelves. Use your rolling cart as a mobile station for stain treatment. Hang everything you can. The goal is to get as much as possible off the floor and onto the walls in a neat, orderly fashion. The resulting look is incredibly satisfying and makes you feel like you’ve conquered clutter once and for all.
14. Fairy Light Laundry Room
Similar to the Cozy Night-Light room but with a more whimsical, magical, and feminine touch. The fairy light room is less about a “night” vibe and more about creating a perpetual state of enchanted twilight. It’s soft, dreamy, and utterly magical.
This is for the Toca player who believes a little bit of sparkle makes everything better. And they’re not wrong.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Fairy Lights (Obviously): You’ll need at least two or three sets. Look for the delicate, wire-style string lights.
- Sheer Curtains: Even if you don’t have a window, you can hang sheer, white, or sparkly curtains against a wall to create a soft, ethereal backdrop.
- Mirrors: Mirrors will reflect the fairy lights, making the room feel brighter and more magical. A vintage-style mirror with an ornate frame is a great choice.
- Crystal or Glass Objects: Place a few glass jars, perfume bottles, or crystal-like objects on your shelves. They will catch the light beautifully.
- Fluffy Rug: A soft, white, or cream-colored fluffy rug enhances the dreamy, cloud-like texture of the room.
Putting It All Together
Start with a soft wall color, like a pale blue, pink, or even a simple off-white. Hang your sheer curtains along one wall. Now, drape fairy lights over the curtain rod, allowing them to hang down with the fabric. Drape another set of lights around a large mirror on the opposite wall.
Place your fluffy white rug on the floor. On your shelves, arrange your glass and crystal objects so they are near the lights. When you turn on the lights, the entire room will have a soft, twinkling glow. It’s a laundry room fit for a fairy queen.
15. Cute Family Laundry Room
Finally, a laundry room that feels like it’s actually used by a family. This design is a bit messy, a lot lived-in, and full of personal, chaotic charm. It’s not about perfection; it’s about telling the story of a busy, happy Toca family.
This is the most realistic and relatable design, and it’s a great way to use all those random items you’ve collected.
Key Elements & Where to Find Them
- Kid’s Artwork: The ultimate personal touch. Grab some of the children’s drawings from the school or daycare and tape them to the wall or stick them on the washing machine with a magnet.
- Multiple Laundry Baskets: One for colors, one for whites, and one that’s just overflowing. Realism, people!
- A “Lost Sock” Board: Hang a small corkboard and pin a single, lonely sock to it. It’s a fun, quirky detail.
- Step Stool: A small stool left out, ostensibly for a Toca kid who is “helping” with the laundry.
- Random Clutter: A stray soccer ball in the corner, a half-finished drink on a shelf, a jacket slung over a chair. This is organized chaos.
Putting It All Together
This design is more about “stuff” than style. Start with a durable, simple look—maybe a light blue wall and a tile floor. Place your washer and dryer. Now, make it feel lived-in.
Tape a piece of kid’s artwork right onto the dryer. Line up your three laundry baskets, making sure one is comically full. Place the step stool in front of a machine. Set up your “Lost Sock” board on the wall. Then, add the little touches of life. A backpack on the floor. A stack of mail on a shelf. It might not win any design awards, but it will feel like a real, loving home.
