WFMW: Camouflaging My Laundry Room

Due to it's location, I wanted to come up with an idea of how to camouflag my laundry room.

My laundry room is a little walk-through room the leads from my living room to the garage that is barely wide enough for my washer and dryer. Several months ago we converted our garage, turning it into a bedroom for our son, and since that meant there would be a lot more traffic through my laundry room, I really wanted to think of a way to make it look less like a laundry room.

Inspiration hit one night and I thought of using an old set of drapes to solve my problem. I figured that if I put the drapes up in front of the washer/dryer, the room wouldn't look like a laundry room anymore, yet the washer/dryer would still be completely accessible. It worked great!

Since putting up the drapes in the laundry room, I have had a few people, thinking the drapes are a shower curtain, ask whether the room is a bathroom, but I'm still very happy with how it's turned out. My goal was accomplished—to camouflage the laundry room.

So that works for me! What works for you?
