All right you guys—welcome to my 2026 smart laundry room. I’ll be honest: there’s not a ton you can do to make a laundry room “smart,” but I found a few upgrades that actually change how you use the space day to day. The biggest one by far is the Samsung Bespoke AI Vented Laundry Combo, because it’s a washer and dryer all rolled into one. You just throw your laundry in and don’t deal with it again until it’s washed and dry—no swapping loads, no extra steps. That alone completely changed the way we do laundry, and the 7-inch touchscreen makes it feel like a little command center with SmartThings controls, energy/water tracking, and even stuff like Spotify and YouTube. I also walk through the smaller quality-of-life upgrades that make the room feel way more “modern,” like a touchless Glacier Bay faucet (I can never go back), a Simplehuman sensor soap dispenser, and this wild ceiling light that does RGB, different modes, and has a built-in speaker for music while you’re folding. Then I get into my cleaning setup with the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine (vacuum + mop), plus the practical stuff: an ironing board holder, a compact drying rack/clothesline solution, and a fabric shaver that’s a low-key staple for sweater season.
