Gray remains a top choice for laundry room walls, providing a timeless and serene
backdrop. A soft gray for a whisper of sophistication, easily personalized with printed patterned tile flooring or Behr's bold 2024 Color of the Year, Cracked Pepper.
Sherwin-Williams' Rosebud for a touch of romance in laundry rooms. The dusty pink hue, paired with gold accents, adds a luxurious and warm atmosphere.

lighter accents or white fixtures, especially Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy, creates a bold choice that makes the laundry room stand out.
Dare to take a style risk in your laundry room with a pop of color. Opt for the subtle smoky lavender of Farrow & Ball's Peignoir for a neutral touch or go all-out glam
with Backdrop's dark and vampy McQueen, drawing inspiration from the famous fashion designer.

Tips to Harden Your Home During Wildfires Source: Cal Fire
ROOF
WINDOWS
Build your roof or re-roof with materials such as composition, metal, clay, or tile. Remove any vegetative debris from the roof.
Install dual-paned windows with one pane of tempered glass to reduce the chance of breakage in a fire.
VENTS
WALLS
Remove all openings with 1/16-inch to 1/4-inch metal mesh. Do not use fiberglass or plastic mesh because they can melt and burn.
Use ignition-resistant materials, such as stucco, fiber cement, wall siding, fire retardant, treated wood, etc.
EAVES + SOFFITS
DECKS
Eaves should be boxed in and protected with ignition-resistant or non-combustible materials.
Create an ember-resistant zone around and under all decks and clear debris from under your deck.
FENCES
CHIMNEY
Separate your fences from your house or upgrade the last 5 feet of the fence to a non-combustible material.
Close the fireplace during fire season when the chimney is not being used.
GUTTERS
PATIO COVER
Keep rain gutters clear or enclose rain gutters to prevent accumulation of plant debris.
Use the same ignitionresistant materials for patio coverings as a roof.
DRIVEWAY
DECKS
Driveways should be built and maintained in accordance with state and local codes to allow fire and emergency vehicles to reach your home. Consider maintaining access roads with a minimum of 10 feet of clearance on either side, allowing for two-way traffic.
Have a fire extinguisher and tools such as a shovel, rake, bucket, and hose available for fire emergencies.
