Not necessarily true. Each dog is different. Shelby was about a year when she was left out of the crate unsupervised. Hudson may never be able to be left out. It's clear the OP's dog doesn't deserve free roam of the house, the dog also sounds bored and needs more mental and physical stimulation.
But to generalize that 15 months is too young is not true. It depends on the dog.
To the OP - buy a crate and learn how to use it. It's clear this dog has not earned the right to be out alone. Leaving her in a laundry room may work, but she also may get frustrated in there and chew/gnaw/scratch at the door. Crating is the best option IMO.
