Laundry Renovation Tips

Careful consideration should be taken when designing the workhorse room of the house - the laundry. Whilst functionality is key, you want your laundry to look like an extension of the living areas of your home with similar finishes creating a seamless flow.

Here’s our essential tips for creating a laundry which is both beautiful and functional //

Ventilation and Light

With washing and drying a priority, adequate ventilation from windows and exhaust fans are paramount. Good task lighting and natural light also helps with functionality of the room.

Clever storage

Well designed joinery makes the most of even the smallest laundry spaces. Tall utility cupboards, hidden laundry hampers and pull out ironing boards are just some of the clever ways to maximise space. To hide away clutter, you can incorporate pocket doors or overhead cabinets for more storage.

Plenty of bench space

Homeowners needs plenty of bench space for folding and dumping clothes. Don’t forget to maximise your bench space for these tasks.

Incorporate a dedicated drying area

Hanging space for clothes to dry is essential and should be incorporated in to your laundry design. Overhead rails for shirts and pull out drying racks from the wall or ceiling provide great space saving ideas.

Ease of cleaning

Selecting durable finishes which are easy to clean is recommended. Neutral tones will have the greatest longevity and hard wearing materials such as stainless steel, tiles and composite stones provide long lasting finishes.
