is this an existing room, a proposed renovation to an existing house or plans for a new building, please include plans and measurements of all surrounding rooms

Does your dryer need to be ducted to outdoors?

One of two large drawers under-bench (close to WM) for dirty laundry would be handy, and a drawer or upper cabinet to store cleaning products.

as OK said it would be best to include plan with measurements for best input, as it is ,it's not working.

You need to minimise your corner cupboards as they are inefficient for storage in the laundry, and you have two of them which are inaccessible. Currently the two doors open against a wall. If you can move the doors away from the bedroom robe then you have an opportunity to use the wall against the robe for storage, possibly some shallow cupboards for brooms and cleaning supplies. If there was a whole house plan, and some information if this was a new build, or renovation, it would mean more informed answers.

Is there potential to relocate doors so they're 'centred' in the walls. That way you can have a wall of storage and a wall of plumbing and benches or are we stuck with doors in these locations?

without measurements and using the square laundry I suggest the following, entering the laundry on the left is a single full height cupboard that can be used for linen or brooms etc, next to that is a 1200 straight corner full height cabinet which you can step into (you can check these out online with Bunnings. Running along the back wall are base cabinet drawers suitable for dirty linen, we did this in an office kitchen with plastic bin inserts to take rubbish in one and recycle in another. Open shelves or with doors above 400 deep above the drawers that can also take linen or other

Washing machine, sink and bench space on other wall with a rack above to hang clothes to dry, great if there was a window in that exterior wall. cheers

Thank you, I totally agree - corners aren't good for storage, unfortunately I cant centre or move the doors as they flow in from an existing hallway through to outside. I was thinking of having the tub, washing machine and dryer on the opposite side of where the entry doors are, allowing two full length cupboards on the other two walls. But still cant work it out in my head or on paper, everything opens up onto itself.

siriuskey wow that looks like it may work, thank you so much I can visualize it now, plus only one corner. Where would I pout my dryer? Under bench or on the wall?

Dryer on the wall above the washing machine and ducted to outside (F&P have a kit) up into the ceiling and out through the eaves

You would have a second, base corner cabinet which would run back towards the sink wall, this layout gives you a whole wall minus door of full height storage and l shaped bench for folding and washing linen, is there a window?

siriuskey No window, external door will be glass. Are you saying on the 2425 wall full height cupboards, with tub, washing machine and dryer above on the 2885 wall where the external door is, bench, cupboards, rack above tub and dryer wall mounted? I am trying to draw this up but cant figure out those pesky corners - grrrrr its doing my head in.

2885 wall opposite washing machine is full height cupboards, what size is your washing machine

my suggestion, probably similar to siriusky without base corners, has about 2.4 m of Lshaped counter with a *narrow drop in sink on the short arm, open underneath (without any corner cabinets) and 750mm wide drawers or cabinets near the glass door..space for a stacked (or top mount and wall hung) washer and dryer between the sink and blind corner for tall cabinet for vacuum, ironing board etc with shelves above and tall shallow end cabinet storage for linen? .. almost 2m of standard wall cabinets and a drip drying rack over the sink...there should be space for all the usual laundry supplies and equipment including twin tall clothes basket under the open bench and potential ceiling height storage above the ironing board for suitcases, xmas storage etc...*the narrow drop in sink is to allow a little more generous width for the stacked washer and dryer although reducing the tall storage cabinet to 500mm deep would also allow for a wider sink cabinet and doors and shelves in the tall cabinets should be sized to suit the items to be stored ie ironing board, vacuum and brooms should fit under about 1200mm and the blind corner should be for storage of the rarely used steamer or carper shampooer etc) and storage of vacuum cleaner hoses and ironing boards can be made much easier with specifically designed hanging racks to be attached to the wall inside the storage cabinets and available from IKEA etc...

I really appreciate your input, as I mentioned those corners are really doing my head in :) I cant visualize it and all i get is cupboards opening up onto another and dead spots.

Hi MJM, I have just drawn the floor base units without any wall units in the following plan to give you a better idea of the simple floor plan, this shows the Washing machine & dryer stacked with the sink next and then a corner cabinet the door to this opens back towards the sink. Then double draws for dirty linen, these can be replaced with laundry baskets on wheels that can be pushed under the bench, Freedom used to keep them. Next to the drawers on the 2885 wall is the tall corner cabinet 1200, this door opens back towards the drawers, next to this is an 80cm 2 door tall cabinet. All tall cabinets have 40cm doors. Access to the corner cabinets is made easy by making the shelves "L" shaped so that you can actually step into them.

All cabinets are 60cm deep/ wide on the floor space. I will do another drawing to show wall units and hanging space, the wall units along the wall above the draws can be full height 40cm deep with stacker doors which will give great linen storage and a place to put stuff down which can be a problem and I usually end up using the top of my washing machine. (the washer and dryer are stacked )cheers

This view will give you a better idea of how it will look with tall bi fold doors to linen cupboard, the drying rack would have to be suspended, the cabinet above the washing machine represents the dryer and a full wall of storage opposite the washing machine for whatever you need to store, ie brooms, vacuum, and plenty of bedding. cheers

This can be swapped over which would put the washing machine on the opposite wall cheers
