Traditional Kitchen, Pantry, Laundry and Desk Design Aberdeen, NC

Reico Kitchen & Bath

Nancy Knickerbocker of Reico Kitchen and Bath in Southern Pines, NC designed multiple rooms for this project. This included the kitchen, pantry, laundry room and desk area, highlighting a traditional design style and featuring both Ultracraft Cabinetry and Merillat Classic Cabinetry. The kitchen features Ultracraft Winchester cabinets in an Artic White finish. The pantry showcases Merillat Classic cabinets in the Portrait door style with a Cotton finish. Both the laundry and desk areas include Merillat Classic Marlin cabinets in a Cotton White finish. Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold and Lagoon countertops are featured in all rooms. The client expressed their appreciation for Nancy saying, “She has a great eye for detail and worked with my vision, even improving on it. I wanted to keep the wood paneling in the kitchen and den and she worked with me on this little challenge. She was honest with me, stayed on the project, ensured our orders came in on time and made sure the cabinets were what we ordered.” “I love everything about my spacious new kitchen and my laundry room. It's like being in a new home every time I walk in the house. I needed Nancy to design a lovely spacious kitchen with a good flow plan and she did it beautifully,” said the client. Nancy explained how the project was more than moving a couple of doors and appliances. “In the original plan, the range was in a peninsula. The peninsula was removed and an island added. The new island design houses a microwave drawer, spice pullout, trash/recycle, three large drawers, ample working surface and seating! The door to the walk-in pantry was relocated to the hallway between the kitchen and laundry area. This allows for a convenient countertop beside the refrigerator and gives more open space entering the kitchen.” Photos courtesy of ShowSpaces Photography.

This house got a complete facelift! All trim and doors were painted white, floors refinished in a new color, opening to the kitchen became larger to create a more cohesive floor plan. The dining room became a "dreamy" Butlers Pantry and the kitchen was completely re-configured to include a 48" range and paneled appliances. Notice that there are no switches or outlets in the backsplashes. Mud room, laundry room re-imagined and the basement ballroom completely redone. Make sure to look at the before pictures!

Expansive U-shaped Laundry Room Design Ideas

Laundry designs seldom receive the attention they deserve, especially considering how often they’re used. A well-planned laundry, complete with built-in cabinets, a laundry sink, washing machine and clothes dryer, can serve many needs. It can help simplify your household chores; store drying clothes and cleaning products; and can even provide a spot for you to groom pets. Because of its hardworking, multipurpose potential, a laundry renovation is a worthwhile investment. Smart laundry designs have layouts that save you time and effort. For example, a washing machine and clothes dryer should be positioned next to one another or stacked, and laundry baskets and hampers should be within easy reach; while an ironing board should be stowed by a power point. Ample storage, bench space for laundry baskets and practical lighting are also essential. Browse the photos on Houzz for efficient laundry ideas, from layouts and storage to appliances, and strike up a conversation with the designers of your favourite laundry renovations.

How do I add storage to my laundry?

A combination of storage solutions is key to running an efficient laundry. Include shelves above or beside the washing machine to store washing detergent, softener and other cleaning products; and laundry bins for dirty clothes. Consider a custom-built cupboard for an ironing board, so it can easily fold out when you need it, or mount the ironing board directly to the wall or on the back of a door. A retractable clothesline is a handy addition to dry delicate clothes, while a clothes hanger mounted to the wall is ideal for hanging freshly pressed shirts.

What else can I use my laundry for?

Multipurpose laundry rooms or utility rooms can help save valuable space in your home. The laundry sink can be used to bathe your furry friends; your laundry cupboard can store sports equipment, gardening tools and umbrellas; and a spare nook can be filled with a desk and chair to create an office space while you wait for your load to finish. If your laundry is at the front of the house, consider using it as a drop station for mail, mobile phones and keys. Include a bench seat or stool, wall-mounted hooks for bags and a coat stand and it can even be used as a place to get the kids organised before you walk out the front door.

How can I decorate my laundry?

Laundries are usually filled to the brim with appliances and storage, so take advantage of your walls when decorating and use cheery paint colours or wallpaper to make doing the chores more pleasant! Fun signs, posters, murals and wall decals will also add character to the space. Think of your storage as decor, too – look for bins and baskets with decorative touches, and use brightly-coloured or patterned hangers.
