Bedroom Suite

Tate Enterprises

In this garage addition we created a 5th bedroom, bathroom, laundry room and kids sitting room, for a young family. The architecture of the spaces offers great ceiling angles but were a challenge in creating usable space especially in the bathroom and laundry room. In the end were able to achieve all their needs. This young family wanted a clean transitional look that will last for years and match the existing home. In the laundry room we added a porcelain tile floor that looks like cement tile for ease of care. The brass fixtures add a touch of sophistication for all the laundry the kids create. The bathroom we kept simple but stylish. Beveled white subway tile in the shower with white cabinets, a porcelain tile with a marble like vein, for the flooring, and a simple quartz countertop work perfectly with the chrome plumbing fixtures. Perfect for a kid’s bath. In the sitting room we added a desk for a homework space and built-in bookshelves for toy storage. The bedroom, currently a nursery, has great natural light and fantastic roof lines. We created two closets in the eves and organizers inside to help maximize storage of the unusual space. Our clients love their newly created space over their garage.

Galley 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.

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.
