This utility room (and WC) was created in a previously dead space. It included a new back door to the garden and lots of storage as well as more work surface and also a second sink. We continued the floor through. Glazed doors to the front and back of the house meant we could get light from all areas and access to all areas of the home.

The laundry room is a narrow space that needs utility storage as well as a pantry. New full height cabinets are to the left of the new washer and dryer, and a new base and wall cabinet are on the right. The opposite wall contained the original utility closet. This was modified with new shelves and drawers to provide pantry storage. The original swinging door was replaced with a custom sliding barn door. New sun shades on the window and back door completes the new look. JRY & Co.

The space was essentially a mud room at the home’s back entry which over the years had been converted to a laundry area and small powder room. A recent renovation of the adjacent kitchen dictated that the flooring for this area would be the same cork, and as the powder room could be seen from the kitchen and dining area, it was important that the colour scheme flow cohesively from the family area. Counter space was maximized by placing the work surface in front of the window on the widest wall (82“) and increasing the counter depth to 30”. Shelving in the alcove, wall cabinet and under sink cabinet provides accessible hidden storage.

All Cabinet Finishes Laundry Room Design Ideas with Cork Floors

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.
