Danny Broe Architect

Laundry under stairs - We designed the laundry under the new stairs and carefully designed the joinery so that the laundry doors look like wall panels to the stair. When closed the laundry disappears but when it's open it has everything in it. We carefully detailed the laundry doors to have the stair stringer so that your eye follows the art deco balustrade instead.

This corner laundry room is a fave... Entry door from garage and exterior door bring you into this bright, welcoming utility space. Drop your coat and bag off at the mud bench and walk through to the kitchen. Or the home owners have direct access door to the master closet (and master bath) for a quick shower after a game of golf or gardening!

The laundry room was placed between the front of the house (kitchen/dining/formal living) and the back game/informal family room. Guests frequently walked by this normally private area. Laundry room now has tall cleaning storage and custom cabinet to hide the washer/dryer when not in use. A new sink and faucet create a functional cleaning and serving space and a hidden waste bin sits on the right.

Kitchen and Laundry Remodel Salem, VA

Reico Kitchen & Bath

Designed by Darcie Duncan of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Salem, VA in collaboration with Danny Clinevell, this kitchen remodeling project features a transitional style inspired design. The kitchen features Ultracraft Cabinetry in the door style Clemont in a true mixture of two finishes, a Grey Opal paired with a Bright White finish is mixed throughout the entire design. Kitchen countertops and backsplash are Silestone in the color Calacatta Gold, complemented by a Kohler Vault sink and Kohler Simplice Faucet. Appliances were provided by others. The laundry remodel features Merillat Classic cabinets in the Portrait door style in a Cotton finish. “I love the Grey Opal textured cabinets that we incorporated on the wall section,” said Darcie. “They add character and interest while still keeping the kitchen light and bright, a subtle change from the all-white that we do so often. The full-height quartz backsplash and waterfall edge details make this kitchen feel luxurious.” Said the client, “The deep drawers and cabinets have added an amazing amount of storage space!” Photos courtesy of The Sowder Group LLC.

Laundry Room Design Ideas with Recessed-panel Cabinets and Engineered Quartz Splashback

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.
