White recessed cabinetry with a closet rod for those items that cannot go in your dryer. This is a semi custom line of white melamine box cabinets, which in this line the standard white painted doors is a close enough match that it appears you have finished bottoms on the upper cabinets. Which is really nice instead of seeing a different colour of melamine on the bottoms of upper cabinets - we find this line works really well when we are completing a mudroom/laundry area. Adjusted the laundry base cabinet height so that the Caesarstone's Himalayan Moon quartz counter could be just one height - more convenient for whatever you might do on the one counter with the sink on the same level. But obviously a great place to quickly fold clothes coming out of the dryer.

Laundry Storage

Interior Design By Jo

The client wanted a space that was inviting and functional as the existing laundry was cramped and did not work. The existing external door was changed to a window allowing space for under bench pull out laundry baskets, condensor drier and washing machine and a large ceramic laundry sink. Cabinetry on the left wall included a tall cupboard for the ironing board, broom and mop, open shelving for easy access to baskets and pool towels, lower cupboards for storage of cleaning products, extra towels and pet food, with high above cabinetry at the same height as those above the work bench. The cabinetry had a 2pak finish in the vivid green with a combination of finger pull and push open for doors and laundry basket drawer. The Amazonia Italian splashback tile was selected to complement the cabinetry, external garden and was used on the wood fired pizza oven, giving the wow factor the client was after.

Laundry Room Design Ideas with Porcelain 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.

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.
