Crestview Kitchen

Jameson Design Group

This remodel embodies the goals of practical function and timeless elegance, both important for this family of four. Despite the large size of the home, the kitchen & laundry seemed forgotten and disjointed from the living space. By reclaiming space in the under-utilized breakfast room, we doubled the size of the kitchen and relocated the laundry room from the garage to the old breakfast room. Expanding the opening from living room to kitchen was a game changer, integrating both high traffic spaces and providing ample space for activity.

Bespoke Utility Boot Room

Christopher Howard

As part of a commission for a bespoke kitchen, we maximised this additional space for a utility boot room. The upper tier cabinets were designed to take a selection of storage baskets, while the tall counter slim cabinet sits in front of a pipe box and makes a great storage space for the client's selection of vases. Shoes are neatly stored out of the way with a bench in Oak above for a seated area.

In the practical utility/boot room a Dekton worktop was used and the cupboards were sprayed Hague Blue from Farrow and Ball. With a few simple accessories this practical room is more attractive.

Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts 2013: Laundry Room

GH Wood Design

GH Wood Design created a Laundry and Craft room for the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts 2013 that was both functional and pleasing to the eye. The laundry room is a place where a lot of time is spent so we wanted to create a space that was practical but still pretty. All the elements that are needed for a laundry room were provided, but in such a way that they could be hidden away while not in use. Such as: a pull out ironing board that is hidden in a drawer in between the dryers; and a pull down drying rack above the washing machine that is contained in a cabinet with doors that close when not in use. On the craft room side we created a custom inspiration board, as well as a custom chalk board that covers the utility box. Also on the craft room side is a drawer that houses wrapping paper on rods for easy and orderly access. The room is topped off with faux wood tile floors that give the feel and beauty of the natural material, but the practicality of tile in a room that is susceptible to leaks and spills.

Laundry Room Design Ideas with Quartzite Benchtops and Medium Hardwood 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.
