Encinitas Hidden Foyer Laundry

La Costa Cabinets & Design

An open 2 story foyer also serves as a laundry space for a family of 5. Previously the machines were hidden behind bifold doors along with a utility sink. The new space is completely open to the foyer and the stackable machines are hidden behind flipper pocket doors so they can be tucked away when not in use. An extra deep countertop allow for plenty of space while folding and sorting laundry. A small deep sink offers opportunities for soaking the wash, as well as a makeshift wet bar during social events. Modern slab doors of solid Sapele with a natural stain showcases the inherent honey ribbons with matching vertical panels. Lift up doors and pull out towel racks provide plenty of useful storage in this newly invigorated space.

A LAUNDRY ROOM WITH GREAT BONES

Square Footage Inc.

In today's modern family home, the utility/laundry room has become the new must have space. This room must be functionally organized and well appointed. The go-to storage spot for life's messiest and untidiest bits. It had become the drop zone for coats, shoes, laundry, and the list went on........ With that being said, getting the storage solutions right was essential. Wall cabinets, open shelves, hooks and under-seat storage all combine to create flexible, useful spaces for an array of everyday items. The chevron tiles add a beautiful statement behind the custom drying rack.

Innenausbau und Einrichtung einer Stadtvilla in Leichlingen. Zu unseren Arbeiten gehören die Malerarbeiten und Fliesen- und Tischlerarbeiten. Diese wurden teilweise auch in Zusammenarbeit mit Lokalen Betrieben ausgeführt. Zudem ist auch der Grundriss architektonisch von uns Entscheidend beeinflusst worden. Das Innendesign mit Material und Möbelauswahl übernimmt meine Frau. Sie ist auch für die Farbenauswahl zuständig. Ich widme mich der Ausführung und dem Grundriss. Alle Holzelemente sind komplett in Eiche gehalten. Einige Variationen in Wildeiche wurden jedoch mit ins Konzept reingenommen.

Small 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. 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.
