Aim for ample storage Storage space will be your best friend in a busy laundry. Consider a winning combination of cupboards, overhead storage, drawers and possibly a tall cupboard for brooms and mops. Design around your appliances If you know the size of your washing machine, dryer or other appliances, you can design your cabinetry around them, for seamless integration into your laundry design. It’s all about the layout Ensure there’s enough space to move around comfortably (reduce bending and crouching if possible). Design your space to streamline the workflow and reduce double handling. Consider a theme for cabinets and benchtops Could your kitchen and laundry’s looks share a theme? Tying in the aesthetic across your cabinetry and benchtops can create a nice flow and consistency between spaces. Have a think about the sink! Who knew there were so many sink options - from undermount to drop-in. You could even consider two sinks side by side. Think colour, material, size, visual appeal and functionality. Little details, big impact Here are some other details to muse - pull-out laundry bins, an ironing centre, an air dryer, a rail to hang wet clothes and of course, enough deep bench space to fold that laundry! External access, lighting and ventilation Think skyhigh! Make sure you have adequate lighting in your laundry through windows or a skylight, and good ventilation through one or more windows and/or an exhaust fan.
