Steps

Step 1

The design 

We designed the laundry / powder room to maximise on wall storage as the room was only 1800mm long, which was largely the dryer and washing machine.

We also wanted to modernise the room adding some warmth and statement tiles.

Step 2

Demolition

We removed the original sink and got a plumber to move all the pluming to our preferred locations (under bench).

Step 3

Install upper cabinets

We then installed the upper cabinets and built some custom shelving around them. We also framed a portion on the wall above the sink area and installed some VJ panels for some depth and texture.

Step 4

Install lower cabinet  

We then installed the laminate benchtop and the bottom 450mm cabinet with a timber panel as a feature 

 

Step 5

Flooring 

We then installed the vinyl flooring planks over the existing tiles. 

Step 6

Tiling

I then completes the tiling. 

 

Step 7

Lighting

We then installed some rechargeable strip lighting behind the mirror to add some ambiance to the room.

Thank you @Noyade ! 

We are really happy with it. 

My mistake, it's the Practa range for both 300mm and 600mm. https://www.bunnings.com.au/flatpax-utility-300mm-1-door-wall-cupboard_p2668917

What a wonderful project and level of finish you've achieved there, @diy_hausdesigns. I trust you are exceptionally happy with the way it turned out. I love everything about your transformation, including the cabinet doors, benchtop, taps, handles and tiles; it all works so well together.

Well done and many thanks for sharing your steps and results. I trust your project will inspire many of our members to try something similar.
