Laundry reno (Iso project)

[Jimi]

After Before

After ripping out the old sink cupboard and wall tiles, I decided to utilise all space available in the Laundry to make it a productive and enjoyable space. From Bunnings I got the Flatpax cupboards, subway tiles and grout, whilst the bench top and shelves I utilised a local cabinet maker to match the bench tops with what I have in my study. The complete project cost approx $1300 (not including the washing machine upgrade) and my wife is loving the two laundry chutes.

Hi Jimi.

What an enormous transformation that was! The new layout looks extremely functional and must make it a pleasure to be utilising the space.

Many thanks for sharing your laundry reno as I'm sure it will inspire many community members with the results.

Well done on a fantastic finish and we look forward to seeing the next project around your home or garden.

Looks fabulous Jimi. I especially like that you've added that storage up top above the counter space. Very smart look all round. Congrats. 

Husband and I talk about doing something like this, but I notice there's a difference between talking and actually doing. !  

This might be the inspiration we need. 

Thanks.

By the way, did you get those cupboards up top from Bunnings also?

your  Laundry  is  exactly  the  way  I think  all  laundries  should  be,  as a  starting point -  a  long bench.  It is also  why I prefer  front  loading washers.  A  long  bench  and  plenty  of  built in storage  allows all  the  laundry  products to be hidden way.  And  space  on the bench  to get things done.

My  long bench  arrangement is very similar to  yours.

Except   I went  for a stone bench top  to  match  the  adjacent  kitchen. 

I love  the  look of your bench - the  timber  looks  perfect  and  your  tile  choice  is  excellent. too.

Designers  of  Project homes please take  note.

Thanks Suzie! The long bench top allows a place to fold clothes (instead of using the spare room that will be soon for a second little one on the way). Thankfully behind the entrance door to the laundry there is a broom cupboard, otherwise this design would benefit by including a tall cupboard space.
