Laundry back door makeover

Laundry/Back Door Makeover - converting the original laundry room into a home office

 

As part of our home renovation, we planned to relocate the laundry and turn the original laundry room into a home office.

In order to allow more natural light into the room, we replaced the original solid door for a Hume glass door. We sanded, primed, painted and then attached new door hinges and hardware. The DIY project was a great way to transform the room from the old, dark laundry room that it was.

 

Details of what we used:

 

Door: Hume Entrance Door Clear Glass from Bunnings

Paint: Dulux Exterior Weathershield Semi Gloss Vivid White from Bunnings

Door Handle: Lemaar Satin Chrome Metz Entrance Set from Bunnings

Deadbolt: Lane Satin Stainless Steel Single Cylinder Deadbolt from Bunnings

Door Seal: Raven Anodised Automatic Weather Door Seal from Bunnings

Wow, what a lovely office space @homeinmelbourne! That Hume door really made a world of difference. Those shutters and wainscotting are also nice touches. I bet it's a pleasant location to work within.

 

Where did you end up shifting the laundry?

 

Many thanks for sharing.

Hi @MitchellMc , thank you very much! The Hume door is great. It lets in so much light and was so affordable.

 

We converted a linen/storage cupboard in the hallway into a 'euro laundry' cupboard: Cupboard converted into Euro Laundry.
