The laundry might not be the most glamorous room in your home, but a smart layout can make everyday tasks feel a whole lot easier. Whether you’re designing a compact space or a generous utility room, here are a few things to consider:
Top Loader vs Front Loader
Your choice of washing machine will influence your bench space and cabinetry. Front loaders allow for benchtops above for folding and sorting, while top loaders need clearance above — but are often preferred for their ease of use and quick wash times.
Laundry Chute
If you’re building a two-storey home, a laundry chute can be a game-changer. It’s convenient, keeps dirty clothes off the floor, and saves you multiple trips downstairs.
Hampers and Sorting
Incorporate built-in hampers to keep dirty laundry out of sight and make sorting simple. Consider dividing by colours or family members if space allows.
Hanging Rails
A built-in hanging rail above the bench or in a tall cabinet is perfect for air-drying delicate items or hanging shirts straight from the dryer to avoid creasing.
Tall Storage
Make sure your cabinetry includes space for tall items like brooms, vacuum cleaners, mops, and ironing boards. A tall broom cupboard or utility cabinet helps keep everything tidy and within reach.
