SPACE AND DESIGN

 

A laundry renovation aims to achieve a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics, catering to the various tasks involved in laundering, such as washing, drying, and ironing clothes. 

When planning the design and layout of your laundry area, it’s essential to give careful thought to storage and utility requirements. Depending on the available space, a laundry renovation can either entail creating a dedicated laundry room or integrating it with another part of your home to optimize space utilization. 

Dedicated Laundry Rooms – If you are fortunate to have a spacious laundry room, we will transform it into an organized haven. Your laundry area will be well-equipped with essential storage solutions for cleaning products and equipment, including vacuums, buckets mops and brooms. Designed with style in mind, this space will not only enhance functionality but also create an environment that makes laundry day more enjoyable. 

Combination Space – For those working with limited space, favouring minimalist design, or seeking multi-functional areas, here are some clever ways to optimize your laundry setup:

 

European Laundry  

Originating in France, European-style laundries were traditionally concealed within kitchen cupboards, perfect for compact living space. Today, they are a versatile option for homes, fitting seamlessly into hallway closets, be tucked beneath kitchen countertops, or even nestled under staircases – making the most of spaces often overlooked in traditional designs. 

 

 

Bathroom:  Shared bathroom and laundry spaces aren’t just for apartments. Concealing a washer/dryer combo within cabinetry that that complements your bathroom vanity offers a stylish and space-saving solution for inner-city homes and beyond. 

 

Mudrooms: Ideal for rural properties, homes in snowy regions, or beachside retreats, mudrooms offer a natural place for a laundry setup, integrating seamlessly into a high-traffic, functional area.

 

Butler’s Pantry: If you are fortunate to have a butler’s pantry space, incorporating a concealed washer and dryer here is a practical choice. Given that the washer and dryer are already discreetly placed, open cabinetry is typically all that’s needed to complete the setup, ensuring a functional yet elegant addition to your home. 

RENOVATION PROCESS

 

The process for a laundry renovation is quite similar to that of a kitchen renovation. Therefore we are also able to offer a trades coordination service,  as well as installation of your cabinetry and benchtops, while you can purchase your own appliances such as sink and taps.

Many clients choose to renovate their kitchen and laundry together with us, allowing for cohesive design across both spaces. It is usually more cost-effective, as you only need to go through the entire process once, including site measurement, delivery, installation, and trades visits.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

 

The cost of a Laundry Renovation varies based on design choices and space requirements. 

For a separate laundry room with dedicated cabinetry and storage, budgets typically range between $12,000 and $25,000. A reasonable budget for the custom cabinetry and benchtop would fall between $8,000 to $15,000.
