PLANNING A LAUNDRY RENOVATION?
7 Laundry Tips, Tricks and Design Secrets
1.FLOOR TO CEILING Laundry CABINETS
Maximise Your Laundry Space with Floor-to-Ceiling Cupboards
Floor-to-ceiling cupboards are an excellent solution for decluttering and hiding away those miscellaneous items that tend to accumulate in the laundry room—and throughout the home. By optimising vertical space, these cupboards offer a clean, streamlined look that makes the room feel more spacious. Opting for lighter-coloured doors can further enhance this effect by drawing the eye upwards, creating the illusion of a larger space.
Sydney-based laundry designer, German, recommends incorporating a mix of cupboards, shelving, and drawers within the same unit. This flexible approach allows you to customise storage to suit your specific needs. For a sleek, modern look, consider flat-style joinery, while shaker-style doors and panels lend a timeless, classic charm.
2. Concealed Laundry Hampers
Clean Lines and Clever Storage: Hidden Hampers for a Tidy Laundry
More Sydney designers are incorporating hidden hampers within cabinetry, discreetly placed for a streamlined look. The best spot for these concealed hampers is next to the washing machine, making it easy to sort and load laundry.
Allocating spaces for stylish, hidden hampers is a popular design choice, and you don’t have to stop at one. Consider installing two or three hampers side by side to separate whites, darks, and colours, ensuring everything is neatly sorted and out of sight. Now that’s organisation done right!
3. Pull Out Ironing Boards
Pull-Out Ironing Boards: A Game-Changer for Your Laundry
Forget about dragging out a cumbersome ironing board that takes up valuable space and always seems to be in the way. When it comes to reducing clutter, pull-out ironing boards are a trending solution that fits neatly into a cabinet, making them the perfect space-saving addition to any laundry renovation.
These boards are easy to pull out when you need to iron and slide back in seamlessly when you’re done. It’s a simple addition or modification to an existing laundry setup that can make a huge difference. Once you’ve experienced the convenience of a pull-out ironing board, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it!
4. Laundry Hang Rails
Hang Rails: Maximising Practicality in the Laundry
Practicality is key when it comes to laundry design. Installing a hang rail beneath overhead cupboards makes excellent use of otherwise unused space, providing a convenient spot for ironed clothes or extra hanging space on rainy days.
Hang rails are also perfect for hanging delicates straight out of the wash, and when paired with a sink beneath, they offer a practical setup for drip-drying garments. Integrating thoughtful features like this helps maximise the functionality of smaller laundry spaces, making every inch count.
5. LAUNDRY Tapware
Laundry Tapware: Adding a Touch of Glamour
Elevate your laundry with stylish tapware that brings a touch of luxury to the space. Brushed brass taps make a bold statement, offering a sophisticated, high-end look that instantly enhances the room’s appeal.
For a sleek, modern design, consider square neck taps that pair beautifully with square sinks, creating a clean and cohesive aesthetic. If you prefer something elegant yet highly practical, our designer-style gooseneck mixer is a perfect choice. Featuring a flexible hose in trending black, it makes washing bulky items—or even your beloved pet—much easier.
6. Doggie Tubs
Doggie Tubs: A Must-Have for Pet Owners
Pet owners are increasingly incorporating doggie tubs into their laundry rooms, and it’s easy to see why. The laundry is already the hub for cleaning, so adding a dedicated space to wash your furry friend just makes sense. A doggie tub eliminates the hassle of awkward washing methods and keeps the mess contained.
Once your pet is fluffed up and smelling fresh, you can toss the dirty towels straight into the wash—simple and efficient. It’s a practical addition that makes life easier for both you and your beloved pet.

7. Plants, Plants, Plants
Plants: Brighten Up Your Laundry Space
With the many hard lines and surfaces in a typical laundry, adding plants can bring warmth, texture, and a touch of nature to the room. Not only do they brighten up the space, but they also soften the overall look.
For a low-maintenance option, consider the peace lily or mother-in-law’s tongue—both are hardy plants that thrive in low-light conditions. Besides enhancing aesthetics, plants are known to boost mood, productivity, and concentration. They also help purify indoor air, making them especially beneficial in an all-white laundry space. Simply put, plants bring life to any room, and who doesn’t want a little extra happiness in their day?
