How to Create the Ultimate Laundry

Laundries are no longer just a utilitarian room, your laundry has the potential to be a stylish and functional space. Clever design and organisation details will make often the smallest and hardest working room in the house a pleasure to spend time in.

COHESIVE STYE LAUNDRY - Matching your benchtop, cabinets, taps, and finishes in the laundry with your kitchen is a clever way to create a harmonious flow of your home's style. Hamptons homes feature a light and airy colour palette. Shaker-style cabinetry, butler sink or undermount fireclay sink, chrome fittings, and detailed cabinet pulls and handles for a timeless look.

CONCEALED LAUNDRIES integrated into the kitchen space is becoming a popular option when space is lacking. If your floorplan allows, adding a door through to the laundry that blends with your kitchen is a clever design feature.

BE BOLD WITH COLOUR - have fun with colour in the laundry. Choose to go dark or bold with your cabinetry particularly if your kitchen is light or neutral. Using the same style of cabinetry such as a shaker style and using similar hardware finishes will complement the kitchen.
