Designing a laundry room should include four workspaces, viz. (1) sorting, (2) washing and drying, (3) ironing, and (4) folding and hanging. With proper planning, you can customise your laundry to serve your needs.
Here are some reasons for having a separate laundry room:
Helps You to Organise Your Home
With a separate laundry room, you can pile your clothes until you have the time to do the laundry. And you won’t have to sacrifice a bed or bedroom for folding and ironing.
Dedicated Laundry Frees Up Your Kitchen or Bathroom Space
Homeowners who don’t have a separate laundry space will keep their washing machine in their bathroom or kitchen – it may not be a convenient option as it consumes considerable space in your kitchen or bathroom, and it’s not functional. Having a dedicated laundry room will free up your bathroom or kitchen space so you can perform your kitchen and laundry chores with ease. It will leave your bathroom space always free, so anyone in your home can use it anytime.
Laundry Work Gets Easier
Laundry tasks seem hard, but a dedicated and fully equipped laundry space will make your laundry tasks effortless.
Your Clothes Will Shine Better
When you have a dedicated laundry space, you can give much-needed attention to your clothes. You can treat marks or stains in comfort, iron your garments flawlessly and fold everything in the dedicated space built for these types of care tasks.
Modern Laundry Rooms Look Appealing
Modern design ideas can create an appealing laundry room that will look equally beautiful as other spaces in your home.
All in One Place
A separate laundry room helps you store everything in one place, from the detergents and pins to the ironing board. So you don’t have to collect tools from different storage when you need them, as you have it all in one place.
Safely Store Your Cleaning Products
Laundry rooms are convenient for storing chemical cleaning products that could be unsafe for children. So you can lock all of these harmful products inside a laundry cabin.
Customise Your Laundry Room Per Your Needs
When you build a laundry room, you can customise it per your needs. For instance, install a sound system to listen to your favourite music track while you iron your clothes. Mount laundry baskets that let you colour code your washing. Also, you can install a foldable ironing board.
Some Laundry Renovation Ideas
Flooring
If your flooring looks worn out, consider replacing them with new flooring, which will transform the ambience of your laundry, making your chores a lot easier.
Sinks & Taps
Stainless steel surfaces blended with a fresh new coat of paint can boost even the most dated laundry room. A fresh sink and tap let you choose a design and get a custom fitment for the size you need.
Fresh Shelving
If your cabinets or shelves are exhausted or damaged, replace them with fresh modern designs. You can blend natural elements such as stone, timber, and glass surfaces that reflect light and make the area spacious. If you haven’t created separate storage for cleaning products, then build one for keeping all your cleaning products and chemicals concealed and safe and away from little ones.
Bring in Energy Efficient Appliances
If your washing machine and dryer are old enough, it needs an upgrade. Buy in a pair so you may get a discount and fits the space.
Match the Theme of Your Home
Match your laundry space to the interior of your home for a seamless look. So ensure you match your laundry curtains, ironing board covers, etc., to your home interiors.
The Bottom Line
When you have a separate laundry space, you can work peacefully without any interruptions and complete your laundry work faster. Furthermore, it will leave your kitchen and bathroom with more space, giving you a feel of spaciousness.
