The expanding Laundry
Laundry Redevelopments
Often the laundry is the forgotten room when it comes to home design. How many times are you presented with nothing more than a sink and a place to park a washing machine? But a laundry can be so much more than that. When planning your laundry redevelopments decide on what you need to get out of the space. How functional does it need to be, and can you fit specific storage options into the space?
Size Matters
What you need to place into the laundry can affect the layout and planning of the laundry redevelopments and how items are arranged. Many laundry spaces are small as they are often design purely around the function, rather than a person working in the room itself. But, even a small room can be made to feel bigger, especially with modern storage options.
Modern Functionality
Before talking with your designer and builder consider what you would like to get out of the room. Are there particular items that would make your life easier if they were stored in the laundry? How often do these items need to be accessed?
Also consider what equipment you’d like to keep in the laundry. Perhaps a washer dryer combo, which will leave more room for storage. Do you need space for cleaning products that go beyond washing clothes? Perhaps a docking port for an automatic vacuum system. The potential options are endless but working with a quality designer and builder can help refine the options, so you are only being shown the ones that are relevant to your laundry redevelopments.
Designing a New Space
A laundry is a working space and it needs to be designed accordingly. Think about the movement around the room, is it one person or many? Try to picture yourself working in the room and how it functions as a living and breathing entity. Does it still perform to expectations? Having a quality designer and builder can help you answer these questions.
After your laundry redevelopments are finished, it will become a place that you feel good about and actually want to use, rather than the part of the house that everyone avoids.
