Laundry designs that aren’t boring!
Unashamedly, I think we can all agree that doing the laundry isn’t the most favoured household task.
As soon as the kids are old enough, it’s not long before us parents will ease them in to doing their own washing so that it’s one less task for us. However, one of the downfalls of laundry spaces is that they’re sometimes small, awkward spaces that don’t leave much room to sort the washing.
Flat Hill are a family owned business that specialise in creating laundry designs that are equally as beautiful as they are functional. Therefore, we’ve put together a compilation of laundry designs that will change the way you do your washing.
Make it Yours
Firstly, it’s important to make the space you’re doing the laundry into a space that you really love.
Therefore, the first step is to make a collection of some design features, colours and patterns that you love in a laundry space and try to envision these in your current laundry. Once you’ve collected these, our team at Flat Hill can create your dream design that fits in with your current laundry configuration, or we can start from scratch and redesign the entire fitout. Some of our favourite current design trends include brass tapware, pastel feature colours and beautiful handle designs.
At Flat Hill, we encourage you to present us with your wildest design ideas so that our experienced team can help you bring them to life.
Choose Custom
One of the best ways to level up your laundry designs and really make a difference to the room’s functionality is to have custom cabinetry designed.
With custom cabinetry, you can ensure that all your essential laundry items are stored perfectly, and that the cabinetry fits flush in your space. There’s nothing worse than trying to save a bit of coin with readymade cabinets, only to realise they don’t fit, and that there’s not enough space for your items.
At Flat Hill, our team will come and take accurate measurements, carefully listening to your needs to create the perfect custom cabinets.
The Perfect Benchtop
As several chemicals are used in the laundry, it’s important to choose a highly durable benchtop material that can withstand the hard-working area.
At Flat Hill, we usually recommend an engineered stone. Engineered stone, as opposed to stone is a composite material made of crushed real stone bound together by an adhesive. This type of stone is ideas because it is non-porous, meaning it doesn’t require sealing or special cleaners and therefore can withstand the weight of laundry products.
At Flat Hill, we have access to a wide range of beautiful engineered stone benchtops and can help you choose one that perfectly matches your laundry design aesthetic.
Light it Up
One of the most important elements of any room is perfect lighting, and the laundry is no exception.
Having good lighting in your laundry will ensure that you can see what you’re doing, especially if you’re sorting washing early in the morning or late at night when it’s still dark. At the same time, it’s also important to have softer lighting options when you don’t want to disturb the rest of your household.
For this purpose, we recommend having under-cabinet LED lighting installed to create a beautiful, soft ambient light.
Install a Drying Rack
Drying racks are perhaps one of the most useful and cost friendly additions to any laundry space and, you can have fun with it.
Gone are the days of dealing with your cumbersome wire fold out drying rack, it’s time to install a custom, chic solution that perfectly matches your laundry design. Some of our favourite drying rack designs at Flat Hill are a pull down, wall mounted rack in custom colours, a stunning marble rod positioned between cabinets and pull out drying racks handily hidden in a secret storage cupboard.
