Laundry Design Tips | Functional and Stylish Layouts

Laundries have often been the overlooked part of a home's design, even though they're one of the most utilised areas in the house. At Renovogue, Danni believes your laundry should be crisp, tidy, fresh and functional.

A well-designed laundry provides plenty of storage and is arranged in a way that simplifies your daily chores.

Key Factors to Consider

When designing a laundry, there are several important elements to think about:

Floor drainage — Essential for overflowing troughs or washing machines to prevent water damage

Trough selection — Consider whether a single or double trough suits your needs for soaking dirty clothes

Storage solutions — Include lockable cupboards for cleaning products and hazardous items

Laundry chute — A practical addition for two-storey homes

Dedicated spaces — Allow room for dirty clothes baskets, raincoats and boots

Smart Storage Ideas

Plenty of cupboards and drawers make a laundry work harder for you. Drawers are perfect for sorting colours before washing, while cupboards can conceal brooms, mops and vacuum cleaners to keep the space looking neat.

Danni always recommends including a dedicated drying cupboard with a ducted vent and roll-out drying shelves — ideal for delicate items or rainy Melbourne days.

Don't Forget the Details

Attention to benchtop surface space and overhead cupboards is essential. You need room to fold, sort and stack, plus accessible storage for everyday items like detergent and fabric softener.

Form Meets Function

Your laundry should be highly functional without sacrificing style. The right combination of cabinetry, benchtops and fixtures can make this hardworking space a pleasure to use.
