GET SORTED

Transform your laundry into a schmick space with sleek storage solutions so you can work in style and make wash day a breeze

-

1 rack ’em up

Doing the laundry will be a joy when you have a clean and functional new layout. Make life easy with a whiz-bang washing machine and easy-assemble shelving systems.

2 after a sort

Add a group of wicker baskets underneath a bank of cupboards to ensure sorting clothing by colour becomes second nature. PS, you can turn slivers of unused space into extra storage, as done here with open-faced pigeonhole­s tucked beneath the cabinetry.

3 to set store by

A nice deep sink is a must-have for all the chores you get up to in this busy room. To make a visual connection with ma‚ black tapware, shelves and the glossy splashback tiles, opt for a sink with a gunmetal grey finish. And, since the laundry is oft„en host to more than just dirty washing, include plenty of storage space above and below your sink, including floating shelves on the splashback.

4 meet the press!

Along one wall, create a dry station to process your clean clothes. Include hanging rails for ironed garments, a bench at working height and stacks of storage down low.

5 lost and found department

Forever missing one sock in a pair? It’s time to open up a Lost Sock Shop! Just hang a piece of wire mesh and peg up the lonelies. When you reconnect the odd one out with its other half, they’re back in business.
