6 Awesome Laundry Renovation Ideas

Renovations can be an exciting time but they can also be super stressful. It’s not just the mess that can drive you crazy but the planning too. How do you know you’re making the right design decisions and creating the most functional space, but also making sure everything fits together and makes the room work?

To help you design your perfect laundry, here are 6 awesome laundry renovation ideas to get you started.

 

1. Keep It White

Keeping your units and walls a single colour will help to create an illusion of more space. This is great for smaller laundries and white is the most effective colour for this.

Adding some colour or a patterned floor can help break up the starkness if it’s too monotonous for you. This turns your laundry into a feature room and is a great selling point.

2. Vertical Sliding Organiser

Adding a vertical sliding drawer alongside your washing machine is a nifty use of space.

Use it to keep all your laundry detergents, cloths, pegs, and whatever else you need to access regularly but don’t want to have on permanent display.

 

3. Wall-Mounted Drying Rack

Summer is great for hanging washing outside, but come winter, it’s a different story altogether.

Drying racks are great, but traditional ones take up so much floor space and often make it almost impossible to safely navigate in and out of your laundry.

There are heaps of clever ways to add drying racks to your walls that are ready to pull out or down at a moment’s notice.

 

4. Sliding Doors

Many standard laundry rooms in Perth homes have an inbuilt cupboard but rarely do they ever enclose them with a door.

Adding a sliding door onto your floor to ceiling laundry cupboard will instantly brighten up the room and make it more attractive. No more messy shelves on display!

Depending on the current design of your laundry, you could also look at saving space by adding a sliding door instead of a traditional door to the entrance.

5. Hidden Ironing Board

Just like the drying racks, ironing boards can take up a lot of space when in use.

While renovating your laundry, think about how to incorporate an inbuilt ironing board, which folds out or slides out, ready for you to use as and when needed.

 

6. Statement Splashbacks

If you want to keep things mostly neutral but add a design feature that catches the eye, a coloured or metallic splashback can achieve this beautifully.

Metallics and bold colours work really well with whites, keeping your laundry looking pristine but trendy too.

6 Awesome Laundry Renovation Ideas

What’s Your Current Home Style?

Your bathroom should match your overall home style.

It would be odd to create an ultra-modern bathroom in a country home with vintage styling.

However, it’s not a room you want to be renovating just because your décor has changed, so think about whether you’ll be updating the rest of your home to a different style in the near future too.

If you’re going to be renovating and redecorating your home soon, tie in your new bathroom style with your plans for the rest of the home.

Who’ll Be Using The Bathroom?

Another big consideration is who will be using the bathroom, now and in the foreseeable future.

Will it be used just for you and your partner?

Does it need to be a family bathroom that the whole house can use?

Do you have any elderly people in your home and therefore have to consider their needs as they age as well?

Who uses the bathroom can very much affect the style of bathroom you choose.

How Much Space Do You Have?

We’d all love a bathroom that easily accommodates everything we want in it, but sometimes we’re restricted by the space available.

Look at how much space you have available, and work out what you can physically fit in the bathroom. You might want a shower and a separate bath, but it might not be possible to do.

A good bathroom renovation specialist will do their best to build in clever features and storage to help you pack as much into your bathroom as possible without making it feel overcrowded.

What’s Your Bathroom Renovation Budget?

As much as you’d like to splash the cash and only have the best of the best for your bathroom renovation, it’s good to have a budget in mind that works for you.

Our bathroom renovations team in Perth can help you design and estimate the cost of your bathroom renovation so there are no nasty shocks along the way.

What Can’t You Live Without?

Think about the elements you can’t live without while planning your bathroom renovation.

Are twin sinks non-negotiable? Could you live without a bath if it meant more room for a larger shower?

Make a list of your must haves and nice to haves before you start getting bathroom renovation quotes.

What Bathroom Style To Choose

Classic Bathroom

A classic bathroom style is ideal if you don’t want to update your bathroom again for a while. Use one or two colours, with no bold patterns that could date easily.

Go for formal yet elegant fixtures and fittings, nothing overly dramatic or bold.

 

Modern Bathroom

Modern bathrooms use sleek materials like glass, stone, and stainless steel.

Avoid clutter, keep accessories to a minimum and keep lines clean.

Modern bathrooms often use bold patterns or colours – see what’s on trend in bathrooms and take your inspiration from that.

 

Shabby Chic Bathroom

Shabby chic is still a popular bathroom style. You can mix and match different elements and then use a single colour to link all your elements together.

It exudes a comfy lived-in look, so shop around at second-hand stores and markets for interesting pieces to add to your bathroom.

 

Country Bathroom

Country style bathrooms are ideal for rural properties. Using light wood for some of the key pieces in your bathroom like vanities and towel rails, you can really bring your country look to life.

If using fabrics, go for striped, floral or plaid patterns.

Bring some personal touches to the bathroom with vintage accessories or furniture like high-backed chairs and freestanding tables for your sinks.
