Is combining your laundry and bathroom a great idea?

As block sizes around Brisbane get smaller and smaller, Brisbane homeowners are learning to do more with less. One way they are doing that is by combining the laundry and bathroom into a single multifunctional room.

Most of us would love a spacious laundry, but all that space seems like a waste for a room devoted to our least favourite chores. Here are five great reasons to integrate the bathroom and laundry when considering a Brisbane bathroom or laundry renovation.

Gain extra living space

A well-designed laundry and bathroom combo can give you extra elbow room, while freeing up more square footage for the living areas.

A skilled Brisbane bathroom renovator will have no trouble carving out a nook for the washer and dryer so you can devote more space to the living areas. Now you’ll finally have room for that big, comfy couch you’ve always wanted, or maybe a bigger bedroom or an extra one for the teenager.

Save on plumbing

Whenever you are doing a Brisbane laundry renovation, adding extra plumbing can be a significant hit to the budget. Combining the laundry and bathroom reduces the amount of plumbing required because you don’t need to redirect pipes to another area of the house. Adding an extra hook-up for the laundry appliances is pretty straightforward when the pipes are already installed.

Keep the laundry out of the way

Many Brisbane homeowners are putting their washers and dryers in weird and wonderful locations to create more living space in their homes. You’ve no doubt seen more than a few homes with a washer on the balcony or veranda or crammed into the kitchen. It’s no fun loading a washing machine that’s outside in winter, and you don’t want a washer/dryer combo taking up space that’s better used for food storage. A bathroom/laundry combo could be the most logical solution for your home.

Only one wet area to worry about

A combined bathroom and laundry mean you only need one lot of waterproofing, which makes it easier to comply with Australian building standards that require wet areas to be adequately waterproofed.

Extra space

Bathroom and laundry space are usually sacrificed to make room for more living space. As a result, square footage gets shaved off the bathroom and laundry, leaving you barely enough room to swing a loaded laundry basket. Combining two cramped spaces into one larger room gives you room to move.
