These laundry features will maximise your Brisbane laundry renovation

The laundry room is a place where form and function combine to make doing laundry more efficient and comfortable. Use these Brisbane laundry renovation tips to ensure you don’t miss any essential features that will make doing laundry less of a chore.

1. Flooring

Laundry flooring should be waterproof material. Ceramic tiles are a popular choice as they are water-resistant and affordable. Porcelain is another good option for tiles that are completely impervious to water, but they are usually more expensive than ceramic. Vinyl planks stand up well against water, making them a great budget-friendly option.

2. Ventilation

A laundry that isn’t adequately ventilated can get uncomfortably humid. Controlling moisture levels will also reduce the risk of mould and mildew outbreaks. Include plenty of ventilation in your laundry design. If you can’t add natural ventilation, consider including an exhaust fan to vent the moist laundry air outside.

3. Lighting

Not only will a well-lit laundry room prevent accidents, but good lighting choices can create a warm and inviting space. Laundries are usually the smallest room in the house, and large windows were not a priority in older homes. However, we believe that natural lighting is the best option. Adding new or larger windows, a roof skylight, or glazed internal doors to borrow light from other rooms are all good options for improving natural light.

4. Appliances

A new Brisbane laundry renovation deserves modern appliances. Laundry appliances have come a long way in recent years. Washers and dryers are more compact and stackable if you prefer separate units. They are also a lot more power and water efficient than their forebears, which can shave a few dollars off your energy bill. Front loading is convenient for smaller spaces and will easily slide in under a large bench, where they are out of the way.

5. Benchtops

Benchtops are often neglected in laundry renovations, but a decent-sized benchtop will make the laundry a lot more practical. You will need a material that is hardwearing, which is why we recommend natural, moisture-resistant stone like marble or lacquered wood if you are going for a country or rustic vibe. Consider a colour that contrasts against the other decor. It’s a laundry room, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be visually interesting as well as practical.
