Next level laundry
Abode’s DIY dream team, Shayden and Georgia from Mooch Style, get organised and show us how to make the most of your laundry by maximising storage space.
Doing the laundry is easily one of the most dreaded household chores, but it doesn’t need to be. We have recently finished our laundry renovation – prior to completing it, we had our washing machine set up on our back deck. It felt like our house was going to take off every spin cycle, but at least our clothes were washed. What more could we need?
Our little villa, unfortunately, doesn’t have much built-in storage, so when planning our laundry renovation, we wanted to add some extra storage space, in particular, a linen cupboard. We opted for a wall-hung linen cupboard to provide some space underneath to house our washing baskets as well as our brooms and mops down the side – out of sight and out of the way. Our laundry isn’t the biggest; however, we made sure to make the most of the space we had. Having a front loader washing machine provided us with a generous sized useable bench space, perfect for sorting and folding washing.
Adding an overhead cupboard is perfect for housing all our cleaning products, although not applicable to us, ensures that little hands won’t get hold of them. We didn’t want our new laundry to be used as a dumping ground for all the odd bits that didn’t belong anywhere else. We wanted to make sure that what we did have, had its place. We knew that we needed to find some storage solutions that were going to make this space neat, tidy and organised.
