Tips on Laundry Renovations

When thinking about having a new laundry room built in your home, there are some things to think about before you start carrying out laundry renovations Perth. Once upon a time, people used to have their laundry room in the basement, you might want to re-think where you would like to have the laundry room built. The problem with it being in the basement is that you have to strip beds, gather laundry from the rest of the house, and take it down. This can mean you’re climbing a lot of stairs, especially in a two-story house. Consider where your laundry is hung out to dry! It makes sense to have a new laundry built as close to your washing line as possible.

 

What does your laundry room need?

You do not need as much room as you might think for a laundry room. A large closet could work since dryer can simply sit on top of the washing machine. Ensure there is ventilation, a fan or a window and space for a cabinet where you can put washing powders and cleaning chemicals, and maybe some space for a folding table. Suppose you think you cannot manage bathroom laundry renovations because you do not have enough space in your home. In that case, you might want to call in an experienced renovator so they can tell you whether remodelling is a viable option, or if you need to put off the idea altogether. There should be a drain under the washing machine so that should there be an overflow, it drains safely away and does not flood the room and home. Some things you might think about in more detail are;

 

  1. Cabinets – We mentioned you might want some storage space, and you can make this as practical or as fancy as you prefer. Consider keeping the cabinets easy to wipe clean and choose a durable material. If you have room for additional storage with your laundry renovations Perth you might have a larger space for storing towels and it might be where you keep your toilet paper rolls. 
  2. Power outlets – As well as needing to power your washer and dryer you might need additional outlets there for things like an iron. You might also need one here to plug in your vacuum cleaner.  
  3. Lighting – People sometimes think this is just about bathroom laundry renovations, so lighting is not all that important, as long as there is one light to work with. But in fact, some thought placed into lighting can make a difference in how comfortable your laundry space is to use. Consider whether there are shadows, too, as ironing can be more difficult! Talk to your renovator and make sure they use a licensed electrician to handle any lighting or electrical work.
