Got yourself a small laundry?
When space is tight, a compact laundry that utilises every nook and cranny is key. Here are the top tips to help make small laundries feel bigger
- Tips for small laundries
Open shelves make everything easily accessible and save on cupboard door clearance space.
Front-loading appliances allow for more bench space and are more water-efficient.
If you can, build storage all the way to the ceiling to maximise your use of space.
“Fold-out ironing boards might seem clever but it’s nicer to be able to move the ironing board around, eg to a warmer part of the house in winter,” says Lucy Sargent from Pocketspace Interiors. Install a tall, skinny cupboard or recessed shelf for your ironing board, and don’t forget a designated shelf or cubby for the iron.
A mirrored splashback reflects light and makes small spaces feel larger. Glossy cupboard finishes have the same effect.
- A few space-saving extras
A rail for hanging damp or ironed clothes.
A suspended laundry rack to fully utilise spare ceiling space.
A pull-out shelf for resting the laundry basket on, or for folding clothes.
Pull-out hampers for easy dumping and sorting of clothes.
Under-shelf storage to make use of every centimetre of space.
