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.

Advice please, declined house insurance cover
Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
