From laundry room blues to a laundry love affair: What makes the perfect laundry room.

For many the laundry room is a chore zone – a place to cram dirty clothes and hope for the best. But it doesn’t have to be that way! A well-designed laundry room can be an efficient and even enjoyable space.

At Brighton Homes, we understand that whilst a laundry space may be one of the smallest rooms in the home, it also needs to be one of the most functional - whilst still being aesthetically pleasing. That’s why when building your brand-new Brighton home our expert team will work with you to create a functional laundry layout that can save you time and frustration. Here’s how:

1. Smooth workflow

Together we can create a space that works with you, where you can enjoy a seamless working environment from sorting through to folding. A functional layout considers the natural order of laundry tasks, that’s why we discuss at length the placement of appliances and strategic storage ideas to suit your laundry day routine.

2. Maximised space

Even the smallest of laundry spaces can benefit from smart design. Optimising the layout can deliver ample storage with floor to ceiling cabinetry, provide plenty of bench space for sorting and folding, plus create useful hanging space for items that need to dry in the shade or a quick steam. This is the easiest way to keep your laundry room organised and not be overwhelmed by what often seems to be an endless pile of dirty clothes.

3. Reduced strain

Bending over to sort laundry or reaching for detergent can strain your back. With our helpful advice, create a functional laundry layout with ergonomic features like overhead cabinetry, raised benchtops, and elevated appliances, that will turn that pain into gain.
