Here are some tips to create a streamlined laundry:

Space

• You'll need a metre­ plus clearance in front of appliances and adequate clearance for top ­loaders.
• Position appliances so doors don't block through­ traffic.
• Save space with a front­loading washer and wall­ mounted dryer or combined washer­ dryer.
• Include extra work surfaces for sorting, folding, ironing and sewing.

Fittings, fixtures and finishes

• Stainless steel sinks easy maintenance.
• Choose hardwearing, stain­ resistant, waterproof bench top materials.
• Laundry cabinetry lasts longer if finishes are heat and humidity resistant.

Storage

• Consider custom-­building closets to store your appliances. E.g. measure your mop bucket, vacuum, broom etc…
• Add extra cupboards for cleaning, ironing, gardening, DIY and sports equipment.
• If space permits, install a fold­ down ironing board.
• If you have children or pets, include a high shelf for toxic household chemicals.
• Allow space for a dirty laundry hamper (under the chute if you have one).
• Pull­out wire baskets set under the workbench are an efficient means for sorting clean clothes.
• Sturdy wall or door mounted racks/hooks are handy for tools.
