Under the sinkPutting dead space under the sink to good use makes sense, and has long been the most common location for homeowners wanting to hide their garbage away. If you can combine areas for compost, recycling and general garbage, so much the better.A slide-out drawer with the handle at waist height is easier to use than having to open cupboard doors and then slide out the bins.
Tip 13: Bring in the natural light Install a panel of glass in your laundry door, or expansive glass windows, to allow natural light into your laundry for a healthier environment. As well as saving on electricity bills and saving energy, natural light improves your mood and productivity. The glass door in this heritage home in Sydney’s Double Bay floods the room with light and allows easy access to a courtyard and a clothesline.
Tip 11: Include a mud room for school stuff Place a mudroom in the laundry to create a central drop-off point for the kids’ school bags, hats, shoes and sports gear. Wash the footy boots and put them back on the shoe rack ready for the next morning, so your little footy player is not looking all over the house for his stuff before school. This Hamptons-style laundry in a renovated Queenslander in Brisbane features an entry into the home via the mudroom and laundry; perfect for kids coming home after school to dump their shoes and bags before entering the house.
Tip 5: Include open shelving for washing baskets Washing baskets often get in the way and end up on the floor or on top of valuable bench space. Open shelving allows washing baskets to be easily accessed and put away. Choose traditional wicker baskets with a cotton lining, or matching modern hard plastic baskets to suit the style of your laundry. This laundry in a Californian bungalow in Melbourne provides plenty of open storage and work space.
