Popular appliances to help modernise your laundry

Laundry Design Tips

Give your laundry a refresh and a contemporary touch with these design ideas and tips:

• Brighten The Space
  • A quick way to add light is with energy efficient LED lights or you could add small lights under cabinets and shelves to illuminate when you’re searching for items. Have a spare wall that faces the outside of your place? You could potentially create a window to allow natural light and fresh air into your laundry.

• Create More Storage
  • Ensure everything has a place with extra storage solutions. Add in a floating shelf on an empty wall, install a clothes hanging rail or a few wall hooks, where your garments will have a spot to hang. Make use of baskets, hampers, boxes, crates and trolleys to divide the space in your laundry.

• Upgrade Sinks and Taps
  • Instantly modernise your laundry’s look and feel with a new coloured sink and tap. Stainless Steel and Chrome will deliver timeless appeal while new favourites such as Gold, Copper and Black sinks and taps will provide charm and character.

• Matching Laundry Pair
  • Invest in a matching washing matching and dryer from the same brand and you’re one step ahead in crafting a pleasingly functional, smart and stylish laundry. Many washers and dryers from the same company will have smart connectivity and syncing functions, and a similar design to deliver a seamless laundry experience. Keep reading below to find out more about laundry pairs.
• Installation & Placemen
  • How you install or where you place your laundry appliances will make a world of a difference and potentially help you save space. If you’ve got a front load washing machine, your dryer can be stacked on top of the washer with the help of a stacking kit. Alternatively, washers and dryers can also be placed side by side if space in your laundry allows this. It is also worth noting that top load washing machines will limit stacking options as space to open the top loader’s lid must be taken into account.
