The laundry is the unsung hero of a home. It's a hardworking, integral player in the daily activity of the household, particularly if you’re doing loads of laundry for a busy family.
Relegated to a small room or concealed nook, it doesn't take much for a laundry to become dysfunctional and cluttered. The old saying "a place for everything and everything in its place" rings true for laundry bliss. When your laundry renovation is expertly designed and sorted, laundering clothes becomes less of a chore.
With well-planned storage comes great organisation and stress-free functionality. Keen to renovate your laundry and create more laundry storage solutions? In this month's B&C Home Journal, we share expert insight and laundry design inspiration that may just revolutionise your approach to washing day. Enjoy!

At Balnei & Colina, we believe custom joinery can maximise the storage potential of any room in the home. A custom-designed laundry allows you to expand cabinetry to the ceiling, making the most of the vertical space while combining a mix of open shelves, cabinets, drawers, pull-out hampers, and affixed drying racks. Space can be allocated for laundry baskets and cleaning appliances of any size. A custom laundry design transforms any small, awkwardly shaped area into a well-organised, fully functioning work zone.
Design Tip: In the design phase of your laundry renovation, creating a list of the essential items for your dream laundry is crucial. Decide what you need to store and where. The Balnei & Colina laundry renovation experts know that every home is unique and can design a space that suits your exact requirements.

In smaller homes, European laundries tucked into a hallway nook or in the corner of a kitchen or bathroom provide the functionality of a separate laundry without the need for a dedicated laundry room.
When a larger laundry room has external access, fitting the space as a mudroom-laundry combination is a practical approach favoured by home renovators in Sydney and across Australia.
Bespoke joinery within a multipurpose laundry renovation ensures a dedicated place for items like shoes, school bags, gardening clothes, sports equipment, pet accessories, and other bits and pieces that accompany everyday living.

We love the iconic Australian vision of a Hills Hoist in the backyard, covered in fresh washing and soaking up the sun. However, the convenience of indoor hanging space is hard to beat, especially during the wetter months. Consider a hanging rail mounted under upper laundry cabinets or a clever wall-mounted or drop-down clothes rack you can tuck away.
Laundry Tip: Martha Stewart, America’s Domestic Goddess, points out that button-down cotton shirts tend to shrink when left in the dryer for too long. She suggests pulling them out slightly damp and then hanging them up to air dry.

Bulky standalone washers and dryers eat up potential storage space. If the headcount in your household is small, you may find that a washer/dryer combination suits your load size and washing frequency.
Alternatively, stacking units save floor space, while front loaders can be positioned under a benchtop, giving you more surface area to sort and fold clothes.

Separate laundry baskets dedicated to white and dark loads will reduce your time spent sorting laundry on washing day. Sort smaller items, such as pegs, batteries and light bulbs, into neat baskets or containers that can sit on accessible shelves.
Laundry labels will help you quickly retrieve what you are looking for. Decanting washing powder into clear glass jars looks beautiful and offers an easy visual reference when cleaning products are running low and should be added to the shopping list.
Design Tip: Choose baskets, tubs and containers in consistent styles and materials — the cohesion will bring an organised, streamlined look to your laundry.
