Laundry makeover with Kaboodle cabinetry

This started when the need to move on from Blue and yellow was a must!

This laundry lacked functionality- it had no bench space, no cupboards. Just a small 2 door cupboard under sink.

We decided to go for an industrial style laundry with some much needed bench space and more storage.
We kept plumbing to same position, to keep costs down but added overhead and under bench cupboards. All Kaboodle products and hardware.
We included pull out draw for dirty baskets to slide out next to washing machine.
this top loader is multi function and is washer/dryer combo. Added some Bunnings penny tiles for splash back!

Materials

Kaboodle cupboards and base units/overheads. Darker doors (top cupboards) special order!

Hello @Christie78

What a beautiful laundry transformation. The dark brown colours of the wall cabinets neatly contrast the soft benchtop colour, and the LED provides excellent lighting. My favourite part is the stencil that you placed above the tiles.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful project.

Love the design @Christie78 very practical and the LED light strip is always a fav of mine. But the backsplash verse makes the project unique well done.
