Cupboard converted into Euro laundry

Converting a linen/storage cupboard into a European Laundry

 

As part of our house renovation, we converted the old laundry room into a home office/4th bedroom and decided to relocate and downsize the laundry room into a euro laundry cupboard in the hallway. Turning the linen/storage cupboard into a laundry required moving a doorway, trenching plumbing wastes, plumbing new hot and cold water for the laundry sink and washing machine and running electricity inside the cupboard for the washing machine and small appliances (Dyson charger, Bissell, iron, etc.).

 

Once all the plumbing and electrical was complete here is how we created a euro laundry out of a linen/storage cupboard:

What a great use of space! It looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing @homeinmelbourne 

Re: Cupboard converted into Euro laundry

Thank you @prettyliving! It was a bit of a compromise not being able to fit in a dryer or have much bench space to fold clothes.. but the old laundry room converted into a home office/bedroom I think was a better use of the space.

 

Thank you so much for all your kind comments on our DIY projects!

Hi @homeinmelbourne

 

What another fantastic renovation. I'm surprised you still put doors in front of this amazing laundry set-up. Even if you saw this while passing, you would be impressed at how great it looks. Your hallway looks magnificent and reminds me of modern colonial houses abroad.

Hi @homeinmelbourne 

 

Would it be possible for you to tell us the brand of your wall cabinets? The door profiles are very unique and look like a reverse shaker profile.

Hi @EricL,

The cabinets are IKEA - ‘Metod’ carcasses with the ‘Stensund’ door fronts.
