Ideas and planning for laundry renovation

[ocp99]

Hello,

First timer here, I've been dreaming about doing a Laundry room makeover, and I am really inspired by the fellow members here who have done their laundry renovation.

I have a basic laundry, and have a general idea of what I want to achieve, but not sure about the size and scope of the work yet, and whether I will be able to tackle it. I am slowly creating a project plan and wanting to gather more ideas from the community.

My dream laundry room would have a benchtop and sink with base cabinet, and overhead cabinet and shelf. Possible tall cabinet for the mops etc, but this doesn't seem feasible for room this size.

Here's what it looks like currently:

Room dimension:

L-shape: on the longest side L 2.67m x W 1,68m x H 2,41m

My main problem right now is the old laundry unit seems to have been placed on top of the (sub)floor without tiles while the rest of the area are tiled. I am torn on about just tiling the missing spot or replacing the whole tiles. Is floor tiling something that can be done for first-time DIYers with no past tiling experience? Or is there any alternative to this?

I've got more problems (sagging ceiling, out of plumb door), but if I don't start the reno, it won't be a problem until then.

Hi @Jason 

No, not yet. I am a bit slow on the action, esp with lockdown in Melbourne. I think I would try the retiling. Hoping to be able to walk into local Bunnings and choose suitable tiles. So it may take a while before I start picking up the hammer.

Cheers
