Steps

Step 1

The design 

We designed the laundry / powder room to maximise on wall storage as the room was only 1800mm long, which was largely the dryer and washing machine.

 

We also wanted to modernise the room adding some warmth and statement tiles.

Step 2

Demolition

We removed the original sink and got a plumber to move all the pluming to our preferred locations (under bench).

 

Step 3

Install upper cabinets

We then installed the upper cabinets and built some custom shelving around them. We also framed a portion on the wall above the sink area and installed some VJ panels for some depth and texture.

Step 4

Install lower cabinet  

We then installed the laminate benchtop and the bottom 450mm cabinet with a timber panel as a feature

Thank you @Noyade ! 

We are really happy with it. 

 

My mistake, it's the Practa range for both 300mm and 600mm. https://www.bunnings.com.au/flatpax-utility-300mm-1-door-wall-cupboard_p2668917
