I wanted to create a more functional laundry for my mum who has dementia. User friendly for mum as well as an easy work space for her carers. Previously it was old and really hard to keep tidy.
I love all things vintage so I designed the laundry colour palette around the original floor tiles. The warmth of the wooden bench top and shelves compliment the tiles and original wall paint. I was on a budget so I only changed what was necessary!
The cabinet handles have a vintage feel to them and the tile splash back compliments the floor tiles, sharing the same square shape and size. I love how it all came together, visually inviting and the ample room for storage and work space.
I hired a carpenter to custom build the cabinets and of course electrical and plumbing experts.
Mum loves it! It’s harmonious with the functional design complimenting the original features throughout her 1980’s home. It blends in so well with the rest of her home and now a GREAT laundry!
