Need laundry layout ideas

Hi

 

Just planning a laundry and looking for layout ideas. 

We will keep the washer on the R hand side and relocate tap under the bench. We currently do not want a dryer but would like to be able to add one in the future without wasting the work we have done, so possibly some open shelves located above the washer so that we can pull them out and place a dryer there (wall mounted) in future. I'd like a broom cupboard but note the location of a current GPO (on the design) on the left. Could we include this inside the cupboard for our stick vaccuum to be plugged in? or otherwise smaller broom cupboard and keep the GPO above the bench. We'd like overhead cabinets also.

 

Will attach pic of the measurements (rough drawing)

Re: Need laundry layout ideas

Hello @vanessam 

 

As requested, here is a sample layout for your laundry with broom cupboard included. I've followed your instructions as close as possible including the shelves for the dryer in the future. In regards to the power point, since the old tiles will be removed, you can get your electrician to tap into the existing power point and have one installed inside the cupboard. Please have a look and tell me what you think.

 

If you wish to see it in another configuration, please let me know.

 

Eric

Thanks Eric.

Are you able to share the dimensions of those cabinets?

Also, could we look at a double broom cupboard...broom 1cside, shelves the other side?

The cabinet dimensions are as follows:

 

 

Please give me some time to modify your laundry. I will post the new drawing here as soon as I finish.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Re: Need laundry layout ideas

Hello @vanessam 

 

Here is your laundry with the 900-broom cupboard installed. The cabinetry list stays the same except that the 900 base cabinet is now replaced with a 450 base cabinet and the wall unit is replaced with a 450-wall unit. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
