The project

We had talked about making our laundry a more useful space for about 10 years. A plumbing upgrade upstairs necessitated us amending the plumbing in the laundry so we got inspired.

Now we have phone and laptop charging, ample storage for our everyday bags, herbs on the windowsill, and an area for crafting and sewing as well as laundry. We're very happy with the end result!

The benchtop is a wood-look laminate in a 3.2 m length, so there are no seams. For a wet area and crafting the laminate offers a more practical solution with the warmth of a wood.

The shelves are real Oak and we used bamboo accessories.

The herbs love this spot and the possums cant get to them!
