Here are the Top 10 most popular laundry renos on Workshop by pageviews:
1. Budget Bunnings laundry renovation by @prettyliving
Completed in just a day for $500
This very popular project with a budget-friendly pricetag was completed in just a day, transforming a basic laundry with a standard trough and no storage. The renovation included a new sink, cupboards, tiles and benchtop.
2. Laundry transformation by @ProjectPete
This dramatic renovation included removal of the old laundry tub, a new splashback, lovely large timber benchtop using Tasmanian Oak project panels and overhead cabinets. The finished result is both functional and attractive.
3. Space-saving drying and laundry storage by @Nkbarfield
For less than $250, Workshop member Nkbarfield added industrial-look hanging clothes rails and fantastic floating cube storage to their laundry. You can get step-by-step instructions on how to build your own hanging rail from the Bunnings website.
4. Compact laundry in guest bathroom by @Ajmod
This laundry connects to a guest toilet so needed to double as a guest bathroom. Hiding the washing machine inside the cabinetry ensured a clean look.
5. Small laundry renovation with hanging clothes rail by @ordinary-home
With a small, awkward space, creative solutions were needed for this laundry renovation such as hanging rail and a large benchtop for folding clothes. The attractive new design passed the ultimate test – a baby in cloth nappies.
6. Budget laundry makeover by @Gillgirl
First ever renovation project
Workshop community member Gillgirl has lived in her house for over 25 years and took advantage of the COVID-19 lockdown period to tackle her first-ever renovation project. The professional end result should give inspiration and confidence to all first-time renovators.
7. Laundry renovation with extra storage by @prettyliving
Jess kept the tiles and cabinets simple in this laundry revamp to create a feature of the lovely Acacia benchtop.
8. Laundry renovation for more bench space by @dinaandjake
Dina and Jake tackled this laundry project to make room for a dryer and create more bench space for a growing family. They used a Merbau panel cut to size for the benchtop and shelves, added Flatpax cabinetry, and hired a tile cutter from Bunnings to install a tiled splashback.
Overhead cabinetry created more storage in this European-style laundry
