Folding doors take up less space than regular ones, and can add more storage space. We’re nuts over this folding door surprise – who would have thought that a laundry system would be hidden inside? The folding doors not only allow for easy access, but they lend visual appeal by appearing very much like an inconspicuous wall panel when closed.

Ceiling-mounted designs suit even the smallest of spaces. They usually operate on a pulley system and can be lowered to a manageable height while you load up the racks with wet washing, then hoisted back up out of the way to dry.

Sink inserts such as this one are smart ways to snatch some extra bench space in small laundries. Tip: Ask your stonemason or bench manufacturer to cut a sink insert from your benchtop for a perfect match and fit.

Raise: front- loading appliances benefit from a lift to save you from crouching uncomfortably at floor level when loading and unloading them. Some newer front loaders have drums that are positioned higher in the machine’s frame. Generally, 750 to 1000 millimetres is a comfortable height. Hanging rack Drawers Layout

Q

Raise your bench height… People are taller on average than when 900-millimetre bench heights came into vogue, so if you’re designing or renovating your laundry, consider raising the bench to improve the ergonomics. A slightly taller 920-millimetre-high bench suits most people and does wonders for improving posture and back pain after all those hours spend folding clothes. The very long legged can even nudge bench heights up to 1000 millimetres.
