This is the laundry part The freezer is behind the partition. The first half has the laundry area, in the middle is a partion with the open shelves and pantry and then the shelves with linen

Hi anna_cannon , it's a bit confusing looking at the photos, where is the freezer / shelving relative to the main laundry room? Perhaps it would be more helpful if you can sketch out a plan with dimension.

Yes dytecture the above is lovely. Below is also another idea for great storage and laundry area when you first come in - I'd go see a cabinetry design store to help with the layout (where plumbing and electrical are) then optimize the space with built-ins.

I have tried to upload a scan of a floor plan. Oops two by accident. The kitchen door is half way between the hot water cylinder and pantry almost opposite partition wall

Like I said, measure the space and go see a local cabinetry supplier to help with the design. Have a budget in mind for how much you want to spend, so that cabinetry supplier can direct you to the proper product. Home Depot and Lowes also sells cabinetry if your more of a DIY'er. Good Luck

Hi anna_cannon, having a plan drawn is a good start, you might want to put the dimension on the plan as well just to help others know exactly where everything is.

This is what I think works given the information I have. Not sure if you how much renovation you are looking at and whether you need both doors to the back but I kept them just in case.

Basically I have grouped similar functions together such as (freezer, pantry)
(linen, washer/dryer, sink), and (bench, coat hanging close to the doors in the back) ... all the plumbing stays the same to keep cost down.

Hope this gives you an idea on what's possible in your multi-functional space.

This is more straight forward version.

Thanks, that looks very functional. Thank you for taking the time to help.
