CCI Renovations/North Vancouver/Photos - John Friswell. This Kitsilano Condo with beautiful views of English Bay and the North Shore Mountains lacked the interior lustre of a residence in the city. The goal was to bring into the space materials found in nature, giving them a connection with the outside world. Organic materials and colours were used to really transform this space into a more natural environment. This condo was poorly laid out and the 10’ high ceiling made it feel very vast. With a passion for cooking, our clients wanted to maximize the kitchen space, while taking advantage of the stunning views. The clean and simple lines of the millwork, the appliance integration, and the use of reflective surfaces made this space look and feel bigger and brighter. The ceiling treatment was applied not only as eye candy, but served the purpose of lowering the lighting, providing a better quality of lighting within the space. The bathroom offers a calming experience, again with simple clean lines and natural materials. With the addition of a utility room, a designated area to clean and dry scuba suits was built in. Fun tiles with tropical blues and fish were used to create a full wash tub, and a designated drying area makes this condo truly one of a kind.

Fun & Playful Dog Bath and Laundry Room

Blue Envelope Designs, LLC

Who said a Laundry Room had to be dull and boring? This colorful laundry room is loaded with storage both in its custom cabinetry and also in its 3 large closets for winter/spring clothing. The black and white 20x20 floor tile gives a nod to retro and is topped off with apple green walls and an organic free-form backsplash tile! This room serves as a doggy mud-room, eating center and luxury doggy bathing spa area as well. The organic wall tile was designed for visual interest as well as for function. The tall and wide backsplash provides wall protection behind the doggy bathing station. The bath center is equipped with a multifunction hand-held faucet with a metal hose for ease while giving the dogs a bath. The shelf underneath the sink is a pull-out doggy eating station and the food is located in a pull-out trash bin.

Family Gathering Space in a Heritage Home

Diane Whalen Architect

The laundry room is built into a centre 'island', which separates the family room from the bedroom area, creating privacy. The laundry area includes a hidden laundry chute that feeds a laundry basket, which is stored behind the the lower cabinet doors. The dehumidifer is located there as well, with air circulation created through a baseboard detail. Claire MacDonald

Contemporary Laundry Room Design Ideas with an Utility Sink

Laundry designs seldom receive the attention they deserve, especially considering how often they’re used. A well-planned contemporary laundry, complete with built-in cabinets, a laundry sink, washing machine and clothes dryer, can serve many needs. It can help simplify your household chores; store drying clothes and cleaning products; and can even provide a spot for you to groom pets. Because of its hardworking, multipurpose potential, a laundry renovation is a worthwhile investment. Smart laundry designs have layouts that save you time and effort. For example, a washing machine and clothes dryer should be positioned next to one another or stacked, and laundry baskets and hampers should be within easy reach; while an ironing board should be stowed by a power point. Ample storage, bench space for laundry baskets and practical lighting are also essential. Browse the photos on Houzz for efficient laundry ideas, from layouts and storage to appliances, and strike up a conversation with the designers of your favourite laundry renovations.

How do I add storage to my laundry?

A combination of storage solutions is key to running an efficient laundry. Include shelves above or beside the washing machine to store washing detergent, softener and other cleaning products; and laundry bins for dirty clothes. Consider a custom-built cupboard for an ironing board, so it can easily fold out when you need it, or mount the ironing board directly to the wall or on the back of a door. A retractable clothesline is a handy addition to dry delicate clothes, while a clothes hanger mounted to the wall is ideal for hanging freshly pressed shirts.

What else can I use my laundry for?

Multipurpose laundry rooms or utility rooms can help save valuable space in your home. The laundry sink can be used to bathe your furry friends; your laundry cupboard can store sports equipment, gardening tools and umbrellas; and a spare nook can be filled with a desk and chair to create an office space while you wait for your load to finish. If your laundry is at the front of the house, consider using it as a drop station for mail, mobile phones and keys. Include a bench seat or stool, wall-mounted hooks for bags and a coat stand and it can even be used as a place to get the kids organised before you walk out the front door.

How can I decorate my laundry?

Laundries are usually filled to the brim with appliances and storage, so take advantage of your walls when decorating and use cheery paint colours or wallpaper to make doing the chores more pleasant! Fun signs, posters, murals and wall decals will also add character to the space. Think of your storage as decor, too – look for bins and baskets with decorative touches, and use brightly-coloured or patterned hangers.
