Hannah Bay Home Renovation

Alair Homes Regina

This 1980s home was completely gutted and redone both inside and out. Including windows, roofing, Stucco and some exterior wall restructuring. All new interior layout and finishes throughout, including a new open concept kitchen living area with massive walk in butler’s pantry that is 16’ tall inside with shelving to the ceiling. The clients’ eclectic taste drove the design, and led to custom tile inlays, wainscoting and moulding, 13 different wallpapers and unique appliances. The most fun feature of this renovation was the son’s bedroom, which was quite small, but we were able to take advantage of a vaulted ceiling to create a custom-built loft bed with a ladder, lighting and charging station, and lots of shelving.

Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts 2013: Laundry Room

GH Wood Design

GH Wood Design created a Laundry and Craft room for the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts 2013 that was both functional and pleasing to the eye. The laundry room is a place where a lot of time is spent so we wanted to create a space that was practical but still pretty. All the elements that are needed for a laundry room were provided, but in such a way that they could be hidden away while not in use. Such as: a pull out ironing board that is hidden in a drawer in between the dryers; and a pull down drying rack above the washing machine that is contained in a cabinet with doors that close when not in use. On the craft room side we created a custom inspiration board, as well as a custom chalk board that covers the utility box. Also on the craft room side is a drawer that houses wrapping paper on rods for easy and orderly access. The room is topped off with faux wood tile floors that give the feel and beauty of the natural material, but the practicality of tile in a room that is susceptible to leaks and spills.

Eclectic L-shaped Laundry Room Design Ideas

Laundry designs seldom receive the attention they deserve, especially considering how often they’re used. A well-planned eclectic 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.

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.
