The Perfect Furniture For Utility Rooms And Laundry Rooms

Published on: 13/02/2024 Author: Babette

Did you know that if you do just three loads of washing per week, that’s over 150 loads of washing per year?

Laundry being such a repetitive task is all the more reason why your laundry room should work both for the space you have available alongside your personal needs. Similar to designing a new kitchen or bathroom, laundry spaces can help or hinder your chores.

When it comes to laundry rooms or utility rooms where your washers and dryers are kept, choosing the right furniture to house your appliances and accessories is key. That’s because the right setup can make laundry day much easier, not to mention far more enjoyable.

Choosing The Right Furniture For A Practical Laundry Room

Every laundry space is different. Whether you have a separate utility room or a dedicated laundry corner in the kitchen, furnishing the laundry area is all about maximising the available space and overall functionality.

Your choice of laundry furniture must allow you to do the following tasks with ease:

Sorting clothes
Pre-treating any stubborn stains
Loading clothes into the machine
Transferring wet clothes into the dryer
Folding the laundry
Ironing
Putting laundry detergents and accessories away

If it’s not possible to do even one of these steps due to a lack of space or an impractical setup, then the whole laundry process is made far more difficult than it needs to be.

But by considering these steps when choosing a laundry washer-dryer cabinet you can create a perfect laundry area which promotes efficiency and user-friendliness.

Washtower Laundry Storage Cupboards - Ideas For All Spaces & Needs

With the above laundry steps in mind, you can choose a laundry washing machine cabinet that will best fit your needs. Using the Washtower configurator, you can then select the right furniture based on how much space you have, plus the functionality you’d like to incorporate.

Unit Size

A tall laundry cabinet can help maximise vertical space in small laundry rooms, giving the ability to stack the washer and dryer. Even when space is limited, the unit can still combine tall storage furniture to the side to neatly hide away any laundry accessories.

If wall space isn’t limited, deep wall cabinets for the laundry room are another configuration to consider. These cabinets can be added above your appliances to make the best use of what otherwise would be wasted space in your laundry room.

Colour Options

With your laundry cabinet size taken care of, you then have two colour options to consider which are black or white. Think carefully about your furniture colour before decorating the laundry room to ensure a cohesive colour palette. White furniture is a classic choice, although black storage furniture can add a more contemporary edge to your laundry room.

Storage Solutions For Disabled

The best laundry room furniture provides ease of access for everyone, but especially those with any disabilities or impairments. By choosing laundry furniture which is positioned at the correct height, barriers to accessibility can be removed.

With our configurator, you can select the cabinet heights and accessibility features that matter to you most in just a couple of clicks.

Beyond making the actual laundry easier, it’s also possible to opt for a built in laundry basket cabinet to provide ease of access to laundry room items such as detergents or laundry baskets. All of which adds some extremely handy storage within your laundry room to keep things neat and tidy.
