A Laundry Renovation checklist would include overall ideas on Laundry Design as well as laundry tubs or troughs, cabinets, sinks and cupboards, all require planing. Laundries are wet areas, laundry floors need to waterproof and easy to clean. Laundries may be access points to the house. And then we have the dryer, washing machine and perhaps ironing board and drying cabinet
Often seen as a bit of 'hidden area' laundries are really a very important area of any family house and renovation need careful consideration. A young or growing family will need an efficient and easily accessible laundry. With 3 children and two adults it is not unusual to be doing 2-3 loads of laundry a day, so consider a practical and efficient laundry renovation as a priority.
What do you need to consider in a laundry renovation
Laundry Checklist
- Washing machine
A top loading washing machine may be cheaper to purchase, however a front loading washing machine is more economical to run and can be placed beneath a laundry bench, or the dryer to save space.
- Dryer (vented externaly?)
A Cloths dryer vented externally reduces condensation, a great laundry renovation idea.
- Trough or
Sink
A Laundry trough is essential. Stainless steel, and deep to prevent splashes
- Ironing facilities
Consider where you find it convienient to iron, maybe the laundry, but maybe not.
- Storage
A place to keep mops, buckets, shoes and boots and maybe coats.
- Bench space
Bench space is essential, when considering a renovation, it allows you make a laundry functional
- Easy access to the clothes line from the laundry
- Built in water recyclying for the garden? Why not build this in when renovating your laundry, much cheaper than adding on latter.

Other considerations when undertaking a laundry renovation.
Is the laundry also an access point to the house, is it the back door? If so do you need a place for boots, shoes, coates? Do you need a pet door?
