Sleek & Functional Laundry Makeover
Clever Storage and Contemporary Design
Nestovate recently completed a stylish and highly functional laundry renovation, designed to maximise usability while introducing contemporary finishes. The project transformed an outdated laundry into a practical, family-friendly space, combining durability, clever storage solutions, and modern aesthetics.
The Challenge
The original laundry featured a top cabinet, an inefficient layout with an oversized sink and exposed plumbing that limited usable space. The client needed a compact, functional design that could comfortably accommodate a washing machine and dryer, provide practical storage, and maintain a clean, modern appearance.
The Solution
Nestovate re-engineered the layout to optimise space and functionality:
- Removed the old laundry trough and reconfigured plumbing to run inside the new bottom cabinet for a clean, uncluttered look.
- Installed brown Polytec top and bottom cabinets with black handles, including a compact base cabinet tailored to fit both the washing machine and dryer.
- Fitted a small gunmetal sink with matching black tapware, perfectly scaled for the compact cabinet.
- Added open shelving above the sink for easy-access storage or decorative plants.
- Provided a GPO above the benchtop for ironing convenience.
- Installed 600 × 600 mm grey-toned porcelain floor tiles with matching skirting boards for a seamless, elegant finish.
- Used terracotta splashback tiles with a subtle beige tone to complement the cabinetry and benchtop.
The Outcome
The renovated laundry now offers a sleek, modern, and highly functional space that balances style with practicality. The clever cabinet layout accommodates essential appliances, maximises storage, and hides plumbing, while the coordinated finishes—tiles, benchtop, tapware, and open shelving—create a cohesive, elegant, and family-friendly environment.
