Help with laundry/bathroom layout
Comments (4)also for safety having a back door is essential in case of fire etc. Make sure the door is an exterior grade one to keep "night visitors" out. I've seen laundries housed in cabinets...the firsts suggestion sounds nice but i haven't seen your floor plan layout. is that double laundry sink your bathroom vanity as well? maybe get the washer hardware happening inside (and preferably an under bench model for more bench space and an integrated look), and choose a farmhouse design sink. choose all white and grey tones. best of luck....See MoreHelp with laundry/bathroom layout
Comments (22)Hi. This is the existing plan. Entrance is currently at front up four stairs (house on stumps). Or via back door on ground level that goes into current ground floor laundry. From laundry you walk up four steps into current dining. We are a family of five. Kids are now 8,6,4 - two youngest are in long side bedroom (has angled roofline), master bedroom is front middle room and oldest child is in bedroom that joins existing dining room. Kitchen is in the middle of the house (there’s a window to laundry from kitchen which would originally have been to outside before laundry enclosed and built in). We want to add another bedroom, deck and larger kitchen to cater for growing family but we are very limited with budget and need to do so smartly. House has high ceilings and VJ walls internally but fibro outside. Bathroom has been recently renovated. What we love about the house is that it is open and airy. We like smaller homes and those with a bit of character. TIA!...See MoreHelp with kitchen and laundry layouts
Comments (9)Hello jbakerfc, I can see how this can work. It needs to run in straight lines! As you step into the kitchen from entry immediately to your left is a linen/store/broom cupboard then wall to laundry door. Along the other wall an under bench WM, trough and one meter of benching makes laundry. (where it is now I'm guessing).Then use the full depth of that lost space for step in pantry with a cavity slider. 1400 wide by 1600 deep: enough to store feed the hungry hoards! This is that side taken care of! to the right as you enter from entry, is 'frige in situ. One long 3.5 m bench along the outside wall: stove right hand end of bench, closest to entry. At the other end place DW and SSS with chunk of bench between. There would be one meter from front of stove to side of 1.2 wide fridge then door to entry. In free space place an island bench: aprox 1.9 x 1.2 Working at this in kitchen you would have your back to the window and be looking into laundry. it would be wide enough for back to back cabinets or stools to traffic side or ends. I think the family room cabinet would swing round to back the bedroom. be great to put in cavity sliders instead to open it all up when you want to. I hope this makes sense to you. I do hope the living rooms are to the north for maximum solar gain to keep your heating bills to a minimum. Cheers Margot...See MoreBathroom with Laundry Layout Help
Comments (16)Hi James, I've got two configurations for you: The first thing to say is YOU NEED an air lock between bathroom and kitchen. Doing anything to this weight supporting wall between kitchen and this room is ok with engineering and steel! Plan A would work if the loo is in that exact place and hopefully the two doors will stop the dining/loo conversations. I think I prefer Plan B. Yes it is a shower only but a 1200 x 900 and this plan has hinge doors which are cheaper, although for the kitchen/laundry you could use a CSD. They are out of the way when you want it open. I like that both plans have heaps of storage options: I would suggest a dirty linen basket under trough (which could double as another vanity) No way the kids can miss putting the dead sox in the right place! Under bench washing machine frees the bench for sorting, folding, cat bed! under the bench can be dog bed, gardening stuff, sports equipment, etc, Then over head cupboards maybe 400 deep and 2100 long from 1400 above floor to ceiling (don't know what that is) with a rail under it to finish drying or airing clothes. The cupboard in either plan can be for linen, Chrissy tree, Hide and seek children, pantry or all of the above! And of course the vanity can have drawers/doors below bench.In plan B you could put a mirrored shaving cabinet into the wall, or Plan A would need to be proud of the wall because of the cavity sliding door. I would love to see you use clear glass in both windows as the outlook onto the garden becomes the feature and of course the laundry can have a full length view. I commend these plans to you and wish you my best service always. If you have questions or would like elevations, please do not hesitate to call. And may I suggest you pop a review on my profile here on Houzz so I can help others with their plans too. Regards Margot...See MoreMylongtermhome
