Selecting the Right Laundry Room Renovation

Posted by Principal Renovations on June 14th, 2021

Laundry room renovations are not a quick fix solution to your problem. They should be looked at as a long term investment that will help you save money and also maintain the space which is very useful for keeping laundry. Many people want to renovate their rooms but do not know what to do and how to start. Here are some tips to help you plan your renovation.

A laundry room renovation isn't only about installing a brand new washing machine or changing the colour of the wall. Well designed laundry room renovations add: style and practicality, design and layout services, plumbing, electrical work, painting and adding new appliances to improve the functionality. Planning for the improvements is essential. You want to make sure you have the correct facilities for laundry rooms and the space available. Here are some ideas for your first renovation.

The first thing you should look at is whether you have natural light coming in from a window or not. This is especially important if you live in a house where natural light is scarce (as it is in New Zealand). You can use skylights or install glass panels to let some natural light in. Alternatively, you could choose to build a partition to allow full light into the laundry room. If you decide to install glass panels, make sure that they are tempered, as they are a far better option for safety than regular pane windows.

The next step for your renovation is choosing the style of your cabinets. There are two types of laundry room cabinets: the open face and the hinged cabinet. You will need to consider the amount of space available to build your new cabinets: open-faced cabinets are usually cheaper to build, while hinged cabinets are more expensive.

You will also need to take the size of your existing cupboards into account when choosing your new cabinets. Large laundry rooms will need tall cabinets; smaller spaces can be addressed with corner cabinets. One important aspect to consider is how much light your new cabinets will require. Light is an essential element in the design elements of any room. You will need plenty of task lighting, and wall lights might be needed for general lighting. Consider the type of lighting you need, and how each fixture will affect overall lighting design.

Lighting should be considered in terms of both general lighting and task lighting. The lighting you install for your laundry area will provide general light, which is required for both looking at the clothes and doing laundry. task lighting helps to direct where people are working and moving around the laundry area, while general lighting helps to ensure privacy and the safety of customers while using the laundry area. Your new cabinets should also incorporate an efficient electrical system to ensure your customers are able to use your washing machines easily and safely.

One very important thing to remember when embarking on any laundry room renovations is safety. If you have small children or pets, you may want to consider a security system. You may also want to consider exhaust fans to reduce the amount of dust that is released during laundering and dry cleaning. Safety precautions should always be a priority when undertaking a major home improvement project.

Most of these cabinets open up completely, allowing you to store items and fold them right on the spot. This means you can keep all your linens right at the front of the house, so you do not have to go searching for the laundry room table every time you need something. For those customers who use a lot of towels, hampers, and stackable baskets, these types of cabinets make perfect storage solutions. If your laundry room has a washer/dryer combination set, you will also need cabinets for these appliances as well.
