If you’re dreaming of a new laundry but worried it will be too expensive, fear not! There are lots of ways to deliver the job within budget – and with all the bells and whistles you have your heart set on. The trick is knowing where to spend and where to save. We asked the experts for their top money-saving tips when it comes to laundry renovations, as well as their top picks for laundry products, including standout washers and dryers.
Like a kitchen without an oven, or a bathroom without a sink, a laundry simply isn’t a laundry without a quality washer and dryer. These hard-working machines should be central to your design and positioned within the room accordingly.
“It’s also worth considering which other appliances and items you may want to store in your laundry before planning your layout,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Laundry.
“If you want to store your vacuum cleaner, drying cabinet or iron in the laundry, make sure you incorporate appropriate cabinetry into your design to house them,” he says.
Choose a washer and dryer to save you time, suit your growing family and save on power bills for years to come:
Get great performance and reliability from washers and dryers to suit your budget:
If you’re handy on the tools, you’ll save a ton of money putting your laundry cabinets together yourself.
Former winner of TV’s The Block and Kinsman brand ambassador Lysandra Fraser suggests Kinsman’s Xpress Range of flat-pack cabinetry for your new-look laundry. “The Xpress Range is budget-friendly, and there are lots of different finishes and profiles to choose from,” Lysandra says. Xpress cabinetry can be delivered within 10 days, and Kinsman can recommend professional installers to get the job done fast.
How much space do you really need in your laundry? The answer is different for anyone, but if you want to save money or you’re tight on space, you might want to consider a European-style laundry that’s compact enough for a hall cupboard. That way, you can devote more space to other uses, such as that longed-for home office or bigger living room.
“If it’s possible to team your laundry with your kitchen or bathroom, this can save you money. Just remember if you’re creating a European laundry, the added cost of bi-fold doors to hide it behind can push the price up,” Lysandra says.
Leaving your washing machine, dryer and sink exactly where they are can save you big bucks in a laundry renovation.
“If you can work with the existing plumbing layout, it’s better for your bank account,” Lysandra says. “And then you can spend more on the cabinetry, finishes and appliances you’ve set your heart on.”
Good-looking, budget-friendly and water-resistant… what isn’t there to like about laminate benchtops?
“Laminate finishes have come a long way in recent years. There are loads to choose from, and it’s not like you’re entertaining in your laundry. When you’re budgeting, save stone benches for your kitchen and bathroom,” Lysandra says.
