WHAT ABOUT WATERPROOFING?
“Washing machines leak, moisture builds up and floors can be completely ruined without
correct waterproofing,” Daniela says. Costs vary, depending on the size of the space, but
you can expect to pay from $300 to $400 for a standard size, she adds.

STORE AND ORDER
You can never have enough storage, and the laundry is no exception. Daniela says vertical
options such as tallboy cupboards, either hung or free-standing, means items like irons,
ironing boards, vacuum cleaners, hampers and baskets can be easily kept out of sight. She
also advises utilising all areas, especially if you’re redesigning an existing room. “Every
awkward space can have its purpose; think about incorporating items such as towel rails,
robe hooks, portable storage and unique shelving into those tricky gaps,” she says.
