As real estate prices go up and with city living being so popular, many people find they are living in smaller homes. There is also a trend towards small living, as environmental awareness and sustainability becomes paramount for many people when building a home. Making the most of a small space means you may have to combine living spaces, to make the most of your existing space without extending on the home. Combining the bathroom and laundry makes sense practically and can be the easiest living spaces to combine. The plumbing is in place, the room is usually already waterproofed and is properly ventilated to handle condensation, making the transition easy and keeping expenses to a minimum. There are ways to make a combined Bathroom and Laundry work perfectly, including choosing the right cabinetry to hide washers/dryers, creating clever storage options and using spaces, such as bench tops for double duty.
Take a little inspiration from these clever combined spaces!
This stylish combined bathroom/laundry cleverly hides the white goods behinds bi-fold doors, making it easy to hide any untidy washing piles. I also love the way the tiles are continued into the splash back behind the laundry sink, giving the space cohesion, the added shelving is also a great storage bonus.
By choosing beautiful cabinetry, this small combined space has a luxe feel! Spending a little more on custom cabinetry in a small space like this gives a unique look and means that storage is used cleverly and the space has a nice finish. The black, white an wood finishes give this bathroom/laundry a contemporary feel.
This combined bathroom and laundry is all about that beautiful shelving. This is the perfect example of making the most of the space, having the washing machine and dryer stacked and created the shelving behind it means that there is plenty of storage. Small touches, like the vanity wood matching the wood of the shelves, make this room extra special and those huge sliding doors are perfection!
This sleek space once again uses clever cabinetry to hide the laundry, but the plain white doors are so simple that they almost disappear into the wall, making this a truly hidden laundry. With the simple way the laundry is incorporated into this room, this combined space is really all about the bathroom.
