How to make the laundry your happy place

It all comes down to the little details. - by Rebecca Lowrey Boyd
  • 01 May 2020

The laundry is one of the most functional, yet neglected rooms in the home. So how can you make it a happier place?

We caught up with the renovation queens from Three Bird Renovations to answer all our questions. 

WATCH: Tara gives this laundry a gorgeous makeover

Three Birds Renovations, say: “A laundry needs to be functional, but it should also be a place that makes you feel good too – after all, we spend so much time in this room!

“We love candles, greenery (fresh or faux), a nice hand soap and hand towel. If you’ve got the room, a stool is sometimes a handy inclusion to reach things from higher shelves or sit down for a few minutes.”

Here, Bonnie, Lana and Erin from Three Birds share their top tips to create a more enjoyable laundry space.

1. Natural lighting is one of the biggest mood enhancers which will stop you feeling like you’re washing in a dungeon.

2. Good ventilation is a must to avoid mould and damp. In our latest home, we had a gorgeous round window that floods the whole room with light and gives a view of the garden.

3. Style your laundry to make it beautiful and a room you want to be in. Add a lovely candle to burn while you’re in there, or a stool to sit and take five while your family think you’re busy!

4. Choose high quality appliances that suit the needs of your family. Our pick is the Electrolux 10kg UltimateCare System (EWF14013) and 9kg Heat Pump Condenser Dryer (EDH3896GDW) which have handy time-saving and water-saving functions. 

5. We think space and storage are essential requirements in any good laundry design. That’s why we favour front loader washing machines, because they can sit under the counter to allow for more bench space.

6. Call us tapware tragics (we’re suckers for fancy fittings) but gorgeous wall-mounted tapware is one feature that we love most in a laundry. Laundries need no longer be the small, dark rooms of the past, that make doing your washing feel like even more of a chore than it is. Adding beautiful elements, like tapware you love, will elevate your whole laundry experience. At House 10, we chose the Scala Wall Sink Set from Reece in the most beautiful tumbled brass.
