Laundry renovations in Sydney that make life easier
Most laundries are an afterthought. A tub, a gap for the washing machine, a wobbly shelf and a pile of washing that never seems to shrink. Yet it's a room you use almost every day, and a well planned laundry saves real time and frustration.
Topline Kitchens & Bathrooms designs and builds laundry renovations across Sydney, from full laundry rooms in family homes to European laundries tucked neatly inside a kitchen or hallway. Every laundry is planned around your machines, your routine and your space, then built with the same cabinetry, benchtops and finishes we use in our kitchens.
Planning a laundry that works
A good laundry is all about flow. Dirty washing comes in, gets sorted, washed, dried or hung, folded and put away. When we design a laundry we think about each step:
- Machines. Side by side under a bench gives you a folding surface on top. Stacked saves floor space. We plan cabinetry around the exact models you have or want.
- Sorting. Pull out baskets or a built in hamper for lights, darks and towels.
- Drying. Hanging rails, a pull out drying rack or a ceiling airer for clothes that can't go in the dryer.
- Folding. A clear stretch of benchtop at a comfortable height.
- Storage. Tall cupboards for the vacuum, mop, ironing board and bulk cleaning products, plus overheads for everything else.
- Light and air. Good lighting and proper ventilation to keep the room fresh and stop moisture building up.
European laundries for apartments and terraces
If you don't have a separate laundry room, a European laundry can be a revelation. The washer, dryer, sink and a bit of storage sit inside cabinetry, often in the kitchen or a hallway, with doors that close over everything. When the doors are shut, you'd never know it was there.
European laundries are especially popular in Sydney apartments and in Inner West and inner city terraces, where every square metre counts. They do need careful planning for plumbing, drainage, ventilation and access, which is exactly what we handle.
Materials that stand up to daily use
Laundries cop a lot. Wet clothes, cleaning products, heavy baskets and machines that vibrate. We recommend:
- Moisture resistant cabinetry with quality hinges and drawer runners.
- Durable benchtops such as porcelain, compact laminate or sealed stone that won't mark easily.
- Hard wearing floor tiles with a slight texture so they aren't slippery when wet.
- A proper tub or deep sink for soaking, hand washing and rinsing muddy sports gear.
How much does a laundry renovation cost in Sydney?
As a rough guide:
| Laundry type | Typical investment |
|---|---|
| European laundry in existing space | $12,000 to $20,000 |
| Full laundry room renovation | $18,000 to $30,000 |
| Large laundry or mudroom with extensive cabinetry | $30,000+ |
These are indicative only, and every quote we provide is fixed and based on your actual layout. Combining a laundry with a kitchen or bathroom renovation can reduce the overall cost because trades are already on site.
