L
ack of space is a common prompt for a laundry reno, but in the case of this Melbourne unit the issue was too much space. “You could have had four machines in there!” says homeowner Ben. “It was the sort of room you’d have for a big family.” For a two-bedroom apartment this was too much of a good thing, so the laundry was reconfigured into a cupboard tucked behind sliding doors.
The maximum amount of storage was top priority when designing the space
Choosing Kaboodle Kitchen cabinetry was a no-brainer – the same finishes are in the new kitchen, giving a sense of cohesion, plus Ben was comfortable putting it together with help from some friends. “We’re the type of guys who will YouTube it until we work it out!” he says. Ben further flexed his DIY muscles, taking on everything from tiling and plastering to painting, to create a space that’s as good-looking as it is functional. bunnings.com.au |
