Does creating a laundry area in your home seem like an impossible dream? Here are some tips for setting up a dedicated laundry area, whatever space you have available!
1. Choose the ideal location
First of all, you need to choose the area where you want to place your laundry area. Ideally, you should set aside a dedicated room near the bathroom or bedroom or, for larger homes, in the basement. If you have limited space, you can still create the space you need by using a hallway or an unused corner of the house.
2. Check that the room is suitable
Once you have chosen the ideal location, you need to check that the space is suitable for a laundry area, not so much in terms of size (as we have said, there are functional solutions even for small spaces), but it is essential to check that there is a water connection and a drain for the washing machine, an electrical socket and good ventilation to prevent mould and damp from forming.
3. Optimise space with fitted furniture
It is also essential to choose furniture specifically designed for this environment, equipped with a range of internal fittings to neatly store the washing machine, dryer, detergents, laundry, iron and anything else that may be useful for everyday use in this room. Wall units, wardrobes and drawers should therefore be carefully chosen based on the available space and various requirements. Among the Azzurra solutions for the laundry area, you will find a wide variety of modular options to customise each project.
4. Consider adding a sink
The washbasin may seem like a piece of furniture from a bygone era, but it is one of the most loved and used items in the laundry room. It is indispensable in many circumstances, for example for hand washing delicate fabrics, but also for having a large space where you can wash bulky items or fill buckets with water for cleaning the house. The Azzurra washbasins are available in a wide variety of sizes and with optional extras, such as a practical laundry board.
5. Customise your laundry area to suit your taste
Finally, appearance matters too! Consider all the options available when choosing the type of furniture, materials and finishes you prefer, so as to create an environment that is not only functional but also pleasant to live in.
