1. Style side by side

Make laundry day more efficient with separate washing and drying devices, enabling two loads to be done simultaneously – great for large households.

2. Personality in paint

Get creative, like @martharileynash, who added a playful splash of pink to their utility with paintable cupboards, customised in a pastel hue.

3. Select serene shades

Try a soothing grey colour to create a calming backdrop for laundry chores – as @this_london_home demonstrates with their slate-grey cupboards.

4. Go combo

Maximise space with a dual-use model, like @renovatingnumber8 has done in their small laundry room, combining two functions in one machine.

5. Craft a classic

Use warm neutrals to create a welcoming feel – this sandstone scheme from @my_best_laid_plans offers a cosy atmosphere for daily chores.

6. Dive into dark hues

Follow @the_rising_home's lead and create a dramatic black interior with deep-hued cupboards and dark laundry devices.

7. Return to rustic

Channel farmhouse style by pairing shaker fronts with panelled walls, as @the_dormer_window_house has done in their cosy, country laundry room.

8. Stack it up

Make it easier to load laundry or transfer wet garments by stacking machines vertically in a unit to recreate @lustliving's ergonomic set-up.

9. Be neat and unique

Replicate @Paulwest’s design by using tall cupboards to combine a laundry and dressing area, where clean clothes can be stored away or picked for the day.

10. Take a seat

Build a custom bench for a place to perch between laundry loads or store detergents – @home_at_edale used our door-fronts for a bespoke look.
