Laundry Design That Transforms Your Laundry Room into a Hardworking, Beautiful Space
The laundry room is one of the most-used spaces in any home, yet it is often the last to receive meaningful design attention. A well planned laundry makes washing, drying, folding, and sorting feel effortless instead of like a chore. Whether you have a generous, dedicated laundry room or a compact European-style cupboard, thoughtful laundry design turns a purely functional area into a space that is organised, efficient, and genuinely pleasant to spend time in.
At Farache Kitchens, we bring the same attention to detail we are known for in our kitchen and wardrobe work to every laundry project.

From joinery and cabinetry to appliance integration and material selection, we design laundries that work as hard as you do.

Smart Laundry Layouts and Zoning for Every Home
Great laundry design starts with the layout. How you zone the space determines how smoothly your daily routine flows and how much functionality you can achieve within the available footprint. A galley layout positions cabinetry and appliances along two parallel walls, creating a compact yet efficient workflow. U shaped layouts wrap around three walls, offering maximum bench space, storage, and sorting room. For homes where the laundry shares space with a bathroom or mudroom, integrated designs keep both functions accessible without feeling cramped.
European style compact laundries are increasingly popular in Sydney apartments, where a full laundry room is concealed behind bifold or sliding doors within a hallway or kitchen. Vertical layouts with stacked washer and dryer units free up valuable floor area for folding and storage. Garage and external laundry setups are suitable for homes where separating wet areas from the main living areas is preferred. Whatever your floor plan, we design a layout that makes every centimetre count.
Custom Joinery Built for Busy Laundries
The joinery in your laundry needs to be as robust as it is well designed. Overhead cabinets provide essential storage for detergents, cleaning supplies, and household items, keeping them accessible yet out of sight. Base cabinets with generous bench space provide a dedicated surface for folding, sorting, and stain treatment. Pull out hamper units concealed within the cabinetry make sorting whites, darks, and delicates effortless. Tall broom and linen cupboards keep bulkier items neatly contained.
We use waterproof laminated boards and moisture resistant substrates throughout every laundry room we build, ensuring the cabinetry withstands the humidity and splashes that come with daily use. Floating shelves add visual interest and handy open storage for frequently used items. Soft close hinges and drawer slides are fitted as standard, adding a quiet, refined feel to every interaction. It is this attention to detail in the joinery that elevates a simple laundry into a well considered part of your home.

Custom Laundry Design Crafted For Your Space
Transform your home with bespoke joinery designed to suit your lifestyle. From kitchens and wardrobes to vanities and storage solutions, we deliver precision craftsmanship, premium materials, and seamless finishes tailored to you.
Appliance Integration, Folding Bench Space, and Practical Work Zones
How your appliances are positioned within the design has a significant impact on both the look and the usability of the space. Front-loading washing machines and dryers can be positioned side by side beneath bench space, leaving a clean, unbroken work surface above. Stacked units with custom joinery surrounds save floor area and create a streamlined appearance. Concealed appliance configurations hide the washer and dryer behind matching cabinetry doors for a seamless finish that suits open plan or combined room layouts.
Functional work zones complete the picture. A dedicated folding bench keeps clean laundry off the floor and at a comfortable working height. Pull out ironing boards tuck away when not in use, saving space in smaller setups. Overhead hanging rails provide a convenient spot to air-dry delicates directly above the sink or work area. A quality laundry sink with well chosen tapware is essential for hand washing and soaking. Sorting and storage drawers keep everything in its place. Adequate ventilation and exhaust systems manage moisture and maintain a fresh, comfortable environment. Every element is planned around the manufacture and installation of joinery that brings it all together.
Durable Materials, Surfaces, and Design Styles for Modern Laundries
The materials in your laundry must balance durability, moisture resistance, and visual appeal. Laminate and melamine cabinetry provide a hard wearing, easy-to-clean surface available in a wide range of colours and textures. Stone and composite benchtops resist stains, heat, and moisture, making them ideal for high use work surfaces. Waterproof flooring options, such as porcelain tiles and luxury vinyl plank, handle spills and splashes with ease. Tiled, glass, or acrylic splashbacks protect walls behind the sink and appliances while adding a design feature to the room.
When it comes to style, your laundry should feel like a natural extension of your home. A minimalist concealed design keeps everything hidden behind uniform cabinetry doors for a calm, uncluttered look. Hamptons and shaker style profiles add classic character with panelled doors and brushed hardware. Modern white on white schemes feel fresh and clean, while natural tones and textured finishes bring warmth and a tactile quality. Scandinavian inspired clean lines suit compact spaces where simplicity is key. We help you choose a style that complements your kitchen and living areas for a cohesive feel throughout your home.
Smart Features, Sustainability, and Expert Manufacture and Installation
Modern laundry design goes beyond cabinetry and layout. LED task lighting illuminates work surfaces and sorting areas, while motion sensor lighting activates automatically when you enter the room. Water saving appliances and energy efficient dryers reduce running costs and support a more environmentally responsible household. For homes with the infrastructure, greywater recycling integration allows wash water to be redirected to gardens, reducing overall water consumption.
Smart home compatibility lets you monitor laundry and control your laundry appliances from your phone, adding convenience to every wash cycle. At Farache Kitchens, we manage the complete manufacture and installation of every laundry room project, from initial design consultation and 3D visualisation through to precision joinery construction and on site fitting. Our experienced installers ensure every panel is aligned, every drawer operates smoothly, and every surface is finished with the attention to detail our clients expect. All workmanship is backed by warranty, and our team remains available for aftercare support well after the project is complete.

A professional laundry design service covers every aspect of planning, building, and installing a functional and visually cohesive laundry space. The process begins with an in home consultation where our team assesses your available space, discusses your daily laundry habits, and explores your preferred style and budget. From there, we develop a detailed layout that addresses zoning, appliance placement, cabinetry configuration, and material selection. 3D visualisation tools allow you to see exactly how your new laundry will look and feel before any construction begins. The manufacture and installation phase follows, where precision joinery is built in our local workshop and then fitted on site by experienced installers. Every element, from overhead cabinets and bench surfaces to pull out hampers and hanging rails, is tailored to your specific needs. The result is a laundry room that is efficient, organised, and designed to complement the rest of your home. Aftercare support and warranty coverage are included as standard.
Absolutely. Small laundries are one of the most rewarding spaces to design because every centimetre must work hard. European style compact layouts conceal a full laundry behind bifold or sliding doors within a hallway cupboard or kitchen recess. Stacking the washer and dryer vertically frees up floor area for a folding bench, storage drawers, and a small sink. Overhead cabinets capture vertical space that would otherwise go unused, while pull out hamper units and retractable ironing boards tuck away neatly when not in use. Slim profile cabinetry and floating shelves add storage without overwhelming the room. Reflective surfaces such as gloss laminates and light coloured tiles help the space feel larger and brighter. At Farache Kitchens, we regularly design compact laundries for Sydney apartments and townhouses that deliver all the functionality of a full sized laundry room within a fraction of the footprint. The key is smart planning, quality materials, and joinery that is built to exact measurements.
The best materials for laundry cabinetry and benchtops are those that combine moisture resistance, durability, and easy maintenance. For cabinetry carcasses, moisture resistant MDF and HMR board are excellent choices that withstand the humid conditions found in every laundry. Laminate and melamine surfaces provide a hard wearing, wipe clean finish available in hundreds of colours and textures. For benchtops, engineered stone such as Caesarstone offers outstanding resistance to stains, heat, and moisture, making it ideal for high use work surfaces. Composite benchtops provide a more budget friendly alternative with similar performance characteristics. Waterproof flooring is essential, with porcelain tiles and luxury vinyl plank being the most popular options for Australian laundries. Splashbacks in tile, glass, or acrylic protect the walls behind sinks and appliances while adding a design feature. At Farache Kitchens, we select every material for its long term performance in real world laundry conditions, ensuring your space looks and functions beautifully for years to come.
The cost of a custom laundry design and renovation in Sydney depends on several factors, including the space size, selected materials and finishes, and the complexity of the layout and appliance integration. A compact laundry renovation with standard laminate cabinetry, a basic benchtop, and simple plumbing typically costs between $3,000 and $5,000. Mid--range projects featuring stone benchtops, soft close hardware, pull-out hampers, and custom overhead storage generally fall between six thousand and ten thousand dollars. Premium laundry renovations with full height joinery, concealed appliance integration, feature splashbacks, and high end finishes can range from twelve thousand to twenty thousand dollars or more. Plumbing and electrical work, if required, are additional costs that depend on the scope of modifications needed. At Farache Kitchens, we provide transparent, itemised quotes so you can plan your budget with confidence and understand exactly what is included in your project.
The timeline for a custom laundry design and installation project typically spans four to seven weeks from the initial consultation through to completion. The design phase takes approximately one to two weeks, including an in home assessment, detailed measurements, layout planning, material selection, and 3D visualisation for your review and approval. Once the design is finalised, manufacturing in our workshop takes three to four weeks depending on the size and complexity of the cabinetry and joinery involved. On site installation for a standard laundry generally takes two to three days, covering cabinetry fitting, benchtop installation, splashback application, and final hardware adjustments. If plumbing or electrical modifications are required, these are coordinated in advance to minimise disruption. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time. At Farache Kitchens, we provide a clear project schedule from the outset and keep you informed at every milestone, ensuring your new laundry is delivered on time and to the high standard of craftsmanship you expect.
