Laundry Room Design
SOMERSET
This smart bespoke laundry room design was commissioned by the owners of a large Georgian manor house in Somerset as part of a substantial renovation project.
Washing machines and tumble dryers were located in a cupboard in this bespoke laundry room
A bespoke drawer has been included in the design for dirty laundry
Painted in Farrow and Ball’s Pelt, it has endless storage space; with two washing machines, a tumble dryer and storage suitable for a large family. The room also features a Podab Drying Cabinet.
The Guild Anderson design team work in country houses of all sizes, and we recognise that many clients don’t have the space for a separate laundry room. Combining a boot room and a laundry room is sometimes the only option, in which case several things need to be considered, such as storing muddy boots outside under a covered area. Some clients might also choose to put their laundry rooms upstairs if they have space.
FEATURES
Podab Drying Cabinet
This laundry room design in Somerset features a sizeable cupboard housing a Podab drying cabinet, an appliance beautifully designed and made in Sweden.
Podab drying units have extremely short drying cycles and run on very low energy. They are equipped with humidity tracking to ensure the appliance stops at the right time, and they have double fans and air channels to create a perfect balance between evacuated and recirculated air. The end result is a highly efficient, quick drying process.
LAUNDRY ROOM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
If space is limited, we suggest storing items which are used less often up high, and if the room height can take it, we might integrate a ladder into the scheme.
We will also try to store detergents, cleaning fluids and sprays in a drawer for easy access. Shallow open shelves also work well for this purpose as well as for storing vases.
Stacking washing machines and tumble dryers also offers a sensible solution to free up floor space.
