The Block 2022

House 6 – Scotty & Team – Laundry

Concealing the clutter that accumulates with family living, Scotty and his team have created a multifunctional laundry that provides plenty of storage and style. The monochromatic colour palette ties the room with the nearby kitchen, achieved by Shaker-inspired Sierra cabinetry in Black Matt paired with marble-look Caesarstone® countertops in Aterra Blanca. Two new Freedom Kitchens handle styles have been included, the matte black Hampton Cups and Diecast Zinc Bars adding texture to enhance the other finishes. With a focus on ensuring the utility of the room, the washing and folding zones have been placed side by side, while keeping cleaning products within easy reach within cupboards. A hanging rail has been placed above a white ceramic Turner Hastings sink, allowing for clothes to drip or air dry. Tall storage with hanging space is found at one end, while at the other the Arched Pet Bed from Freedom Kitchens provides the perfect sleeping zone for any beloved fur child.
