Sharing a laundry with my boyfriend has become a source of constant frustration for me. While he’s generally awesome, his laundry habits are far from ideal. After football practice, he often tracks mud all over the tiles, despite my repeated requests for him to clean up after himself. And when he does his laundry, he never bothers to take his clean clothes out of the dryer, leaving them there for days on end. To my surprise, my boyfriend has suggested renovating our laundry as a solution to our laundry woes.

He’s been searching online for the best laundry renovations Melbourne has to offer and has been researching various companies that specialise in laundry renovations. At first, I was hesitant about the cost, but after some research, I discovered that many professional renovators are actually quite affordable. Considering the sorry state of our current laundry – outdated and with cracked tiles – I have to admit that renovating it does make sense. We’ve narrowed down our list to two professional laundry designers, one of whom is a sole trader operating out of his garage, while the other is a larger corporation with a team of specialists, including plumbers and interior designers. Price is a significant factor in our decision, but I’m also interested in reviewing the portfolios of each company to assess their capabilities in creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing laundry space.

My boyfriend believes that more space would greatly improve its usability. While I think he could be more responsible with his laundry habits, I do agree that a laundry renovation could benefit us both. Plus, the prospect of having a renovated laundry with modern features and efficient appliances is certainly appealing. Despite my initial reluctance, I’ve come to see the value in renovating our laundry. With the affordable solutions available from reputable laundry designers, it seems like a feasible fix to our laundry woes. I’m hopeful that a renovated laundry will also improve our overall laundry experience, making it a win-win situation for both of us.
