The makeover of my laundry room including fun DIY, by @homefreak.nl

When we moved, I suddenly had the luxury of a laundry room. Well, let's be honest, it's just a laundry room. Enough space for my washing machine, dryer and to dry all my laundry. Now I want to turn it into a laundry mecca, so I am sharing with you the process of making over my laundry room.

Description from Kimberly (@homefreak.nl)

A laundry room must of course be practical above all. Doing laundry is something that should not take up too much time because I don't think it is anyone's hobby. However, you can make it more enjoyable by turning it into a beautiful and fun space. Of course, no one will be happy in a boring and bare room. In addition, a well-organized and tidy laundry room really adds value. So my plan was to design the laundry room in such a way that it is practical, but also fits in with the rest of the house.

Make a washing machine conversion

We have a tumble dryer, a washing machine, a freezer and a small fridge in the laundry room. Handy, but not too pretty such a pile of white goods. We therefore wanted to make a conversion for the white goods. The tumble dryer, washing machine and freezer are visible in the cabinet, but the small fridge is placed behind a door and there is also room for a laundry basket. How exactly did we make this enclosure? I share it below:

OPMAATZAGEN.nl

Since we had and have a bit too many chores in our new house, we opted for convenience. We ordered all the wood already fully customised from OPMAATZAGEN.nl. Super easy and it saves a lot of time because all you have to do is put it together. You can really have all kinds of wood and board material cut to size to the mm. We chose Dark Pine, but of course you can also choose spruce, beech, oak, maple and so on. You simply enter your sizes, quantity and you can also choose a finish. What also immediately struck me is that you can also order other shapes. You can go for a circle, for example. So you can very easily order your own tabletop for a round table!

Step 1: Make a drawing

It's best to already have all your equipment in the room so that you have a good idea of what the conversion will look like. Then measure everything. Make sure there is enough space around the white goods so you can fit them in properly. Make a drawing in which you clearly write down all the measurements. It's handy because you can also use this drawing as a guide when you start putting it together.

Step 2: Order the wood

So normally I would be writing here about how to cut the wood, but if, like me, you choose convenience, you can thus easily order your wood to size. Choose the sizes and finish and check before you order.

Step 3: Assembling

Once you have received the wood, you can start working with the drawing you made. It then actually works just like an IKEA cupboard that you assemble. Put all the wood in a logical place so you can screw it together quickly and easily. We also reinforced the back with some leftover board material we had lying around.

The finishing touch

Of course, you can also style a laundry room super fun. Use baskets for your pegs, pour your detergent into pretty bottles or simply remove the labels and dress it all up with some fun decoration.
