Laundry Room & Area Design in Singapore
Laundry is a daily reality, and a well-planned laundry area — even a compact one — makes it far less of a chore. Here’s how to design one that works, whatever your space.
Key takeaways
- Plan space for washer, dryer, drying, sorting and storage.
- Stacking or side-by-side depends on your space.
- Ensure plumbing, drainage, power and ventilation.
- A little worktop and storage makes it far more usable.
Fit it to your space
Whether it’s a dedicated utility room, a service yard, or a cupboard, plan for the washer and dryer (side-by-side or stacked to save space), plus somewhere to hang-dry, sort and store detergents and baskets.
Get the services right
A laundry area needs a water supply and drainage for the washer, a power point for each appliance, and good ventilation (especially with a vented dryer or air-drying) to manage humidity. Plan these into the M&E.
Make it pleasant
A small worktop for folding, some storage, and decent lighting turn a functional corner into a genuinely usable laundry — worth the thought.
