As one of the family’s children needs additional support, having enough room for a carer to help them with their daily hygiene routines was crucial. While the room size couldn’t change, additional space was created by removing the previously outgrown bath and hob. Removing these, and the corner shower, improved the ergonomics of the space, and provided provision for wheelchair access if needed. Better accessibility and light flow were also created by widening the doorway and installing an easily maintainable soft-close barn door. The inclusion of an intelligent toilet enables the disabled user to utilise it independently.

Under-floor heating provides improved air quality and comfort. The ceiling exhaust fan ensures superior removal of condensation, while a natural cross flow of air is achieved through the existing awning window. Ample storage was created via a generous recessed wall cabinet and 1-metre wide drawers in the vanity. A ledge wall provides shelf storage for toiletries and potted greenery, and the tiled window ledge also doubles as a shelf. Warm LED sensor lighting under the vanity and mirror cabinet creates a calming ambience, while task lighting is provided via ceiling downlights when needed.

This project was nominated for the KBDI Design Awards 2024 in the Instinct Interiors category. The KBDI Design Awards program is a well-established and highly regarded event held annually to showcase Australia’s top kitchen and bathroom designers.

Blum’s AVENTOS lift systems combine quality, reliable hardware with a modern look that complements many designs, whether it be vibrant, neutral, or dark palettes.

AVENTOS lift systems are suitable for almost every overhead storage application. By moving cabinet fronts up and out of the way, homeowners experience complete freedom of movement around the space without needing to duck and weave around open cabinet doors. This feature is convenient in the kitchen when doing activities such as preparing a meal and entertaining guests, or unpacking items from the dishwasher into overhead cabinets. In the home office setting, AVENTOS cabinets can be left open throughout the workday, so items are always readily available to improve your productivity. Homeowners can also leave overhead cabinets open in the bathroom during the morning rush, or in the wardrobe while choosing their outfit for the day.

When leaving AVENTOS overhead cabinets open throughout the day, it’s important to consider the style and design of your cabinet interiors. With sleek and modern cover cap designs available in silk-white, light-grey and dark-grey options, homeowners and renovators are able to carry the room’s aesthetics into the cabinet interior.

With soft-close BLUMOTION as standard, AVENTOS ensures overhead cabinets close gently, no matter what level of force is applied. Whether you’re in the middle of the breakfast or dinner rush, AVENTOS kitchen applications will close quietly behind you. While working from home, overhead cabinets can be closed quickly and silently before starting your virtual meetings.

Homeowners can further enhance the functionality of their overhead storage units around the home by incorporating Blum’s motion technologies. With the TIP-ON mechanical opening support system and SERVO-DRIVE electrical opening support system, users can achieve an even more sophisticated experience when opening and closing overhead cabinets.

The range of AVENTOS lift systems delivers several varied applications to ensure homeowners can use them for various applications, not only in the kitchen but throughout the home. Whether there are tricky spaces around kitchen and laundry appliances, or surrounding the bathroom mirror, the AVENTOS range ensures homeowners can utilise overhead storage spaces with ease everywhere in the home.

Luckily, Spaceflexx has arrived in Australia! This unique drawer insert comes with a full frame and 5 elastic dividers to fit containers of any size, and goods in between them. The flexible interior partitioning system adjusts to the size of your containers, preventing them from falling out. And if you choose to store liquid goods between it and they happen to spill, the elastic dividers are also machine washable – making it extra easy to keep clean.

However, as this drawer insert comes with a full frame, your drawer needs to have specific measurements to make sure it fits! You need to have an internal depth of 500mm and a minimum height of 130mm. The width is adjustable from 472mm to 520mm.

As this is a brand new product to our Australian market, we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. Hearing from people who tested the insert, we’ve been told it comes in handy in far more areas than just the kitchen. Mums have used it to organise the often dreaded toy drawer. Photographers stored various size lenses in between, and families like to organise their bathroom drawer with it. Simple but efficient, that’s what we love most about clever storage solutions.

Keeping your home tidy can be so easy with the right tools to hand. Open your drawers with joy as you can be sure, everything will still be in its place.

1. TOWEL LADDER

An ideal solution for individuals or large families sharing a bathroom, towel ladders sport a simple design that allows multiple towels to dry in the same space. Combine this functional product with a seating option and you have a bathroom must-have. The RÅGRUND, from IKEA, is small-bathroom friendly, with space for three towels and an extra shelf at its base. ikea.com/au/en

2. TROLLEY

We’re not talking about the supermarket type here. Trolleys are one of our favourite forms of storage as they are mobile and easily accessible, meaning you’ll be able to wheel around personal grooming and styling items to suit yourself. They can also hold towels in a location of your choice. Cheery and bright, the Car-Met Engioi storage trolley in yellow is one example of a fun way to spice up your space and add functionality. limelace.co.uk

3. WALL-HUNG OPTIONS

When considering storage, think outside the standard vanity. Your space can be gorgeous and minimalist with storage integrated via wall-hung drawers and cabinets. The Gino Cassetto and Open Vitrinas are two options for incredible functional and aesthetically pleasing storage solutions, so you can have the sleek space you desire. adpaustralia.com.au

4. BASKETS

Aesthetically pleasing, portable and an easy way to confine clutter, baskets are great to hold towels or dirty clothes in a small space. While not unusual in itself, the Saardé wire basket certainly is unique in design. A collapsible frame handcrafted in India using powder-coated wire, this basket is minimalist, rustic and full of character. saarde.com

Laundry day can often feel like a sixth day of work. How can good laundry organisation change a chore into something, dare we say, enjoyable?

I: The secret is creating a seamless design that effortlessly helps keep everything organised and easy in your laundry space. The best question to ask yourself is: is it practical? Assess how you will be using your space and all the tasks involved, then arrange your space to allow enough room to complete all your tasks in a flowing nature — ensure dirty laundry can go straight from the basket to the washing machine, then through to drying and onto the countertop for folding.

The laundry can easily become the dumping ground for all the miscellaneous items that don’t quite have a place anywhere. What are some of the best ways to keep a laundry full of diverse items organised?

I: An organised space will always keep you feeling calm and on top of your daily tasks. Although the laundry may not always be top of mind when it comes to the home, it is still important to create clutter-free areas that work to your needs. A trick is to make the most of unused space. Think vertically and use walls and nooks if possible to find space where you didn’t even know you had it. Use combinations of shelves, closed storage, rails or baskets to store things that are used often. By using the height of the wall, you are maximising your storage potential and reducing clutter from surfaces, making room for other tasks such as sorting and folding. Empty wall space behind doors is often overlooked, but makes for great storage of extra supplies or miscellaneous items. Store your ironing board behind the door or install hooks to hang clean clothes.

What are some situations that encourage inefficient storage and how can these be avoided?

I: It’s important to always keep surface areas clean and clutter free. The best way to do this is to create clever storage solutions to organise your items. Clever storage is about finding what suits your needs — this may mean using hidden storage to ensure everything is tucked away or labelling your storage to ensure everything is always put back in its place. Even if your laundry is quite small, it doesn’t have to be bigger to work better — strive for an uncluttered practical layout. When it comes to dirty clothes, often they don’t make it to the laundry and wind up piled around the house, from the bathroom to the bedroom and beyond. Look to using laundry baskets on castors that can easily move between spaces and always remember that less is more. Strive for an uncluttered layout to make your laundry feel more spacious. An easy way to start is to separate and label your laundry baskets to suit the way you wash. Label tubs to separate work clothes, school uniforms or delicates, or to split up your dark and white colours. Alternatively, you can organise your laundry baskets so that everyone in the family has their own.

Are there any products that you would recommend?

I: The GRUNDTAL laundry series (from $39.99) is great to kick-start your organisation haul. There are a lot of smart ideas, like a wall-mounted drying rack that folds when you’re not using it, a laundry bag with castors and a movable rack stand that can be placed in any room of the home.
The MULIG laundry series (from $7.99) offers the basics you need for sorting, storing and drying your garments and suits even the smallest of spaces.

This range of clever, space-saving vanity units has been created for modern living. Featuring innovative storage solutions, the Small Spaces range provides a variety of storage solutions in several sizes. It allows you to customise the look and feel of your bathroom with a choice of bevel-grip, finger-pull or handle options, all available in a wide range of finishes.

When designing a small bathroom, the objective is often to create the illusion of space and there are key features to consider. We recommend using light wall colours combined with large mirrors to open up the area and extend the powder room beyond its footprint. A wall-hung vanity and toilet will create the illusion of space by showing more of the floor, while also providing the benefit of added storage underneath.

The Small Spaces range means you don’t need to sacrifice style to save space. It was created to provide maximum storage in rooms of all sizes and is classically designed yet still on trend.
