AI summary
A laundry renovation can add significant value and functionality to your home, with costs ranging from a basic refresh ($2k-$5k) to a high-end custom build ($20k+).
Key design ideas focus on maximising space and practicality. Consider stacking appliances, using a cavity slider, and installing wall-to-ceiling cabinetry. For enhanced usability, incorporate features like an XL sink, inbuilt laundry baskets, drawers for small items, and ample hanging space.
