What to factor in when renovating or designing a laundry

Renovating your laundry is the ideal time to build in proper ventilation. Consider window placement, ducting paths, and power sources for fans or dryers early in the process.

If you’re shifting your laundry location within the home, factor in whether it can easily vent to an outside wall or roof. Internal rooms may require mechanical systems to be fully effective.

Work with your builder or designer to incorporate ventilation solutions that don’t compromise aesthetics. Hidden ducting, flush-mounted fans, and automated sensors can blend into a sleek laundry design.

Future-proofing your laundry starts with planning. Even if you’re not installing mechanical ventilation right away, including ducting pathways, power points, and wall penetrations during the renovation will make future upgrades far simpler and less invasive. This foresight helps avoid cutting into finished walls or cabinetry later.

Finally, think about how ventilation fits into the daily rhythm of your household. Will windows be left open regularly, or do you need automation to manage airflow when no one is home? Integrated solutions like humidity sensors or timers on fans can quietly take care of moisture control without manual intervention. By treating ventilation as part of the core layout, not just an afterthought, your laundry becomes a better-performing space for years to come.
