Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 08, 2020 7:56 am Hi everyone, would love your thoughts on this small but significant part of our home. Any ideas on how the mud/laundry/wip layout could be done better? Is the WIP too small? I was hoping to have a second sink near the WIP, where it's out of site and move the cooktop? We were thinking of shuffling that whole section towards the island bench but then the wall won't be aligned with the opposite wall, which is the end of staircase and start of dining. Will this look weird?

If the gge access went out near the pwd/entry, then you could use the wall the gge door is currently on for mudroom storage. Where mudroom currently sticks out into WIP you could add to the pantry. I don't think I would move the wall the refrigerator is on - not because it could look silly, but when the doors are open, you still want space behind you. The other option you could explore would be closing access off between mudroom / laundry and kitchen. This would mean you access via gge to do the washing. But your wip could extend to where the current CSD is located all the way to the linen wall.

Yes, great idea, except I envisage the kids coming in from footy training straight into the mud room and dumping their bags and shoes etc in the mud room Re: Floor plan help 5May 08, 2020 11:31 am [/quote] Yes, great idea, except I envisage the kids coming in from footy training straight into the mud room and dumping their bags and shoes etc in the mud room[/quote] I couldnt think of anything worse off the kitchen tbh. I also wouldnt want to be tripping over that stuff whilst trying to do the laundry Re: Floor plan help 6May 08, 2020 11:49 am Are you able to post a photo of the complete downstairs floorplan?

This is a very tight fit, I'm not sure if you'll be able to achieve what you've described. Would you consider accessing the separate toilet from the laundry?
