Browse Forums Laundry 1 Oct 13, 2010 12:16 pm Not a bathroom question but figured this was the right place. So, I saw in the latest bunnings catalogue a laundry overhead cupboard unit that had a pull out drying rack inside Its on the back page of this http://www.bunnings.com.au/emag/bunning ... s-flyer_wa I LOVE this idea, being able to dry stuff up out of the reach of little hands, out of the way, not somewhere people will see. I'm sure there are other versions (I'm going to check my haefele catalogue as soon as I can find it) but my question is about the lift up cupboard, which would mean not having cupboards to the ceiling which was my original plan. So for those that have cupboards with a gap between the top and the ceiling, how much dust do they gather? my new build thread- Ben Trager https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89826 my switch build thread (2011) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36569 Re: Tell me about your laundry overheads 2Oct 14, 2010 10:16 am alot! especially if in laundry, well from the dryer and the fluff stuff it tends to blow absolutely everywhere you can cap it off though. .

Besides being worried about it vibrating off the wall, it'd just seem a hassle to get stuff out of the bottom of it. I like the idea of clothes hanging cupboard, though again, its a question of durability.

Just get the cabinet maker to include bulkheads for the cabinets. This will let you have a lift up door and not have a gap between the cabinets and the ceiling.
