Laundry

A good laundry design makes everyday jobs easier. Whether you are soaking clothes, rinsing sports gear, hand washing delicates or dealing with muddy shoes, the right sink and tap setup will influence how well the room works. This guide walks you through the key products to consider so you can build a laundry that is practical, efficient and easy to maintain.

Choose Your Laundry Sink: Undermount vs Topmount vs Tap Landing

Your sink is the centre of your laundry. The size, material and installation style all shape how the space functions.

Undermount Laundry Sinks

Undermount sinks create a clean, seamless benchtop. Because the rim sits beneath the surface, you gain more usable bench space and easier cleaning. These suit stone benchtops and modern laundry layouts.

Topmount Laundry Sinks

Topmount models drop in from above and create a visible rim around the edge. They are easy to install and work well with both laminate and stone surfaces. This is a versatile option if you want strong practicality and simple installation.

Tap Landing Laundry Sinks

Tap landing sinks include a raised platform at the back of the bowl. This protects the wall and benchtop from splashes and keeps the tap area tidy. They are ideal for households that handle soaking, scrubbing or heavier cleaning tasks.

Square and Round Laundry Sinks

Square sinks offer sharp, modern lines and maximise internal volume. Round sinks suit compact laundries or areas where you want a softer, more traditional shape. Both styles come in single and double configurations.

Small and Large Laundry Sinks

Small laundry sinks are perfect for apartments, compact laundries or homes that rely more on machines than hand washing. Large laundry sinks suit families, outdoor gear, sports equipment and any routine that needs space for soaking or rinsing.

The Best Materials for Laundry Sinks

Laundry sinks face more rough use than bathroom basins. Choosing the right material makes a noticeable difference to durability and ease of cleaning.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is one of the most popular choices for laundries. It is strong, lightweight, stain resistant and easy to maintain. Brushed or polished finishes help hide wear from pots, buckets and scrubbing brushes.

Granite Composite

Granite composite offers a thicker, more stone-like feel. It resists scratches and heat, and its matte finish suits modern laundry designs. A good choice if you want a sink that stays looking new over time.

Fireclay

Fireclay gives you a glossy, high-density finish that resists stains and high temperatures. It works well in white or neutral laundries and suits both traditional and contemporary spaces.

Simplify Laundry Time with the Right Tapware

Your tap choice affects reach, flexibility and how efficiently you can handle laundry tasks.

Pull Out Laundry Mixer Taps

Pull out mixers are the most convenient choice for laundries. The extendable hose helps with rinsing, filling buckets, washing shoes and cleaning the sink. They suit both topmount and undermount sinks.

Dual Spray Laundry Mixer Taps

Dual spray mixers give you two functions in one. You can switch between a standard flow and a wider spray pattern, which is useful for rinsing clothes or cleaning larger items quickly.

Standard Laundry Mixer Taps

These mixers offer simple, reliable performance with a fixed spout. They suit most laundry designs and come in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and other popular finishes.

Match Your Fixture Finishes for a Cohesive Laundry

Your laundry should feel calm and organised. Matching materials and finishes help create this effect.

Chrome

Bright and classic. Works with stainless steel and white sinks.

Brushed Nickel

Soft and modern. Hides fingerprints more effectively than polished finishes.

Matte Black

A bold contrast that suits timber cabinetry or light benchtops.

White and Colour Finishes

White sinks with matching white tapware create a clean, minimalist look
