Expert Laundry Renovations
The laundry doesn’t get much credit. It’s where the washing, the ironing, the school uniforms and the muddy boots all end up, yet most homes give it the smallest, most awkward room in the house.
At Hatch Renovations, we design and build laundries across Perth that earn their keep. Not just a wash day fix, but a space that’s planned properly, built well and made to last.
Our team handles design and project management under one roof, so whether you’ve got room to move or a tight European laundry, the result is practical first and good-looking second. Both, ideally. But practical first.
Most laundry problems aren’t design problems. They’re flow problems. The machine’s in the wrong spot, there’s nowhere to fold, the iron lives on top of the dryer because there’s nowhere else for it to go.
We start by working out how you actually use the room, then build the layout around that. Bench height that doesn’t wreck your back. Storage sized for what you actually store, not a generic shelf. A proper home for the broom, the vacuum, the ironing board, so they’re not just propped in a corner.
Get that right, and the laundry stops being the room you avoid.
Small laundry or large, the goal’s the same: use every centimetre properly.
In tighter spaces, that means custom cabinetry and cupboards that run to the ceiling, claiming vertical storage most laundries waste. Overhead cupboards keep clutter out of sight without eating into the floor. Pull-out and built-in hampers keep washing contained instead of piling up. A drying cupboard or indoor hanging rail means wet weather doesn’t put your washing on hold, which in Perth’s case is most of winter.
A compact European laundry benefits hugely from a stacked washer and dryer, freeing up floor space that’s otherwise impossible to find. Larger rooms tend to suit a U-shaped layout, with bench space and storage working together rather than competing. Add natural light, decent task lighting, and a few finishing touches where there’s room for them, and it stops feeling like a utility space and starts feeling like part of the house.
Front loader or top loader? Decide that early. It shapes everything else, the layout, the bench space, where the sink and storage end up.
We plan the cabinetry around the machines you’ll actually use, sort out plumbing and waterproofing before anything else starts, and wherever possible keep the machines, sink and services close to where they already sit. Less disruption to plumbing and electrical means less disruption to your budget.
We’re upfront about cost from the quote stage, talking you through where it’s worth spending and where it isn’t, whether you’re after a straightforward refresh or a premium build.
Perth’s heat and humidity aren’t kind to laundries. Poor ventilation and the wrong materials, and you’re looking at mould and tired finishes within a few years.
We plan for airflow from the outset and choose materials that are built for the job: water-resistant benchtops, cabinetry that holds up, flooring and tiles that shrug off spills and the heat coming off the dryer. Quality materials, trusted suppliers, no shortcuts. It’s the difference between a laundry that looks good on handover day and one that still looks good in five years.
Hatch Design Studio
This is where Hatch does things differently. At our appointment-only Hatch Design Studio in Osborne Park, you see and feel your selections before committing to anything, benchtops, cabinetry, tapware, tiles, side by side rather than guessed at from a sample chip.
One of our interior designers walks you through the trade-offs, lead times and maintenance that come with each choice, so the decision-making doesn’t fall entirely on you. The result is a laundry that ties in properly with the rest of the house, not a room that feels bolted on.

Hatch Renovations is fully licensed and insured.
We’ve also picked up some recognition along the way: HIA WA Laundry Renovation of the Year in both 2022 and 2024, plus a finalist placing for Excellence in Service in 2023.
Clear timelines, no surprises on cost, and a process that’s enjoyable rather than something to get through. Plenty of clients pair their laundry with a kitchen or bathroom upgrade or roll it into a full home renovation. If you’re after a laundry renovation done properly in Perth, this is what we do.
FAQs
Quicker than a kitchen or bathroom, usually, though scope, selections and any plumbing or electrical changes will affect the timeline. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you posted as the job moves.
Definitely, and it’s a job we genuinely enjoy. Tight footprints reward clever cabinetry and a smart layout more than almost any other space in the house.
We do. Your project manager coordinates every trade, the installation and the schedule, so you’re not the one chasing people up.
