SMALL IN SIZE BUT BIG ON STYLE, THIS COMPACT LAUNDRY IS PROOF THAT PRACTICAL CAN STILL BE PRETTY

- HOLLY BYRNE

Character and charm aren't often associated with a utilitarian room such as the laundry, but they come by the bucket load in this family home in Sydney's Inner West. When homeowner Helen and her partner Brendan renovated and extended the house, creating a space that was as beautiful as it was functional was essential. "I've never had a proper laundry before and even though this is a small space in a cupboard, it was important for me to open the door and love the way it looked," says Helen, who sought the help of Alexandra Mason from Studio aem.
