Fulham Fitted Laundry Room London

The Fulham is the laundry room done as one piece of furniture. Two tall cupboards frame the wall, and everything between them works in the order of the job: the dirty washing goes into a pull-out basket, the machines sit side by side beneath a worktop that is long enough to fold on, the sink takes the hand-washing and the soaking, and the clean things go up onto the rail or the shelves in the lit bay above.

The finish is a warm greige shaker with slim brass bar handles and a brass tap, and the worktop is a pale stone that does not mind a wet basket. The hanging bay is open and lit from above, so shirts come out of the dryer and straight onto hangers, and the shelves beside it take the folded towels.

How it works: the run is a set of 18mm solid-back carcasses on a continuous plinth, with the appliance bay sized to the two machines and ventilated at the back. The pull-out basket units either side of the machines run on full-extension runners with a removable canvas basket in each, one for lights and one for darks. The worktop spans the machines on a rail so it does not bear on them; the sink is undermounted with the waste and the machine services inside the sink unit.

The tall cupboards take the ironing board, the hoover and the linen; the wall units take the detergents and the things that should not be seen.

Designed for the laundry, not the utility

A laundry room differs from a utility room in what it does not have to do: no boots, no dog, no recycling. That frees the wall for the washing itself, which is why the Fulham gives a whole bay to hanging and a whole worktop to folding, and why the baskets are built into the run rather than standing on the floor in front of it.

• Washer and dryer side by side in a ventilated bay
• Continuous stone worktop with an undermounted sink and brass tap
• Pull-out laundry basket units either side of the machines
• Lit hanging bay with a solid rail and open shelves above
• Shaker wall units for detergents and cloths
• Tall cupboard at each end for the board, the hoover and the linen
• Greige factory paint with slim brass bar handles
• Built to the ceiling and scribed to the walls

Designed for the room: the machines can stack in one tall housing where the wall is short, the hanging bay can become a drying cabinet, an ironing board can pull out of a drawer, and the whole run is made in any of our painted colours with brass, black or nickel handles.

Built for everyday use: the paint is a factory lacquer that wipes clean, the basket runners take a full wet load, the worktop is a non-porous stone, and the appliance bay has the depth and the ventilation the machine makers specify.

The Fulham shown fills a wall about 3.6 metres wide and 2.4 metres high; the same run is drawn to your room, your machines and your plumbing at the design visit.

Manufactured in our Wembley workshop

The Fulham is cut, built and painted in our HA9 Wembley factory from the survey of your room. The shaker doors are made and sprayed as one batch so the colour is the same across the wall, the basket units are assembled and hung in the workshop, and the appliance bay is built to the machine drawings.

The wall, the ceiling, the window, the water and waste positions, the power and the machine models are recorded at your design visit, and the drawings show your plumber and electrician what to move before we fit.
