While it’s no-one’s favourite place to hang out, the laundry is one of the most well used rooms in the home. And although it’s not as exciting as a luxurious kitchen or relaxing lounge space, there’s no reason why your laundry needs to be lacklustre! So, short of a full-scale renovation, what can you do to make your laundry room not only more functional but more enjoyable? From stylish storage solutions to a quick lick of paint, here are five updates you can easily make.

As part of Phoenix Tapware’s interview series with key designers, architects, builders and plumbers, we take five minutes with Justin Loe, director and founder of StudioJLA, to chat about his career, inspiration and current design trends.

The kitchen may be the hub of the home, but it’s also the most expensive room to work on whether you’re renovating or building a new one. While most of us don’t have the luxury of an endless budget, choosing clever combinations of cabinetry, benchtops and appliances will make it possible to create an expensive-looking space at a lower cost.

Phoenix Tapware has reprised its partnership with The Design Files as the proud sponsor of the Emerging Designer category, which seeks to recognise the achievements of one outstanding designer, architect, independent creative or studio.
