Functionality & beauty: 7 laundry tubs that’ll elevate your room’s design
The key to lifting your laundry’s design is to use premium materials and appliances, starting with the room’s most important feature – the laundry tub. Your tub should inform the rest of your design, complementing the colours, textures and finishes elsewhere in your room.
To help get you started, here are seven laundry tubs perfect for elevating your laundry’s design.
1. Schock Virtus Large Bowl Croma
Schock invented the granite sink in Germany over thirty years ago and since then they’ve been perfecting its design. Their laundry tubs feature the same clean, modern lines and silky smooth finish – they’re also exceptionally strong, durable and stain resistant.
The Virtus Large Bowl in croma (a dark grey) is the perfect statement laundry tub, with a 49 litre capacity and an eye-catching but simple design that will fit almost any laundry.
2. Chambord Clotaire Large Double Bowl
If you’d prefer to go with a more classic, elegant look, Chambord is the perfect option. Their art deco inspired sinks are designed in France and manually finished by highly skilled artisan sink makers.
The Clotaire Large Double Bowl is the ideal option, with two whopping 30 litre laundry tubs and a timeless design that’s particularly suited to heritage renovations.
3. Chambord Clotaire Small Single Bowl
Want the same, classic look but limited on space? The Chambord Clotaire Small Single Bowl has the same design as the larger double bowl version, but it’s around half the size.
This compact laundry tub is best suited to smaller laundries where a statement piece is needed.
4. LT100 Single Bowl
The LT100 Single Bowl laundry tub is another brilliant option for smaller spaces. This small but mighty laundry tub is manufactured using quality stainless steel with a 31 litre capacity.
It can be flush mounted to fit seamlessly into your laundry bench, or undermounted to save space. Stainless steel makes it easy to clean, easy to maintain and extremely durable.
5. The Double Leichhardt
Like the stainless steel look but want something larger and more impactful? How about the Double Leichhardt.
This minimalist, utilitarian sink is made from commercial grade 18/10 stainless steel with an attractive curved bowl. Each bowl has an impressive 45 litre capacity, making it perfect for soaking big loads of washing or cleaning muddy boots.
If you’re going for a modern minimalist look, pair the laundry tub with blacks and greys – or for something more calming, soften it with warm colours and pastels.
6. Leichhardt Undermount Skinny
When you’ve got limited space but still want a practical, large capacity sink, the Leichhardt Undermount Skinny is a great option. This compact laundry tub features space saving design but still boasts an impressive 45 litre capacity.
7. Chambord Philippe II Single Bowl Fireclay black
Laundries are generally suited to lighter colours and whites, but if you want to try something different with your design the Chambord Philippe II in black could be perfect.
It features the elegant design Chambord is known for, with a smooth black finish. It’ll pair perfectly with dark colours and textured tiles.
