Laundry renders, in a laundry's own words.
Set the project to Laundry and Asterlyn Space asks about the benchtop (countertop) and the overheads (upper cabinets) rather than about kitchen cabinets. No island, no oven tower, tubs instead of sinks, and the washing machine and dryer named for what they are.
This page does not yet show a tested, approved laundry render. The placeholder below must be replaced with one before promotion.
A tested laundry example is pending.

Image brief
Placeholder for a room-specific laundry render. Replace with a tested, approved real example before promotion.
What the app asks about in a laundry.
- Runs
- Overheads, base cabinets, tall cabinets, open shelving, blank panels and end panels. Each takes its own colour.
- Not offered
- An island, an oven tower or a cabinet above a fridge space. A laundry has none of them, so the picker leaves them out and the render is never told about them.
- Benchtop
- Its own picker, with the stone colours and the cabinet colours both on offer, for a laminate top that matches the doors.
- Splashback
- Opens on a full splashback (backsplash) behind the bench once the drawing shows the benchtop. Set No splashback in Fixtures if the wall runs straight down to it.
- Tubs
- Laundry tub in a cabinet, double laundry tub, drop-in laundry tub, or undermount laundry tub.
- Appliances
- Washing machine and dryer, confirmed or corrected in Review detections, with an optional photo of the actual machine.
- Strip lights
- Under the overhead cabinets, under open floating shelves, under the base cabinets, and inside glass cabinets.
- Photoshoot
- A laundry basket, folded towels and a small plant by default. A drying rack, amber bottles, a jar of pegs, detergent bottles, an ironing board, a bin and a runner if you tick them.
The runs a laundry has.
Overheads and bases, without the kitchen extras.
A laundry keeps the runs it really has: the overheads, the base cabinets, the tall cabinets, open shelving, and the blank panels and end panels at the ends of the bench. Each gets its own colour in the Materials panel.
What changes is what isn't there. The island, the oven tower and the cabinet above the fridge are left out of the picker, and the same words go to the render. A laundry pass isn't told about a breakfast bar, because naming a part is how a part gets built.
The blank faces at the end of a laundry bench are called blank panels and end panels here, not breakfast bar panels.
Benchtop and splashback.
The benchtop picker offers the stone colours and the cabinet colours, because a laundry top is often the same laminate as the doors.
The splashback follows the bench. Once the drawing shows the benchtop, a laundry opens on a full splashback behind it. If the wall runs straight down to the bench, set No splashback in the Fixtures panel and the render stops adding one.
If the reading didn't find the benchtop, a banner says so before you render and suggests you draw a zone for it. That's quicker than fixing the same miss on every render afterwards.
Tubs, not sinks.
Say what the tub is.
Review detections lists every sink and appliance found on the drawing. In a laundry, a sink is offered the tub options: a laundry tub in a cabinet, a double laundry tub, a drop-in tub or an undermount tub. You aren't offered a kitchen's bowls and drainers.
A washing machine or a dryer drawn as a plain box under the bench can be named for what it is. You can also drop in a photo of the actual machine, and it's sent with the render. A name says it's a washing machine; a photo says which one.
Lighting a laundry.
A laundry is offered the same four strip light places as a kitchen: under the overhead cabinets, lighting the splashback and the benchtop; under open floating shelves; under the base cabinets, shining down the kickboard (toe kick) and out across the floor; and inside glass cabinets. Colour temperature is Warm (3000K), Neutral (4000K) or Cool (6000K). More on the lighting and styling page.
Rendering a laundry.
Pick Laundry when you create the project
The room sets which runs, sinks and lights you are offered. If your sheet has the kitchen and the laundry on it, upload it once: each drawing becomes its own project and takes its room from the caption under it.
Check what was read off the drawing
Open Review detections. The tub is offered as a laundry tub, not a kitchen sink, and a machine under the bench can be confirmed as a washing machine or a dryer rather than left as a box.
Set the colours run by run
Overheads, base cabinets, tall cabinets and the benchtop. Paste a supplier swatch for a patterned top so it comes back as a close likeness of the one you pasted.
Render, then fix what is wrong
Render and look at it. It is usually quicker to fix the parts that are wrong than to get everything right first go. Mark an area and use Appearance or Object / detail.
