It’s one of those small details that completely changes how your home feels!

Square stop gives you that clean, modern look most people are going for, especially in open plan living

GIB cove softens a space and adds a bit more character, which can work really nicely in feature rooms

You don’t have to choose one for the whole house either

There’s no right or wrong, it just comes down to your style and where you want to spend your budget

This is exactly the kind of thing we guide you through during the design process

Not all laundries are created equal… and the difference isn’t just how they look 👀

We’re seeing more and more clients rethinking their laundry setup to save space and stay on budget, so here’s a quick breakdown of the three most common options:

Full Laundry Room
• More storage and bench space
• Keeps everything tucked away
• Higher cost due to space and fit out

Garage Laundry
• Saves valuable indoor floor area
• More cost effective
• Still super functional (this is what we’ve shown here)

Supertub Laundry
• Smallest footprint
• Lowest cost option
• Simple but does the job

💡 What most people don’t realise is how much space a full laundry can take up. By changing this, you can often gain more room where it matters like your kitchen, living area, or storage.

At Sentinel Homes Manawatu, this is exactly the kind of thing we help our clients work through early. It’s not just about what looks good, it’s about designing a home that actually works for how you live day to day and making sure your budget is going where it matters most.

If you’re planning a build and want to get those decisions right from the start, flick us a message 🤍

There’s something about putting pen to paper that just makes it all click. Our ideas magazine is filled with our most popular floor plans, and our clients love scribbling, circling, and making it their own as their vision comes to life.

building a home you actually want to stay in is just financially responsible 😂😭
