SOLUTION

The Solution

We were able to increase convenience while minimizing the lived-in feel, enhancing the quality of the space without compromising the interior design.
We streamlined the movement paths for transferring laundry items to the laundry area and for hanging up items after washing, improving both the convenience and appearance.

1. Use a waste chute to create a hotel-style bathroom

Installing a waste chute in a washroom or hand-washing area can transform a space with a sophisticated, hotel-style atmosphere.
Choosing a model with a lid keeps waste out of sight, prevents odours and keeps the area looking neat and tidy.
They can also be made even more stylish by blending in gold or other colours with other aspects of your interior design.

2. Simple, concealed waste chute to keep kitchens clean

Installing a waste chute on the countertop allows waste to be disposed of quickly and easily while maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance. Helps reduce visible household items by concealing the waste bin inside the kitchen unit. Contributes to a more hygienic and refined kitchen space.

3. Create smoother lines of movement in laundry rooms

In this example, a waste chute is used for depositing laundry. Clothes can be transferred directly from a changing room or bathroom to the laundry room, ensuring that laundry is not left lying around. This is also useful when sorting laundry by colour.

Even if the laundry room and drying area are on different floors, heavy loads of laundry can be moved easily by setting up a laundry chute.

4. Professional uses

Soft-close

Waste chutes are also available with a soft-close mechanism to dampen unpleasant noises and shocks. This closes the lid slowly, making it difficult for children to get their hands caught.

Wall mounting

In this example, installing a waste chute on a kitchen wall helps to neatly dispose of bottles and cans.
