- The first step is to ascertain the size of the laundry room. This is done by measuring the deepness of the washer and dryer to recognize the depth of the countertop.
- After this, the washer and dryer should be removed from the room. Slit the first piece of plywood to required length and cut the two side pieces of the cabinet from this piece of plywood. After this, the lumber should be attached to the base of the cabinet. These provide support to the bottom shelves of the cabinet.
- Then, a pneumatic nailer should be used to accumulate all the pieces. However, you must wear an eye protection gear to prevent any harmful effects.
- Use a stud finder or a hammer and nail to locate studs on the wall and then attach the cabinet to the wall with 2-inch screws, locking the screws into the studs.
- Draw a line diagonally to the extent of the wall and make a spot at the location for your nailer. Now, fix the 1-by-4 nailer on the wall, coating it up with the level line, and fix it to the wall with 2-inch screws driven through the nailer and into the studs.
- After the assembly is secured onto the wall cut the plywood according to the size of the countertop.
- Once everything has been dried and cured, the hinges and pulls are added to the doors to give it a decorative look.
- Mix the grout as mentioned in the guidelines and then fill the bag and apply the grout to the grout lines. Then with the help of the trowel you can force the grout into the grout lines and scrap off excess grout.
- Wipe thoroughly once the grout is cured and clean up the counter top.
- Finally, install the new sink and faucet, and attach the doors to the front of the cabinet.
After all this is done, you can reinstall the trim, install the clip hooks and clothing rod and wrap up the edges of the counter with the counter finishing kit. One can also change the ordinary looking storage bins made of plastic into laundry cupboard and transportable clothes baskets. One can keep in the clean clothes by folding them and keeping them in their appropriate basket and at the same time can take out the container and unpack fresh laundry in its selected room.

This cupboard is a combination of complete storage space and is an all-in-one laundry which can help you to sort clothes, fold clothes, store linen, and to clean the clothes.
