Figuring out the ideal design for your coin laundry shop can be daunting if it is your first shop. This guide will help you get started.
The following 5 factors are crucial when designing your coin laundry:
Space
This is a major consideration for a coin laundry shop design. The 2 most common layout designs for laundromats are:
- Compact design – This layout emphasises efficient use of limited space and functional experience. Machines are stacked and there is minimal seating.
- Community-focused design – A spacious layout with amenities such as kids’ play area or coffee bar. This design aims to increase customer comfort and satisfaction.
You want to choose the design that optimises your operation while keeping your targeted customers comfortable and happy.
Technology Integration
Payment machines should be easily accessible. Implement mobile app to track machine availability or service alerts. Install CCTV for the safety of your customers. Include WiFi and charging stations for added convenience.
Cleanliness and Hygiene
Use sleek, easy-to-clean materials for floors, walls, and countertops. Consider touchless soap dispensers, faucets, and dryers to enhance hygiene. A proper ventilation system is vital to maintain good air quality, especially with the smell of detergent, fabric softeners, and wet clothes.
Sustainability
Your machine choices are part of the design plan. Invest in energy-efficient washers and dryers that reduce electricity consumption and water waste. Global brands such as Huebsch offers high-performance and energy/water-saving washers and dryers for coin laundry operations of all sizes.
Aesthetic Appeal
The environment of your laundromat affects your customers’ experience. Clean, minimalistic designs with a modern touch are preferred. Choose calming and neutral colours that evoke freshness and cleanliness. Bright LED lighting that mimics natural light makes the space look bigger and clean. You could also use softer lighting in seating areas for a relaxed vibe.
