The laundry at Petit Château was never meant to be just a utility room — it was designed as a calm, light-filled space that made everyday tasks a little more joyful.
Featured in the July 2025 issue of Country Style magazine, the laundry design brings together French farmhouse charm, Tasmanian craftsmanship, and carefully chosen fittings and fixtures.
From the brass taps and deep farmhouse sink to the gentle sweep of sunlight across the bench, every detail was chosen with intention — including our French Consul Provençal Tea Towel draped beside the sink.
Here’s the complete source list below so you can recreate the look in your own home…
