Do You Love Your Laundry Room?

The laundry room is undergoing a renaissance in the home. It used to be a cold, dingy, unfinished corner in the basement. People begrudgingly went downstairs to wash their clothes, often equating this weekend chore with punishment. Until recently, the laundry room was the last place anyone wanted to spend time.

Modern laundry rooms

One of the hardest working rooms in your home is finally getting the attention it deserves. Laundry rooms are moving on up — out of the basement and into the main floor and beyond. Homeowners are starting to invest in laundry rooms because they can be made into multipurpose spaces.

Renovate your laundry room

A well-designed laundry room can provide:

  • excellent storage (seasonal clothing, sports equipment, household items and cleaning supplies)
  • functional space (washer/dryer, utility sink, drying racks, hobby/crafting area)
  • a comfortable and stylish workspace

If you are planning a new laundry room or renovating an existing one, you can find design ideas and inspiration in the laundry room section of our site or visit our showroom.
To create a really functional and efficient space, talk to one of our design consultants and set up a free in-home design consultation. They can look at your current space and show you what is possible.

Organize Your Watches with Watch Winders and Save Time

Custom watch winder case

A self-winding mechanical watch from Longines or Tudor needs to keep moving or you’ll be setting the date and time more than you care to.

If you have a watch collection then you’ll want to protect your investment and keep them organized and wound using a good quality watch winder.

Organized Interiors uses Orbita watch winders exclusively in its dressing rooms and custom closet designs. Orbita is the world’s largest producer of watch winders, designed to meet the high standards of premium watch collectors.

There are dozens of companies making watch winders but three things set Orbita apart from the rest — design, build quality and features.

Silent Motor

The cheaper watch winders on the market tend to be unreliable and noisy. If your watch winder is going to be off the bedroom in a dressing room or closet, the last thing you want to hear at night are several watch winders grinding away.

Orbita watch winders have a silent motor that won’t keep you awake at night. Using a ball-bearing construction and solid-state controls, the motor can run maintenance-free for a long time.

Winding Technology

Orbita’s Rotorwind system doesn’t rotate a watch like a traditional winder. It swings the watch to mimic human motion and gestures. This provides a more natural wind as if you were actually wearing the watch.

Winding cycles can also be programmed to 650, 800, 950 or 1,300 turns per day (TPD). Orbita has a watch winder database that can help you determine how many TPD your watch requires.

AC Adapter or Battery

Orbita lithium batteriesFinding AC power in a closet can be difficult. The electrical outlet may not be accessible and depending where you live, it may be against the building code to have it in the closet. Battery power provides more flexibility in terms of location.

Orbita lithium batteries can last for 5 years and replacement batteries are available at Organized Interiors (or directly from Orbita).

Warranty

Orbita watch winders come with a two year warranty in materials and/or workmanship. An optional extended warranty provides an additional 3 years of coverage.

Custom Watch Winder Drawers, Cabinets & Cases

Organized Interiors designs and manufactures custom drawers and cabinets to hold your watch winders. You decide if you want them in felt lined drawers or a custom glass case.

Our goal is to make it quick and easy to select a watch from your collection in the morning.

If you’re in the greater Toronto area then stop by our showroom in Vaughan. We have several examples of how watch winders are being used in custom closets.

A Great Room Requires Great Organization


Interior designer and television host Jane Lockhart believes that a great room requires great organization behind the scenes. Without proper storage, everyday items can clutter up a room up in no time. A custom closet, or custom cabinetry can provide you with the storage space you need to keep any room in your house looking beautiful for years to come.
