Certainly you have faced this problem, especially if you live in a small space where the washing machine is located. If you are in the process of decorating, here are some ideas that may be helpful.
The most common place for the washing machine is the bathroom. In cases with two bathrooms, the space in the service bathroom can be transformed into a laundry area.
But where exactly can we install the washing machine? One of the options we propose is right under the sink, possibly under a countertop shared with a cabinet or drawers used for storage. To create a visible separation, you can opt for an additional partition to clearly delimit the two areas.
In case you cannot adjust the height of the sink to that of the machine, place the machine in its immediate vicinity. It can be left freestanding or integrated into a niche-type cabinet. If you don't want it to be visible, you can enclose it in a custom-made cabinet according to the machine's dimensions or with a simple roller blind like those used on the exterior of windows.
Installing shelves above the machine will ensure more space for storing detergents or even dirty laundry.
In a niche, you can fit both the washing machine and the automatic dryer. Depending on the space, it can be in the bathroom or near the bathroom, in the hallway. Also consider a sliding Jolly-type cabinet to use as a support for detergents and other useful products.
The hallway area offers a worthy option to consider. In a pantry or even inside the dressing room, near the bathroom, here is the perfect place to put the washing machine and automatic dryer.
Although many consider it unsuitable for hygiene reasons, the kitchen can also be the right place to install the washing machine. Built-in near the sink and hidden behind a door, this is a solution that will free up your bathroom, offering more free space.
In the case of a long and narrow kitchen, the washing machine can be mounted parallel in a freestanding unit, thus maintaining the distance from the cooking area.
Adaptation is the key word when it comes to installing the washing machine. The bathroom, service bathroom, hallway, kitchen or maybe a special technical space designed for this purpose are all optimal solutions worth considering. The images in the gallery will help you visualize the ideas presented above more easily.
