Do you live in a small home and have no idea where to put the washing machine? If you’re trying to optimise the floor plan to create a laundry area, then you’ve come to the right place: in this article, you’ll find 3 ideas to fit the laundry room in your bathroom, in the corridor or in the kitchen with the Laundry Space project, to help make every corner in your home attractive and functional.
Once you’ve checked whether the necessary plumbing can be fitted, you can insert the washing machine in a niche in your bathroom or, if you don’t have any empty corners available, hide the appliance in a washing machine tall unit or base unit. What about the detergents?
If the room is to be used as both a bathroom and a laundry room, it might come in handy to use the wall unit with mirror both to touch up your make-up and to store bottles and pills as well as to hang small garments to dry. Here’s an idea: the “smart” drying rack is just one of the many space-saving accessories envisaged in the Laundry Space collection.
Don’t forget about the practical pull-out baskets, which are essential to sort out your washing.
The corridor is often an underestimated area of the home, but on top of dividing up various rooms, it can also be transformed into a compact and functional laundry room. All you need is a full-length cabinet with doors, which is large enough to accommodate the washing machine and, why not, the drier too, along with all your washing powders, fabric softeners and laundry essentials. A tip: to optimise space further, choose a washer-drier.
How about putting your laundry out to dry while you wait for your recipe to finish cooking? Fitting the washing machine in the kitchen is feasible with the right furniture combination: for instance, the appliance can be mounted under the worktop, hidden away behind doors that match the rest of the kitchen composition.
Another idea? Without stealing space in your pantry, you could reorganize the larder to make space for detergent, fabric softener and sponges, which you could alternatively store away inside large drawers. Then add some pull-out rails or hooks to hang your garments to iron or some hangers. This way, you’ll have everything within easy reach without compromising the space dedicated to food preparation.
