Maximising Space: Creative Solutions for Your Washing Machine Cupboard Under a Sloping Roof

Published on: 5/09/2023 Author: Babette

Sloping roofs or ceilings can be a challenge to work around when wanting to make some home improvements.

Trying to find a suitable spot to install a washing machine in is no exception. This is especially the case if the area also happens to be the most ideal location in terms of the available water or power supply.

The good news is that a sloped roof doesn’t have to rule out being able to use the space altogether. That’s because here at Washtower, we give you the option to design your own washing machine cabinets so that you can easily incorporate any unique features such as a sloped roof into the design.

So that your finished washing machine cupboards maximise all available space, here are some top design tips to factor in.

Design your own cabinet

Washtower's custom washing machine cupboards are perfect for optimizing laundry areas under angled ceilings.

Opting For Custom Rather Than Off-The Shelf

Most washing machine cupboards aren’t designed with a sloping roof in mind. Opting for a customised solution will ensure that the exact wall sizing and ceiling angles are factored in.

A tailored approach will also allow any appliances or furniture to fit seamlessly into the available space.

As noted above, if you purchase a washing machine cabinet from Washtower you have the option to design your own cabinet depending on your dimensions and overall preferences.

If wanting to purchase an ‘off-the-shelf’ solution from another retailer, the same cannot be guaranteed. Hence, custom is definitely the way to go whenever working with unusual dimensions or size restrictions.

Maximize vertical storage with a custom washing machine cupboard designed for sloping roofs

Embracing Vertical Storage

When wanting to install a washing machine cupboard under a sloping roof, one of the key aims is to maximise vertical storage. Since the available space might be limited, focusing on vertical space will help counteract any limitations of the sharp angles.

We recommend designing a cabinet that will work with the slope, so that storage can also be provided for detergents, laundry baskets, and other essentials.

In short, by embracing vertical storage, not only can you optimise the space you have for the washing machine itself, but also create an organised and accessible laundry nook.

Incorporate practical features like pull-out shelves for sorting and folding laundry, and organize into a hub of productivity.

Optimising Workflow

Another consideration before choosing a washing machine cupboard design is ensuring an efficient workflow.

Beyond the need to incorporate the sloped roof area, the workflow must allow for practicality when sorting and folding laundry. For instance, practical features such as pull-out shelves provide a convenient resting spot while in between laundry tasks.

Organise the cupboard's interior thoughtfully, placing frequently used items at arm's reach. By optimising your workflow, you'll ensure that even under a sloping roof, your washing machine cupboard becomes a hub of productivity and convenience.

Personalize your custom washing machine cupboard by choosing materials and colors that match with your room's decor.

Incorporating Style and Function

Once you have a custom design that incorporates the fundamentals such as cupboard dimensions, ceiling angles and features, it’s time to personalise the look of cupboard design.

After all, as a prominent feature in any home, washing machine cabinets should also integrate a sense of style.

Choose materials and colours that harmonise with the room's decor, transforming the cupboard to enhance the visual aesthetics of the space. Likewise, adding clever lighting can also accentuate the area and make it feel less confined.
