The different possibilities for our washing machine cabinets

Published on: 12/06/2026 Author: Demi

You are moving or renovating, and suddenly you realise: where are we going to put all the laundry supplies, the vacuum cleaner, the appliances, and the technical installations? Often, the laundry room or utility room ends up as a cluttered corner where you’d rather just shut the door and forget about it. It really doesn't have to be that way.

With a modular washing machine cabinet from Washtower®, you can turn this space into a sleek, organised spot that you actually enjoy visiting. After all, our cabinets have long been capable of holding much more than just your washing machine and dryer. Curious about what fits inside? We have listed the surprising possibilities for you.

Clever ways to organise your tall storage cabinet

The options below fit perfectly in our tall storage cabinets, among others.

The boiler

Is your boiler, along with all those pipes, getting in your way too? Luckily, you can hide it away easily and safely in a 60-centimetre-wide storage cabinet. As standard, the cabinets feature 5 centimetres of extra space at the back for all the pipework. Want even more room to maneuver? With our handy wall brackets, you can place the cabinet up to 10 centimetres away from the wall.

Central heating boiler (combi boiler)

With a central heating boiler, you opt for a compact and familiar solution for heating and hot water in your home. Just like the regular boiler, you can also house the central heating boiler inside the cabinet. Thanks to the extra installation space, thick pipes and cables can easily be connected. You can also choose to leave the back completely open.

Wardrobe and shoe cabinet

Your coats and shoes tucked away out of sight right as you walk through the door—how handy is that? You can easily hang clothes in our tall storage cabinets. You can also add shelves to create an organised shoe cabinet, ensuring there is never a pile of shoes lying by the door again.

100% safety

You might be wondering: what about safety? At Wastoren®, safety and stability always come first. Our washing machine cabinets feature a unique, patented cabinet-in-cabinet construction. This means that vibrations from spinning are absorbed directly by the cabinet itself and guided down to the ground. Furthermore, our anti-tip safety device ensures that the machine cannot fall out of the cabinet or tilt. Thanks to this combination, we can guarantee 100% safety.

But for us, safety goes beyond just the machine itself. Take the ventilation grille at the top of the cabinet, for example, which ensures optimal air circulation and prevents appliances from overheating. The open back provides plenty of space for connections, allowing warm air to escape safely at all times. This means the safe placement of a central heating boiler, regular boiler, or fridge has been fully integrated into the design.

What other possibilities are there?

Such as a fridge, freezer, and sink.

A fridge

Do you have just a bit too little space in your kitchen for all your weekly groceries or for cold drinks during a party? The utility room is the perfect place for an extra (undercounter) fridge. But a freestanding white appliance sitting in the corner often looks so uninviting. Alongside a washing machine and dryer, a fridge also fits right into our washing machine cabinets. Now that is a clever use of your space!

A freezer

Do you constantly find yourself walking out to the shed or down to the cellar just to grab bread or frozen vegetables? By placing an (undercounter) freezer in your washing machine cabinet, you have everything right at your fingertips in the utility room.

A sink

A sink in the laundry room is definitely a great addition. Think of quickly rinsing out those muddy sports shorts before they go into the washing machine, or simply filling up a bucket of soapy water to mop the floor. The WSUS60-10 sink cabinet is perfectly suited for this, offering plenty of space for a small sink and tap.

Other possibilities

Naturally, there is also room in our washing machine cabinets for laundry detergents and other cleaning products. Your detergent bottles, sponges, and hand towels are instantly ready for use, yet neatly tucked away behind closed doors. Furthermore, nothing is as annoying as an ironing board or a vacuum cleaner getting in the way in your laundry room. You can easily store your ironing board and vacuum cleaner in one of our tall storage cabinets. Use a vertical divider so you can fit your iron in the cabinet too. Neat and organised!

Where do you leave the laundry basket?

Our washing machine cabinets raise your washing machine and dryer to a comfortable height of 60 centimetres. This way, everything is within easy reach! But where do you put that large, awkward laundry basket? We have thought of that too:

  • The handy pull-out drawer: Underneath the appliances, you will find deep drawers where you can store your laundry baskets and laundry products completely out of sight.

  • Laundry basket unit insert: It is also possible to create a laundry basket cabinet with two openings in the door, so you can throw your laundry straight in. Just use the laundry basket unt insert for this.
  • The pull-out shelf: Our cabinets are equipped with a sturdy, pull-out shelf. You can rest your laundry basket on this when loading or unloading the machine. No more lifting heavy baskets off the floor—everything is at the perfect working height!

Request personal advice

Do you need help putting your washing machine cabinet together after reading about all the possibilities? We completely understand; after all, no two laundry rooms are the same. At Washtower®, we will create a custom design for you, completely free of charge and with no obligation. Our advisors will take a close look at your situation and show you the best way to combine the modular elements to suit your appliances and storage wishes.

Is it safe to place a washing machine in a cabinet?

Yes, it is 100% safe. Wastoren® washing machine cabinets are the only ones in Europe to be TÜV-certified and equipped with an anti-tip safety device. Thanks to the cabinet-in-cabinet construction, vibrations are absorbed rather than passed on to the walls or floor. This ensures your washing machine always stands stable and safe at a raised height.

How do I ventilate a washing machine cabinet?

Ventilation is already fully built into a Wastoren® washing machine cabinet. The cabinet features a ventilation grille at the top and an open back, allowing warm air to escape safely at all times.

What is the ideal working height for a washing machine in a cabinet?

The ideal working height for a washing machine is 60 centimetres. At this height, you never have to bend down deep again to load or empty the drum. Wastoren® washing machine cabinets bring your appliances to this height as standard, so you can do the laundry comfortably and without back strain.
