Washer And Dryer In The Bathroom A Space-Saving Solution With Style

Published on: 9/10/2023 Author: Babette

While washing machines and dryers are traditionally installed in kitchens or utility rooms, the bathroom offers another option to consider. 

For those with limited space, the idea of placing a washing machine and dryer in the bathroom may seem unusual. However, it's actually a practical solution that offers convenience and style. 

That’s because similar to kitchens, bathrooms benefit from having existing plumbing and drainage, making the installation of washer and dryer units more straightforward than in other areas of your home. 

In this article, we'll explore the advantages of having a washing machine in the bathroom. Plus how to effortlessly integrate any laundry appliances into your design.

How To Maximise Space in Small Bathrooms

First, it’s good to focus on small bathrooms, since small bathrooms can present a unique challenge when it comes to adding essential appliances like a washing machine or dryer. 

However, with thoughtful planning and the right choice of bathroom furniture, it's entirely possible to make the most of your limited space. For instance, by focusing on wall rather than floor space. 

Choose Stylish Bathroom Furniture

When installing a washing machine in the bathroom, consider investing in bathroom furniture that compliments your design aesthetic. Cabinets, shelves, or vanities can be strategically placed next to or around the washing machine cabinet to create a versatile space.

Consider Different Configurations

When deciding on the placement of the washing machine and dryer, you have two main options: placing them next to each other or stacking one on top of the other. Stacking can save precious floor space and is ideal for smaller bathrooms. 

Carefully Design Your Bathroom Layout

Before adding a washing machine and dryer into your bathroom, carefully plan the layout. 

Consider factors like water supply and drainage, electrical connections and ventilation. 

Moreover, in order to achieve a harmonious look in your bathroom, try to coordinate the colours of your washing machine cabinets with your existing bathroom decor

Select a wall unit that integrates with the bathroom aesthetics, whether it's in white or a black oak finish. By doing so, you can create a truly beautiful space.

Convenience and Efficiency

Washtower’s washing machine cabinets offer remarkable convenience. With a washing machine seamlessly integrated into your bathroom cabinetry, you can effortlessly move the laundry to the machine without the need to walk through the entire home.

Hiding The Washing Machine

For those who prefer a more discreet look, there are creative ways to hide a washing machine in the bathroom. You can install a custom-made washing machine cabinet that matches your bathroom furniture. This effectively conceals the appliance when not in use.

TÜV Certification for Safety

When installing appliances in unconventional spaces like the bathroom, safety is paramount. Washtower’s washing machine cabinets come with a TÜV certification, which ensures that they meet rigorous safety and quality standards. This certification provides peace of mind, knowing that your appliances are securely housed.

Anti-Vibration Absorber Technology

To prevent excessive vibrations and noise, Washtower’s washing machine cupboards are equipped with anti-vibration absorber technology. This feature reduces the impact of vibrations on both the appliances and the surrounding space.

Summary

While placing a washing machine and dryer might be unconventional, what matters most is creating a system that works best for your needs. Seen as bathrooms usually have the necessary electric, plumbing and drainage connections, they actually make ideal spaces for laundry units. Housing your laundry appliances in Washtower cabinets adds a stylish finishing touch! 

Look out for TÜV-certified cabinets with anti-vibration technology to ensure safety and reduce noise. Whether you choose to stack units or place them side by side, this space-saving approach can enhance your bathroom's functionality while preserving its visual appeal
