How can you design a laundry room in the bathroom to create an environment that is not only functional but also impressive? Modern homes are often small and many have to resort to a design where the washing machine, tumble dryer and all laundry equipment are housed in the bathroom. After all, the room dedicated to personal hygiene and well-being is no longer just a place of service. It has increasingly developed into a beautifully furnished space. How can you combine the need for a laundry room where the whole family's washing can be done with the elegance of a room designed to offer maximum relaxation? Here are some ideas on how to make the most of the space available.
Bathroom with laundry room, how to design top-class spaces
At first glance, the laundry room in the bathroom may seem like an aesthetically unpleasant solution. However, as already mentioned, it is a necessary space in every home and if it is not possible to create a dedicated laundry room, positioning the washing machine, tumble dryer and furniture needed to store the items required for washing clothes, placing them in the bathroom is the only possible solution.
Whether it is the main bathroom or the guest bathroom, the aim of a good interior design project is to integrate all the necessary elements into the space in such a way that the aesthetics are not compromised.
If you want to combine comfort and functionality by dedicating part of the bathroom floor space to laundry, you should ideally divide it into two different areas: the area for personal hygiene and the area which will also house the washing machine.
The space must be organised taking into account the dimensions of the bathroom. Depending on the length of the available walls, you can optimise the layout of the furniture. It is ideal to favour the main walls of the room for the installation of the sanitaryware and to place the area for the shower cubicle in one of the corners. The shower cubicle can be installed on the wall opposite the door, next to the linen cupboard and appliances.
In this way, you can create two different but communicating areas in the bathroom which meet personal needs and at the same time have a pleasant aesthetic effect. The ideas for creating a laundry room in the bathroom are manifold and can meet every need: from laundry sinks with a cabinet containing a large storage compartment to wall-hung or floor-standing laundry units. A well-organised space can make it easier to hand wash the most delicate garments and make the most of the space available for detergent, soap and accessories.
