A laundry room is probably a space far away from prying eyes, but despite that, if you pay particular attention to its design, you will have a perfectly functional, welcoming, and efficient utility room, in which even the heavier tasks may seem easy to carry out. Moreover, if you need to place the washing machine in the bathroom, then the laundry cabinet must also be combined with the existing style. So, let us see how to organise a convenient, functional, and aesthetically pleasing laundry room.
Optimising space with laundry furniture
Owners who have a laundry room in their house can opt for sectional cabinets, shelves, and stand-alone units. Doing so, it will be possible to have storage solutions both for the bulkiest household allies, such as the ironing board or the clothes rack, and for the smaller ones such as laundry baskets, buckets, etc. Everything must be chosen according to functionality and design, so that the laundry room, renamed the kingdom of freshness, can be tidy and clean at the same time.
A nice cabinet for a laundry basin with a storage space could be the ideal solution for hand washing but also for pre-treating stubborn stains on tablecloths and items of clothing before running the washing machine. The cabinet can also be used to contain detergents, soap, gloves, and everything that you need both for hand washing and for machine washing. Should the storage space in the cabinet prove minimum, it is possible to add a freestanding linen cabinet or even a suspended unit with a convenient half-height shelf right inside. They both could be extremely useful if you want to store extra household cleaning products, such as soap, mops, and any spare products.
On the contrary, if you do not have a room to be used as a laundry, but you need to place the washing machine in the bathroom you can opt for a space-saving cabinet and look for highly-adjustable units to take advantage of all the space available. In this case, suspended units fit the purpose because they can be placed above the washing machine and exploit the height of the walls to store everything you need for the laundry. If you wish, you could also decide to separate the laundry area from the rest of the bathroom with a nice curtain, giving a valuable contribution to its style and increasing the standards of usability in case of need. Sectional laundry room cabinets are highly recommended for people who want to leave the laundry area visible because they have removable laundry baskets, a washtub, clothes rack and a foldable ironing board inside a single unit. Thus, it is possible to have visible laundry furniture that do not disrupt the style of the whole environment.
Thanks to a stacking kit, it is also possible to stack a washing machine on top of a tumble dryer, an appliance which is particularly useful in winter when you cannot hang your washing out in the open air or in other rooms of the house. Many people are in fact forced to do without a tumble dryer due to the limited space available, but this solution allows them to have the practicality of both appliances in a single space.
