The traditional location for the washing machine is the bathroom. If the size of the room allows, it will be very convenient to place it under the countertop on which the sink is located. To prevent the machine from spoiling the view of the room, you can simply hide it behind the door..
In very cramped bathrooms, owners often decide to hide the washing machine behind or above the toilet. It will be safer to take care of a specially laid out stand, and not just hang it on the wall. Although this kind of installation cannot fail to bring a smile.
This is a hanging washing machine. It is much lighter than the usual one, therefore it is easily attached to the walls where communications can be brought. However, this model has a big drawback – with its compactness, it will not hold more than three kilograms of laundry, while conventional floor-standing devices wash five to seven kilograms at once.
An innovative and cutting edge option. Of course, it won’t be easy to find such a model, which is installed on special legs directly above the toilet. In addition, it would be interesting to know if vibration will be transmitted from the machine during the spinning of the laundry to the plumbing.
An unusual option for placing the washing machine behind the bathtub, on an equipped stand. Compact, managed to save space. But again the question arises with vibration, which can be transmitted along the surface to the bathroom. Therefore, you should take care of reliable supports or use a rubber mat.
Small niche next to the wall-hung toilet. It was created on purpose, conveniently hiding all built-in communications. Of course, in this case, the bathroom should be wide enough so as not to squeeze between the washing machine and the wall. You can choose a top loading washer, these models are usually narrower.
Next to the shower. To make room in the bathroom for a washing machine, many decide to replace the bathtub with a more compact shower. In this case, a standard device will fit into the resulting niche..
You will definitely surprise your guests with a washing machine in the corridor or hallway. In addition, you will have to deal with communications first. But in general, this option also has a right to exist, especially if the washing machine is built into the wardrobe..
Behind the door of this spacious niche, built in the bathroom, there was not only a washing machine, but also an electric boiler. The toilet had to be noticeably pushed forward, but it turned out to be a fairly spacious place for household appliances, and hidden from prying eyes.
Washing machine in the pantry. In general, this room can be turned into a separate laundry, as is usually the case in American homes. Laying communications, of course, will take time and money, but the result will be successful.
If the bathroom is not even an option for the location of the washing machine due to its tiny size, the washing machine is installed in the kitchen. It is convenient that the kitchen already has a drain and water supply, and if you cover it with a countertop, it will not “eat” the work surface.
A washing machine under the bar is not a trivial solution. It turned out very well, conveniently, and behind closed doors the equipment will not spoil the kitchen interior at all. The disadvantages include only the fact that sitting at the bar next to a working washing machine will not be very comfortable.
Is there any space-saving or creative idea to place a washing machine in a small apartment, considering limited space constraints while ensuring easy accessibility and functionality?
