Kiss Core's laundry stacking kit at Amazon is highly rated. Some stacking kits are available with an integrated countertop for folding laundry from the dryer or drawer for storing laundry pods and dryer balls. ‘Laundry appliances can be placed side by side with the doors opening in opposite directions for convenience, or stacked on top of each other to save space, secured using a stacking kit,’ explains Alastair Cooke, laundry manager, Miele. However, for larger families and homes, doubling up on appliances is useful. In a small laundry room, you may be best choosing a combined washer dryer that's front opening in order to allow for countertop space above. If the laundry room will be visible from a bedroom, bathroom or kitchen, look to hide the washer and dryer behind doors or with a clever layout. This can be used for further storage beneath and on top of the countertop, and of course, makes laundry sorting more comfortable. Lots of space? Add in a center island or folding table. Look to include further laundry room cabinets if your laundry room is large enough – they can be used to hide away everything from out-of-season clothes to shoes, and if lockable or high up, cleaning products you want to keep away from children. This can also include a pull-out or wall-hung ironing board, hidden in a closet or between two tall closets. Remember that all wall- or ceiling-hung options will save you floor space and be good solutions for smaller or multi-purpose spaces. ‘A laundry room should ideally have a separate washer and dryer, a tall laundry closet with an internal divide for the ironing board to stop it falling over each time you open the door, laundry room shelves for cleaning products, and a sink is handy for soaking and hand washing,’ advises Richard Moore, who also suggests fitting a laundry shoot from upstairs bedrooms if space and budget permit.Ī drying rack or wall- or ceiling-hung rail for items that cannot go into the dryer and spacious laundry countertops for folding clothes are handy, as are built-in slots for laundry baskets – consider personalized baskets for individual family members. Zoning the space into wet and dry areas will also make the laundry room more convenient to use, and cuts down on plumbing and installation work. When you are planning the layout think carefully about how you want to organize your laundry room based around the tasks you will perform in there: sorting, drying, folding, hanging and ironing.
