Tips on Fitting a Washer & Dryer Into Your Bathroom

Whether you live in a small apartment in the city or you’re just working with limited space in your home, adding a laundry area to your bathroom might just be the space-saving solution that you’re looking for. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Rhode Island has some tips to help you.

Maximize Existing Plumbing

This is one of the first things that you and your bathroom contractor should look into, especially if you’re aiming for a low-cost retrofit. Adding new plumbing to your bathroom in order to accommodate a washer will quickly increase your expenses, so try to work around your existing plumbing. Install your machine on a wall through which you can easily access existing plumbing. This way, you have a water supply and waste lines available.

Opt for a Vertical Arrangement

Front-loading units can be stacked, allowing you to save space. To ensure the machines won’t ruin the look of your bathroom, you may want to place them inside a custom-built compartment that blends with the rest of your cabinets. Just make sure to install a vent from the machines to your exterior wall. Your remodeler can run this within the ceiling joists if you have the space, or create a soffit to hide the vent under the joists.

Go With a Combo Unit

If you or your bathroom remodeler feel that a stacked washer and dryer would make your bathroom look cramped, you can opt for a two-in-one washer/dryer combo instead. This way, you can get the benefits of both machines in just one unit. Another great thing about the compact washer/dryer combo is that it can fit underneath a countertop.
