Help with laundry cupboard layout
Comments (1)I would put the washer and dryer in the middle of the opening so that they are easy to access and then use the sides for stuff not used as often such as ladders, DIY equipment and tall stuff like the ironing board and vacuum cleaner...See MoreBest way to layout small utility room - window placement dilemma!
Comments (20)The only other thing I would say is don’t totally rule out the corner cabinet idea if you can afford the type of internal pull and slide fittings that allow you to easily access everything inside. I seem to remember that they were ridiculously expensive but I could be wrong. Only you know much you need to store and how much space you’ve got in your kitchen....See MoreHelp! Layout options for side and front extension, best use of space!
Comments (0)We are in the process of extending (a joint project with our neighbours to gain an extension to the front box room, then along the ground floor across the front and down the side of the house). We're having some last-minute layout dilemmas, the floor space isn't the biggest, but we will gain some essentials from it (bigger kitchen, downstairs shower/toilet, office space, porch and the bigger box room upstairs). Our shower room is going to be fairly slim (worked out as 900x2900mm at the minute). This also creates a slim corridor space beside that leading to an office which I've bumped along a bit to give some more space (sacrificing utility space at the other end, when you compare my Ikea layout with original drawings). The other option is to access the office from the lounge, meaning we could lose the corridor altogether and widen the shower room, but that would make the office open to noise from the lounge and I think it's a weird place to add a door. We're also struggling with options for the laundry/utility space too and whether to just include it as an extension to the kitchen. I've added some screenshots and links to an Ikea planner I used to map the ground floor out completely (ignore the colour and the basic mapping of furniture etc. it also doesn't include the pitched roof and Velux windows). Any input would be appreciated, I'm just looking for layout ideas and tips for anyone that has similar sizing/spacing set-ups. Thanks.

Comments (3)Our daughter recently had a small cupboard converted into a utility/cloakroom and it’s much smaller than yours. They have stacked their washing machine and tumble drier, using a special stacking device. It works very well and means they have two spare spaces in their kitchen now. Their builder fitted cupboards in the remaining space on the same wall which take all the laundry products plus vacuum cleaner. Not the ironing board, but that could have been done if they’d needed. We don’t have an airing cupboard, but recently bought a shallow IKEA wardrobe, 75cm wide, and about 30cm deep. We bought plenty of shelves and have all our towels and bed linen stored there. It’s proved to be a very efficient use of space. I wonder whether you could fit something similar backing onto the cylinder cupboard? Or maybe opposite stacked appliances, assuming they would go where the water point is. For a sink, how about fitting that partly under the window, in the corner where the soil stack is? It looks as though there should be room for the washing machine to open and get a sink in. For hanging space, is their sufficient ceiling height for a hanging rail to hoist up and down as needed?...See Morewey_hey
