Where to put the washing machine? Ideas for choosing the right place

Essential household appliance and present in all homes, the washing machine is the undisputed master of the laundry. But where can we put it if we don't have a laundry room or a house with a tavern? Here are some ideas and solutions that can help us find the right place for the washing machine, in the kitchen as in the bathroom or in a small closet.

If there is little space in the house, the best solution to optimize the size of the washing machine is to buy one with a top load. In fact, this type of washing machine has been specially designed to be inserted in small spaces.

And the great advantage of these models lies in their small size: they can be as little as 40 cm in width and thus be placed in very small spaces.

If we do not want to give up the traditional washing machine instead, there are many solutions to insert it in the right place. The anteroom is the ideal place to insert the washing machine, perhaps equipping a wall to have everything at hand and camouflaging it behind a sliding structure. This is an optimal idea for very small spaces such as monolacali. It is a practical and convenient solution that creates order.

If our single bathroom is small or we don't have other spaces available, we can also place our washing machine in the kitchen. More and more often there is a tendency to sacrifice part of the space of this environment for the washing machine: here are three small tricks to consider in this case:

• Try to arrange the washing machine as close as possible to the water pipe to avoid having to use one that is too long which could create problems
• If you do not want to give up aesthetics, opt for a built-in washing machine that you can thus hide behind a door of the same material and color as the kitchen
• If you opt for a "free-standing" washing machine, take the necessary measures to ensure that the neighboring parts and the support surface are not damaged, especially during the spin cycle.
