Having a washer and dryer at home makes your life so much easier. If you do not have a dedicated laundry room, another place you can put them is in your bathroom. Today, a trusted bathroom remodeler shares things to know before adding a washer and dryer to a bathroom. 

Know the Location of Existing Plumbing 

Installing your washer and dryer on a wall with existing plumbing is your most cost-effective option. Existing plumbing could be on the backside of your bathroom or mechanical room wall, where the water supply and waste lines are easily accessible. If there is no existing plumbing, new lines will need to be installed, which can involve significant cost. 

Place Your Machine Under the Counter

Do you have a large vanity in your bathroom? If so, you can save some space by installing your washer and dryer under the counter. However, you may need to let go of some cabinet space and your second sink. Another option is to reduce the size of your vanity and use a stackable washer and dryer.

Go Custom to Conceal the Machines

Sometimes, washers and dryers just don’t fit into the aesthetics of a bathroom. Fortunately, you can still have them in the room without sacrificing the appeal of your space. Ask your remodeler to customize a cabinet that looks just like the rest of your bathroom cabinets to hide the washer and dryer. 

A skilled contractor will be able to pull off this project. To help you find the best company for your needs, simply search “bathroom contractor near me” online. You will then get a list of local companies in your area. Make sure to do your research, read reviews and check portfolios. Get at least three estimates from different companies to help you assess which one is right for you. 

Consider Stackable Units

To save space, consider getting stackable machines. You can place a stackable full-size washer and dryer on top of each other and recover some square footage in the bathroom. If there is still some extra space above the top unit, have some shelves or cabinets installed for added storage.
