Planning an in-home laundry addition for your bathroom can be easy if you know what you need. But if you’re not sure where to start, you can always consult a professional bathroom contractor that knows how to make the most out of your project. To help you out, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno has some useful design tips to consider below.

Utilize an Unused Closet

If you want a separate washer and dryer for your laundry area, it’s important to determine the placement that maximizes your bathroom space. Putting them in a bathroom closet could be the solution. This is also ideal for combined washer-dryer units, as it can give you more space for your clothes and laundry basket.

Utilize the Space Under Your Vanity

The underside of your vanity can also be a good place to put your washer and dryer. They can be placed side by side, stacked or concealed behind a cabinet. But depending on the design, you might have to sacrifice the extra sink (if you have one) or some cabinet space. A combo unit might be ideal if you want to keep most of your vanity space intact. 

Get an All-in-One Washer/Dryer Unit

This is the best way to maximize space without making the bathroom look cramped. Its steady rise in popularity is influenced by other countries that commonly use combo units in smaller homes and apartments. Some models don’t even need an exterior air vent! 

Stack Your Washer & Dryer

If you think that you’re better off with a separate washer and dryer but have minimal area, then make sure to get models that are front-loading and stackable to save more space in your bathroom. You’ll need to have a dryer vent installed that can run within the ceiling joists.
