Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry Re: Combined laundry and bathroom - your thoughts 8Aug 28, 2010 11:25 pm I have a laundry-bathroom, it's approx. 2x3m. Laundry is along one 2m wall - sink in bench at one end, fron loader under the bench at the other end and wall mounted dryer. Cabinets in the free space above and below the bench; 1x 120cm and 1x 60cm cabinets. Ikea. The window in the middle of one long side, the door in the middle of the other. Toilet in the corner behind the door, corner shower next to it and small vanity under the window. It works, and it means we have 2 full bathrooms in the house - which is very handy! If I was doing it again, I'd make the laundry a cupboard laundry I think. Honestly, I dislike wasting space on it as it tends to not be usable space. It just fills up with junk that breeds to fill the space. Status: sold our first house, moved in with parents, bought our second in Pakenham, still planning to build in a few years time. Re: Combined laundry and bathroom - your thoughts 9Aug 29, 2010 9:38 pm We are putting our laundry behind bifolds in the bathroom of our new place. I have just arranged to install a fan in the laundry cupboard - our current place is quite damp and I am obsessed with making sure that we eliminate as much moisture as possible from the new one. Don't forget to put in enough power points! e. Re: Combined laundry and bathroom - your thoughts 10Aug 30, 2010 7:52 pm We are in the process of renovating and extending a 1930s house, and will be putting the laundry in what will become the family bathroom (in the space which is now the laundry and toilet, expanding it out a bit). Our architect suggested it to us quite tentatively, but we thought it was a great idea to utilise the existing plumbing. We saw it as an easy area to reduce costs in. DH's parents' house is massive, but their laundry is in a small space under the stairs. It works fine. We moved back from the UK recently, so got used to having a combined washer/dryer in the kitchen, which is very common over there. We thought is was luxurious when we rented a flat which had the washer/dryer in a cupboard! Forget a laundry sink though! Laundries (or utility rooms as they are called) seem to be unheard of in London, except in big houses. Re: Combined laundry and bathroom - your thoughts 11Aug 31, 2010 9:52 pm I would go the combo washer/dryer to save on space. As the above post mentions, over in the UK there is no such thing as a laundry. On TV reno shows i've always seen them behind cupboards, most commonly in the kitchen, I assume so there is a sink available?!? I don't think it really matters where they are as long as you can open a window when running the dryer, and place them behind closed doors. I really like shoving things in cupboards.. laundries and computer desks are great to hide away. Although in saying this my laundry is many metres long with a full length robe on one side.. but I have a heck of a lot of linen to store. Hey all, Hoping for some inspiration for my bathroom laundry combo. The tiles are in good condition, as is the bathtub.
