Layout and cabinetry

  1. Stack the washer and dryer with a proper stacking kit to free floor space.
  2. Build cabinets around the machines for a fitted look.
  3. Add a worktop over front loaders for folding.

Open storage

  1. Fit open oak shelves above the worktop.
  2. Decant detergents into labelled glass jars with lids.
  3. Use woven baskets for cloths, pegs and odd socks.

Drying and hanging

  1. Install a pull-out drying rack in a drawer.
  2. Mount a hanging rail for shirts and delicates.
  3. Add a slim rolling cart between appliances.
  4. Hang an ironing board on a wall bracket behind the door.

Tip: Keep detergents, pods and bleach on high shelves or in locked cabinets, because laundry pods are a real poisoning risk for children and pets. Never decant chemicals into food-style containers without clear labels, always use a manufacturer-approved stacking kit, and leave ventilation space around the dryer.
