If You are a Multitasker...

Would you welcome this design in your house?

Nope!!! Unless I was in an efficiency apt. or lived somewhere where space was a premium. Which unless life dictated as such, isn't my style or preference at all! I could see this in NYC or another high density area?! Or student housing?

Uh, that would be a no. I can multitask without everything being in the same room.

Or a hotel room or tourist/vacation rental?

I would! I have a friend who also has her washer and dryer in her bathroom. Works out great for them and it would for me too. closet is right there where I keep my clothes and linens. Only thing extra I would want is a place to hang clothes that I want to air dry.

When I had a two story home with the bedrooms on the second floor I always wished the washer/dryer was there. Makes more sense as that's where the majority of laundry is generated. No need now as my home is 1 story.

It wouldn't be my first choice for the W/D location but I don't think it's a terrible idea.

The only thing I don't like is the very dark color. It's very gloomy looking.

Never. I wash my laundry to get it clean. I don't think that can happen in the bathroom. That's so gross.

Nothing like sitting on the toilet folding laundry?

In the bathroom is a no for me. Mine are in a closet in the bedroom where clothes come off and where they get put away when washed and dried.

No. I don't want the washer and dryer in the bathroom, especially right next to the toilet!

And those machines look huge. How tall would you have to be to even reach the buttons on the top machine? Maybe they're controlled by a remote?

I also want something close by to fold things. I wonder if this is some guy's apartment.

Having a bathroom/laundry room combination is quite common. I used to have this set up when I first got married and had our first place.

it makes good sense because the plumbing is located in the same room. It is not gross and no one sits on the toilet to fold laundry...what a crazy thought.

Our washer and dryer is located in the bathroom and I am fine with that. I don't fold laundry while on the toilet and the units are in an alcove with sliding doors like a closet. Configuration existed when we bought the house and we haven't changed it.

Re: If You are a Multitasker...

ScrapHappy — Sat, 10 Jul 2021 06:11:43 GMT

No, not at all. I wouldn't be able to reach the top washer or dryer without using a step ladder.

Re: If You are a Multitasker...

SurferWife — Sat, 10 Jul 2021 07:16:28 GMT

Ideally, no, but my washer & dryer is in my bathroom.

Well, I don't know if I would welcome the design but I did live in a small cottage with a similar configuration. Much less fancy, though.

I'm pretty much good as long as there is a washer/dryer. We lived in an apartment w/out - you had to go to a neighboring building and people would steal your dryer time! I'd come in to a basket of wet clothes, so I learned I had to babysit. What a drag.

As others said, maybe in a vacation rental, etc, but not in my regular home......no. Also, the room is very dark and ominous.

I don't mind this at all. In my townhouse I have a stacked w/d in my second bathroom, not my master. It works for me as it's just the two of us and I also keep my drying rack in that shower. The dryer buttons are a bit high but I have a little step stool to help me out.

This idea of a washer/drier in a bathroom is a turn off for me.

Re: If You are a Multitasker...

We live in a one story home. My laundry room is off the kitchen and I like it there since I use part of the room for storage. It works well for me.

It's not my ideal location for a W/D but I'd be OK with it it that's the only option.
