Laundry furniture: can the washing machine be hidden?

If it is not possible to organize a space dedicated solely to laundry in the home, the need often arises to place the washing machine in the bathroom, hiding it as much as possible for aesthetic reasons.

For this reason there are laundry furniture that can hide this appliance partially or completely.

First of all, it is good to check that your washing machine allows for built-in installation in a cabinet: the washing machine may in fact be too large or produce excessive condensation inside the cabinet if this type of installation is not specified in the instructions.

Furniture for washing machine in the bathroom

The best-selling piece of furniture that allows you to house the washing machine in the bathroom is the one that combines the washing machine and sink in a single object. In most cases, the washing machine compartment is left free on the front in order to have a convenient support surface on the appliance but without having any constraints on the front in order to have more play.

One of the best-selling models is the Smart cabinet by Geromin, including sink and washing machine holder: it is a base with white acrylic sink and shelf that can be positioned on the right or left whose dimensions are 60x110 cm height 92.5 cm with a 28cm deep tub.

Under the sink there is also a sliding laundry basket 36x36 cm, height 41cm.

In this piece of furniture, the washing machine is simply covered by a surface while it remains free in the front part to facilitate loading and unloading operations.

Depending on the size of the bathroom and the type of furniture, it is also possible to choose more complex models, perhaps allowing the positioning not only of the washing machine but also of the dryer.

Also in this case the Geromin brand turns out to be very well stocked: the Store and Store Excellent collections have a wide range of bases available in different wood effect colors and essences and being modular furniture, they can be sized by our interior designers to fit perfectly on the wall. of your bathroom.

For example, the washing machine and dryer can be positioned inside the tall unit, a sturdy wooden structure in which the appliances can be positioned one above the other while remaining easily accessible from the front so that they can be used in a simple way.

In this configuration it is always advisable to place the washing machine in the compartment on the ground both because the washing machine has a heavier weight than the dryer, and because, due to the spin cycle, it may be subject to greater movements during operation.

Alternatively, the two appliances can be positioned next to each other in a configuration similar to that previously seen in the smart monobloc cabinet: in this case the top of the cabinet is extended to cover both the washing machine and the dryer in order to have a homogeneous together and a good aesthetic effect.

In larger bathrooms it is possible to equip an entire wall with a piece of furniture capable of housing a washing machine and dryer but also equipped with shelves (open or with doors) that can help you organize towels and detergents to have a laundry area always in order .
