To choose the right layout for your laundry, first of all you have to take into account the appliances you have. Is it a washer dryer or a single washing machine? Is your appliance big, medium or small? Depending on this, you can afford different layouts.

If you have a washer dryer, you need more space for installation. If you only have one washing machine, finding a place for it will be easier.

Which type of configuration to choose also depends on your own desires and your daily habits. Some people only do laundry once a week, while others do it a few times a week. If you are one of the first, you may not need to have your washing machine always at hand. Then choose a more isolated and hidden corner for its location.

Important tip: When buying your appliance, plan where you will install it and take the exact measurements. We adapt objects to space and not the other way around.
