Almost every home has or will soon have a washing machine. A necessary thing in the household and an irreplaceable assistant. The dimensions of the unit itself are, perhaps, what you have to measure with and specially select a place for the washing machine.
Standard apartments do not differ in space, and in the buildings of the last century, the presence of such equipment at home was not provided at all, so the question of where to locate the washing machine is not always easy to resolve. Everyone solves the problem of placement in their own way, but there are general solutions that may be suitable for many apartments.
Bathroom
Allocating a separate room for the washing machine and designating it as a home laundry is a rather daring option, but the reality is that only a bath can become such a room, and even then, if the meters allow.
In a large bathroom, it is best to place the washing machine in a separate cupboard with shutter doors. the machine itself will be located below, and the shelves needed in the household on top. The bathtub is also convenient because you do not have to stretch the communication system for supplying and draining water and an electric wire, over long distances, everything will be directly connected right in the room.
There are also small-sized cars, they can be installed under the sink, this option is perfect for bachelor studio apartments.
Kitchen
The second most popular place for a washing machine is the kitchen. Usually, the kitchen area is, nevertheless, more spacious than the bathroom, besides, communication systems are also at hand here. The kitchen can accommodate a washing machine of almost any size, which is very important for family houses..
Of the obvious drawbacks, it must be admitted that household chemicals, such as washing powder, are not the best seasoning for dishes, so it is important to observe elementary care so that powder dust does not get into the food..
Corridor or dressing room
If there is no room for a washing machine, then it can be located in the corridor or dressing room. Corridors are different in configuration; in square spaces, you can arrange a plasterboard niche that will hide all communications and separate the car from the residential part. This option is quite acceptable, a working machine will not bother anyone.
Loggias and balconies
It is certainly possible to place the washing machine on the balcony, there is nothing surprising here. The balcony is practically a separate room for the washing machine, where it will work by itself and you will not hear the noise. The only caveat, the balcony or loggia must be insulated at the room level.
The machine is designed to operate under certain temperature conditions, sudden temperature changes and frost can lead to system breakdown. Therefore, making a choice in favor of a balcony, it is necessary to carry out serious work on insulation.
It is best if the location for the washing machine is chosen before the start of repair work. Preliminary planning will help to correctly place the car in the house.
