Comments (10)The undercounter or stacked machines behind cabinetry sounds great. With the machines under the counter you create a generous work surface above for folding clean laundry or for kitchen tasks. The advantage of a sunny exposure for laundry is that you can more easily see potential stains to be treated and little rips to be mended. My washer and dryer are in my kitchen area. The noise is not so noticeable in the kitchen as it is in the room that backs onto the laundry machines. Coordinating the timing of the wash and dry helps reduce the noise intrusion while that other room is being used....See MoreNeed Ideas for this eat-in kitchen
Comments (13)I would move the table to the window end of the room for view out and light while you eat . Perhaps turn it 90 degrees if that would work with the door opening. You may be able to seat 4. Make the rest of the right hand wall - about half of it a floor to ceiling wall of built in storage including the fridge. Suggest deep drawers for lower and double door pantry cupboards sitting above. The left hand wall in a long line of counter top with the cooker, sink, washing machine, lower cupboards or drawers. Tile backsplash along whole wall and two long open shelves plus art. Definitely replace the flooring - timber or even black and white checkerboard....See MoreOur asymmetrical laundry chute cupboard
Comments (9)i agree! yes those are doors to hotpress on the left so there will be dead space. Will attach those floor plans now shortly. Its definitely odd and its not sitting right with me. We are confined to a tiny space for laundry and that laundry chute on the right top corner (not pictured) is not movable to any other point. Its also supposed to be pictured as being atttatched to the ceiling above so the clothes are concealed. Its an old protected house so the window had to stay making it look very asymmetrical. Thanks for any further input! The problem is that we've already ordered the doors etc so theres no going back. Any ideas on what someone would have done had they the opportunity from scratch would be also well received! (we have loads of storage in a separate utility so this laundry is purely for clothes) Thanks in advance folks!...See MoreShoe Bench for a Utility Room
Comments (8)The only way to do this involves moving some cabinets. There is a lot of vertical space available opt 1) remove the upper cabinets near the window. Place the freezer on top of counter. Use the former freezer area to build in shoe cubbies. opt 2) Move the tall pantry cabinet up. Underneath the pantry cabinet, build in shoe cubbies. opt 3) move the freezer up to meet the bottom of the upper cabinets. Put she storage underneath freezer. You'll need to replace the counter with a smaller counter that will be over the washer and dryer only....See More

4 years agoI think the thing is, Kitchen designers aren't plumbers. Start with the plumber, find out what's possible with your pipework and then plan the kitchen around it, as you will be fully informed on what's possible.
I cannot see any reason why the pipes cannot come from the ground feed up the side of the washing machine and then go across at 90 degrees to under the boiler, then up again 90 degrees to the boiler itself. Like this:-
The only problem you really have is that the door above will need to be a cupboard door and the bottom is an integrated appliance door.

4 years agoMaths Wife that all makes sense to me regarding the pipework.
The doors/cabinet problem I am unsure... First pic below is the way U can think to do it? Pic 2 is how I would prefer it topple from the outside

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoThe problem is that you can't put an integrated washing machine in a pantry or larder unit or any unit at all.
An integrated appliance sits between two panels with a gap between them. The washing machine sits on the floor and the door is fixed to the washing machine. ie there's no cupboard or unit involved at all.
So a unit would look like this, a cupboard with feet and two doors ( ignore the shelves )
That won't work because there's no way of putting the washing machine in it.The other thing is, most cupboards would not be deep enough to put a boiler in either. Most people end up having to make a cupboard to fit.
