Can You Put a Washer and Dryer in a Kitchen? 'Yes', Say Designers, and Here Are 5 Ways to Make It Work

A kitchen with sage green cabinetry, a pink tiled backsplash, and a built-in washer and dryer stacked on top of each other.

Where in the home should a washer and dryer go? It's a question that Europeans and North Americans will give you two different answers to. For most of us, the dream scenario would be a dedicated utility room suitable for both washing and drying your laundry. For those of us in smaller homes, however, that dream will never be a reality. Instead, the kitchen becomes their home.

It might seem unnatural to some, but the kitchen is actually a very suitable place for your washer and dryer; after all, our kitchens are home to almost every other bulky appliance we own. There's also the fact that you can utilize the existing plumbing to hook up both machines, meaning there's no need for costly remodelling just to install your inlet and outlet hose.
