No Laundry Room? 7 Ways to Sneak a Washer/Dryer Into the Kitchen

While a dedicated laundry room is certainly a nice amenity to have, it’s often just not possible because of space constraints. Good thing it’s relatively easy to shimmy a washer and dryer into the kitchen. Here, 7 ways to integrate them into the hardest-working room of your home:

1. Slip them under the counter.

2. Integrate them into a U-layout.

3. Go European.

4. Stack them up.

5. Carve out a hidden room.

6. Create a closet.

7. Blend them in.
