Why a wall of cabinets in the laundry room?
A well-designed wall of cabinets brings together everything you need for laundry and drying. You maximize the space's height and width, leaving floor space free. Placing the washer and dryer at a comfortable working height saves you back and shoulders when loading and unloading. You also enhance safety: appliances are stable, hoses and cables are neatly concealed, and cleaning supplies have a designated, secure location. For example, choose built-in cabinets as the foundation for both the washer and dryer to create a seamless, streamlined look. Finally, the laundry room looks more organized when the fronts and lines are continuous, especially if you tailor the layout to your size, style, and daily routine.
Measuring and planning: how to get started
A sleek cabinet wall starts with accurate measurements and a plan that takes connection points and walkway space into account. Record the measurements and determine where each module makes the most sense.
- Space - total height, width and depth of the niche or wall, including skirting board and any pipes.
- Connection points – positions of water, drain, electrical outlets and any air vents for the dryer.
- Floor and walls - check that the floor is level and where you can anchor.
- Appliances - dimensions, door opening direction and required clearance all around.
- Walking route - ample space for opening, sorting and placing baskets.
Allow a few millimeters to about 2 cm of clearance around your appliances and always follow the manufacturer's ventilation requirements, especially for dryers. Want to be sure everything fits? Check out the standard installation dimensions for a washing machine cabinet .
Choose your base: Single, Double or Stack
Wasdroom offers three series that allow you to easily create your laundry room wall unit. Combine modules side by side and on top of each other to create the ideal configuration for your size and use.
- Single Series - the compact choice for a single washer or dryer, ideal for narrow alcoves or as a tall unit next to a double or stackable unit. Perfect for adding storage space for detergents and accessories.
- Double Series - for placing a washing machine and dryer side by side. This is ergonomic and organized, with space for a countertop or wall cabinets for extra storage.
- Stacking Series - washer below, dryer above to free up floor space. Convenient for tight spaces or when you want to maximize your storage space.
Start by placing your appliances—side by side or stacked—and complement the wall of cabinets with tall or low cabinets for laundry baskets, ironing supplies, and cleaning products. This way, you create a sleek, modular wall of cabinets that grows with your needs. You can find more design principles and considerations in How to Design a Washing Machine Cabinet .
Stability, vibrations and load-bearing capacity
A solid wall of cabinets stands and remains stable, even at high speeds. Wasdroom cabinets are designed for heavy loads, with a load capacity of up to 300 kg per cabinet. This provides space for modern, heavier washing machines and dryers, plus additional storage capacity. For the best result, follow three steps: leveling, anchoring, and dampening.
- Leveling - Adjust the cabinets precisely so that the fronts are neatly aligned and the appliances are level. This prevents "wandering" due to vibration.
- Anchoring - Use appropriate wall plugs and brackets for your wall type. Connect modules together for a rigid, unified structure.
- Dampening - Place vibration-dampening feet or mats under the machine, and ensure the floor is level and firm.
Assemble according to the instructions. Wasdroom's plug-in installation makes surface mounting easy, but for safety, wall mounting is strongly recommended. Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions for maximum stability and ventilation. With proper installation and use, you retain the 5-year manufacturer's warranty on the cabinets.
Finish and water resistance
In a laundry room, the finish is just as important as the layout. Choose moisture-resistant materials and high-quality finishes on edges and fronts to prevent splashes and keep your cabinets looking their best. Lighter colors make small spaces appear larger, while understated fronts and continuous lines create a clean, streamlined look. Consider easy maintenance: scratch- and stain-resistant surfaces keep your cabinets looking their best for longer, even with heavy daily use.
