With a smart washing machine cabinet where your washer and dryer stand side by side, you gain space, peace, and comfort. You create a countertop at a comfortable height, keep everything neatly organized, and reduce vibrations and noise. Wasdroom designs cabinets with high load capacity and vibration absorption, so your appliances run stable and safe. Check out our Double washing machine cabinets (side by side). For a sleek integrated setup in a niche or utility room, there are also Built-in cabinets for washing machine and dryer.
Why choose a washing machine and dryer side by side in a cabinet
A side-by-side setup in a cabinet makes your laundry space immediately more efficient. You retain the full height for storage or a spacious countertop and work at an ergonomic height. Sorting, folding, and loading and unloading the drum go more smoothly because you don’t have to reach or bend like with stacking. Additionally, a cabinet offers a clean, integrated look where hoses and connections are neatly hidden. Unsure whether to stack or place side by side? Read the Laundry tower or side by side: what to choose?.
You’ll notice practical benefits every day. You can place a laundry basket on the countertop, pull out drawers for detergents, and put away clean laundry immediately. In compact utility rooms or niches, you use the full width, while under a sloped roof or with low ceiling height, a side-by-side setup actually fits better. If you choose a cabinet with a reinforced bottom and vibration-absorbing construction, the installation remains quiet and safe, even at higher spin speeds and heavier loads. Prefer a wide setup with extra storage? Then consider a Cabinet wall for the laundry room.
- Ergonomics – work zone at a comfortable height
- More overview – sorting and folding next to the machines
- Neat interior – cables and hoses out of sight
- Peace at home – vibration absorption for less noise
Assembly, stability, and safety
Start by measuring exactly: the width of both appliances, plus clearance for cables and hoses. Place the cabinet level with adjustable feet and anchor it to the wall for maximum stability. A rigid cabinet construction with a high load capacity up to 300 kg prevents sagging and safely supports heavy machines. Also pay attention to the connection points. Relevant installation tips can be found in Washing machine and dryer on the same drain.
Level both appliances and do not extend the feet more than necessary. Use anti-slip or damping mats under the feet where possible to reduce contact noise. Keep incoming and outgoing hoses free from kinks and ensure cords are not pinched behind panels. Follow the assembly instructions step by step – Wasdroom provides clear instructions so you can finish the setup safely and neatly. Test at 1200-1600 RPM and listen at resonance points to make small adjustments.
Material, ventilation, and vibration damping
A solid cabinet is essential for stable washing and drying. Choose a construction that combines mass and stiffness so vibrations are absorbed and not amplified. You can further reduce vibration transfer with rubber pads or damping mats under the machine feet and a sturdy wall mounting.
Ventilation deserves extra attention, especially when drying. Leave free space around the machines and ensure air circulation through slots or vents above and below. This allows heat to escape, prevents moisture buildup, and keeps odors and mold away. Place filters and condensers easily accessible so maintenance can be done quickly. This combination of sturdy construction, damping, and airflow keeps your setup quiet, safe, and energy-efficient.

Frequently asked questions
What dimensions do I need for washing machine and dryer side by side
For two 60 cm appliances, allow about 125-130 cm internal width, including 2-3 cm clearance per side. In depth, you usually need 60-70 cm plus space for hoses and plugs. Always check the appliance dimensions including protruding doors and knobs. More details can be found in Depth of washing machine and dryer: which cabinet fits?.
How do I ensure sufficient ventilation in a cabinet
Leave at least a few centimeters of free space behind and above the appliances and provide air openings at the bottom and top of the cabinet. Keep filters clean, do not pinch hoses, and leave the door open briefly after drying to let residual moisture escape.
How do I prevent vibrations and noise
Level the cabinet and appliances, anchor the cabinet to the wall, and use damping pads under the machine feet. Check that transport bolts are removed and balance the drum with an even load to reduce resonance.
