Can you put a washing machine in the bathroom?

First of all, it should be said that in most cases the washing machine is installed in the kitchen because this room is usually larger than the bathroom in most homes. However, there are also some houses that have two bathrooms and one of them serves as a "laundry". In short, what we mean by this is that the size of the room is a very determining factor when choosing the location of the washing machine.

You may be wondering: but can the washing machine be installed in the bathroom? That is, is it feasible to opt for this option? The answer is yes, since this appliance only needs to be connected to the electrical current and a water supply, two conditions that you can easily find in a bathroom. With this issue clarified, we are going to tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of installing the washing machine in the bathroom compared to doing it in the kitchen.

Advantages and disadvantages of installing a bathroom washing machine

ADVANTAGE

-Greater comfort of use. You get in the shower, you get out and you put the dirty clothes directly in the washing machine. In this way, you will save yourself the walks to the kitchen and those mistakes of leaving your clothes piled up on the bathroom floor.

–Clothes are not in contact with food. Placing it in the bathroom can be "more hygienic" than doing it in the kitchen because if we take the clean laundry out of the washing machine while we are cooking a succulent fish dish (hence the strong smell) the clothes could lose that good aroma of the detergent that we like so much.

-More space in the kitchen. Let's face it, the kitchen is that place in the house where there is never a single person. The cook, the one who picks up and puts the dishwasher and the one who puts the laundry coexist in it. This can sometimes be a nuisance, especially if the kitchen is small. If we install the washing machine in the bathroom we can save a little more space (and "eliminate" one of the occupants of the kitchen) and use it for the installation of other electrical appliances or as a storage area.

DISADVANTAGES

-Noise. For many, the moment of the shower is the most relaxing time of the day and for nothing in the world would they want to have the annoying noise of the washing machine in the background. At some point, you may need to shower and run the washing machine at the same time, which would be a disadvantage. However, in many specialized stores you can find some models of silent washing machines to minimize the problem.

-Space. Space is, without a doubt, the biggest disadvantage of installing a washing machine in the bathroom, since you have to take into account that between the sink, the shower tray (or the bathtub), the WC and the different cabinets and shelves to store the products in most of them there is usually no space for a washing machine. In the event that there is, we find another disadvantage that is aesthetics. If you have a designer bathroom, perhaps a washing machine could make it ugly.

At this point, we should ask ourselves, how to install the washing machine in the bathroom? That is, what is the ideal place to locate it?
