There’s just something nice about having a laundry space that works—not one that feels like it was squeezed in as an afterthought. Whether you’re making the most of a tiny apartment kitchen or dreaming of a proper utility room, how you set up your washer and dryer can totally change the way laundry fits into your day-to-day life.
Every home has its own personality and constraints. Maybe you’re tucking laundry into a kitchen corner, or perhaps you have a proper utility room but want to maximise storage. That’s where clever solutions like stacking your appliances or building them into cabinetry really come into play—both offer different ways to make the most of your space without compromising on style or function.
Why Stack Laundry Appliances?
Stacking appliances isn’t just about saving space—though that’s certainly a welcome bonus. It’s about creating flow in your home. When you stack your washing machine and tumble dryer, you’re essentially building a laundry column that works with your natural movements. No more awkward bending between machines or doing the laundry shuffle across the room.
The height advantage means you can load and unload at a more comfortable level, making the weekly wash feel less like a chore and more like a manageable part of your routine. Plus, there’s something undeniably sleek about that clean vertical line—it makes even the most utilitarian space feel intentional and well-designed.
What’s more, both our washing machine and tumble dryer feature A to A++ energy ratings, helping to reduce your household energy bills whilst delivering excellent performance. This means you can enjoy the convenience of perfectly stacked appliances whilst knowing you’re making an environmentally conscious choice that’s kinder to your wallet too.
If stacking doesn’t work for you, why not integrate your appliances neatly into your cabinetry. The built-in approach transforms your laundry area into something that feels more like beautiful furniture. The key is in the foundation such as, furniture drawers with reinforced hard tops that sit perfectly beneath your appliances.
Those deep drawers become the perfect home for bulky items like fabric softener bottles, cleaning supplies, and spare bedding. No more cramming everything into a narrow cabinet above the machines or losing items in the back of a deep shelf.
The hard top surface distributes the weight of your appliances evenly. This means your washing machine and dryer sit at the ideal height—no more crouching down to load the washer or stretching to reach the dryer controls. The whole system integrates so seamlessly—it’s this kind of thoughtful integration that makes a house feel truly custom and well-planned.
Creating a thoughtful laundry area is about acknowledging that even functional spaces in our homes deserve attention and care. Whether you’re starting from scratch or improving an existing setup, consider how your laundry area could work harder for you. Sometimes the most transformative changes come from simply reorganising what you already have in a way that makes more sense for how you live.
With energy efficiency becoming increasingly important for both environmental and financial reasons, choosing appliances with A or A++ energy ratings ensures your beautifully organised laundry space is also working intelligently to keep running costs down.
Small changes can make a surprisingly big difference in how this essential area of your home functions. Our STACKKIT and furniture drawer systems, combined with A to A++ rated energy efficient appliances, offer the perfect blend of style, functionality, and economy.
