LanguageTumble dryers have become indispensable appliances in our homes. However, finding the ideal spot for your tumble dryer in a small house can be a challenge.
In this article, we'll explore various tumble dryer placement options and answer common questions if you’re short on space. For instance, looking at whether you can put a tumble dryer on top of a washing machine, in a cupboard, under the stairs, or even in a bathroom.
Additionally, we'll discuss different stylish laundry cabinet options such as white tumble dryer cabinets and black oak tumble dryer cabinets. Both options you’ll also find right here on our website!
In a small house, optimising space is essential, and finding the right spot for your tumble dryer can be a creative challenge.
Whether you choose to stack a dryer on top of your washing machine, place it in a cupboard, under the stairs or anywhere else - safety, ventilation, and convenience should always be your top priorities.
Here are three space-saving options you’ll find on our website to guide your search:
Our smallest possible unit that can hold a tumble dryer. Perfect if space in your home is truly at a premium. This unit also has the benefit of having a great working height for ease of use.
Where width is limited but there’s a little more ceiling height to play with, this model offers some additional storage space up top. As a result, this then saves the need to find this storage elsewhere in the room providing the ultimate convenience.
While this article focuses on where to put a tumble dryer in a small home, you may also lack space for a washing machine. If so, this unit will combine both appliances within a stacked configuration.
One common space-saving technique is to stack your tumble dryer on top of your washing machine. This setup is not only efficient but also practical. Washtower offers special cupboards designed to securely set your tumble dryer to your washing machine. This setup is a great option for small utility rooms or kitchens with limited floor space.
Utilising the space under the stairs is a clever way to integrate a tumble dryer into your small house. However, before doing so, assess the available space and access to ventilation. If there's enough room and proper ventilation can be ensured, this can be an excellent option.
Placing a tumble dryer under a sloping roof is possible but comes with certain considerations. The angle and height of your roof may affect the installation. Ensure there is sufficient headroom for the tumble dryer to function safely and efficiently.
Proper ventilation remains crucial, as confined spaces can accumulate heat and moisture, affecting both the appliance and the room.
As with any creative storage option for a tumble dryer, we would advise double-checking with a professional first
While it might seem unconventional, it's possible to install a washing machine and tumble dryer in a bathroom if space constraints demand it. However, this approach comes with some caveats.
First and foremost, safety is paramount. Make sure the bathroom is adequately ventilated to disperse moisture and prevent condensation.
Additionally, consult local building codes and regulations, as placing electrical appliances in bathrooms can be subject to specific requirements
Putting a tumble dryer in a cupboard is another space-saving strategy. For example, the Basic cupboard WSCS1462 could be a great choice! Apart from the fact that it is designed in a way that naturally absorbs vibration it comes as well with a TÜV-certification.
