Effective and intuitive ideas for hiding a washing machine in a bathroom

Hiding the washing machine in the bathroom is a very common need: many people do not like to leave this appliance in plain sight in the bathroom. In a relatively large bathroom, this can be easier. Hiding the washing machine in a small bathroom, on the other hand, is almost always a major headache.

The need to hide the washing machine often arises when it is not possible to create a laundry area in another part of the house and you are forced to place the appliance inside the bathroom.

What furniture is used to hide a washing machine positioned in the bathroom? Before getting to the heart of the matter, we would like to give you some practical advice: not all washing machines available on the market are made and designed to be built-in. Before looking for a piece of furniture to hide our washing machine, it is therefore advisable to make sure that it can be built-in.

Having said that, let's continue with our guide that will help you to find the best solution to hide the washing machine inside the bathroom.

Closed bathroom furniture with concealed washing machine

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, fitting a washing machine in a small bathroom is not always an easy task. If you do not have an alternative, you can proceed by hiding the appliance inside a floor-standing cabinet, specially designed and built for this purpose and equipped with two hinged doors. To hide the appliance, depending on the depth of the latter, you can opt for the choice of two different modules, which you can place alongside the washbasin base unit or the other compartments closed during the day.

In this way, you can hide the washing machine in the bathroom with great style, coordinating the cabinet with the design that distinguishes your spaces. In this regard, it is good to point out that there are collections of contemporary bathroom furniture on the market today that offer bases for hiding work areas.

In any case, the base unit with two hinged doors is the ideal and extremely functional solution, since it allows us to insert the appliance inside it in a discreet and elegant way, making it practically invisible. In the side-by-side modules, you can then arrange all the products necessary for washing clothes and laundry.

Concealed washing machine cabinet or mini laundry room

If it is possible to use the height of the space in your bathroom, in this case you can decide to insert a real laundry cupboard in the room. This element, in addition to effectively hiding the washing machine, can be equipped with shelves for storing detergents, laundry and more.

Exploiting recesses and niches in the bathroom to hide the washing machine

If the space in your bathroom allows it, you can decide to make intelligent use of the presence of a niche, inside which you can decide to place the washing machine. In this configuration, you can also decide to put the washing machine inside a piece of furniture. An alternative can also be represented by the predisposition of a curtain to cover the washing machine.

Inserting a modern washing machine in a designer cabinet

If you want to give a touch of modernity and dynamism to the environment of your bathroom and at the same time hide the washing machine from view, you can opt for the purchase of an appliance characterised by particularly modern and minimalist lines. In this case, you can decide to insert the appliance only partially into a design cabinet.

This idea actually results in a solution that could be called hybrid. The space will be carefully organised in height without the presence of doors and fixed closing systems. Also in this case there are no preclusions to the use of a curtain (perhaps in linen) to close the cabinet space, with a touch of country chic style (link country style article).
