Thinking bout putting the washer and dryer in our walkin closet.  I can make the closet any size.  I think it would be handier as far as laundry goes! and we have no kids just hubby and I.  What you all think? Does anyone have this? do you like?

Bump

Consider it in the bathroom or a mud room.

if you come in dirty do you really want to haul dirty nasty clothes through your bedroom into your closet?

Currently our washer/dryer is in our bathroom.  Super handy when the husband (or me for that matter but more frequently him) comes in gross and heads straight to the shower.  He tosses his stuff straight in the washer.  I keep a hamper of my clothes that I don't want washed with his stuff and do a load when it's full.

We're adding on next spring and plan to relocated the washer/dryer to a new mud room which will have a door into the new master bath.  I'll install countertop and cabinets where the washer/dryer currently is because we don't have a ton of storage currently.

I am going to have a mud room and it will be next to our master closet and bathroom.  there will be a door from the mudroom to the master closet.  So Im not sure exactly where to put the washer and dryer.  I keep looking at pictures and I like in either one.  So I was wondering how other people like where their laundry room is.  Thank you!

I'd put it in a mudroom. We built a new house 4 years ago and put our laundry room right by the garage, which is the main entrance we use as a family. It's really nice that when we're dirty, we can just strip in the garage then put our clothes directly in the washing machine. Plus, living in the country we often times have grass and such that falls out of the washing machine or dryer after it's finished running. I would not want all that junk falling out on the floor in my carpeted bedroom.

If you can work a floor plan so that it's in your mudroom, and there's a door from the mudroom to your WIC (so you'd have 2 doors in your WIC, one from your bedroom and one from the mudroom), that would be a really handy set up. 

I'd put it in the mudroom.

Mudroom all the way if you have to pick one or the other. Years ago I lived in a place where I had a stackable washer and dryer in the mudroom and one in my master bedroom closet. I always just used the mudroom one becuase my dirty clothes never made it past that and it was not that big of a deal to take the dirty clothes from the closet to the mudroom rather than the other way. Good luck and have fun with your new house! 

I wouldnt put it in the walkin closet.  The lint dust alone is a huge turn off to me.  Even vented to the outside the lint dust is on everything in the laundry room at my house. 

Agree about the lint dust, my laundry roon is next to my kitchen and I have to keep the door closed so the lint dust does not drift into the kitchen and living room area, I sure would not be wanting a washer and dryer in my clothes closet, I would put the washer and dryer as close to a back door as possible, I have a screened in back porch and my Laundry room door goes into it.

This. I looked at a house that also had a shower in the mud room. I thought that was a great idea!

Ours is in laundry room, which is right at carport door--that way if any of us are too nasty, strip outside and clothes go straight into washer!  And there have been those days. . . 

Great! the mudroom it goes!  The mudroom will also have the back door that will go out towards the barn or shop!

Thanks!

Try to get the most storage you can in your mud room. It’s a catch all, shower for really dirty times and dogs, laundry room, cleaning supplies, barn  attire storage, dog food storage and  where the dogs hang out here.
