To be or not to be a washing machine in the kitchen? This question most often grants owners of typical apartments with tiny bathrooms. In truth, the answer is unequivocal, that's just it remains to decide how to competently enter a rather large technique in the design of small-sized cuisine. We propose to consider several proven solutions with photo examples.

"For" and "against" washing machine in the kitchen room

Let's start with positive moments. First, by mouncing the machine in the furniture headset, it is possible to save about 1 m2 that in the cramped space is a rather weighty metra. Secondly, thanks to the close location to water communications, during the installation of the unit, you can avoid unnecessary spending on consumables (connecting tubes, hoses, extension cords, etc.). Finally, the presence of "washing" at hand at the hostess increases the functionality of the room and reduces homemade troubles to a minimum.

Of course, there are a number of shortcomings of the placement of this household appliance in the kitchen. According to the rules of operation, after washing the door, the machine must be left open so that the internal components are dried. This condition can create some difficulties in movement and work at the table top; In addition, the open door violates the aesthetics of small-sized cuisine (also concerns and storing dirty linen in the reservoir of the aggregate).

In addition to all other, household chemicals for washing (powder, air conditioning, softener, etc.) - not the most successful addition to food; Even with a careful falling asleep / dumping funds in the tray, small particles rise into the air, and then settle on food.

Ideas for household appliances

By deciding whether to "attach" a washing machine, think what kind of design (with front or vertical download) offers the greatest convenience. If you plan to install it in a free corner, the most optimal option is a solution with vertical loading. If the device becomes part of the overall furniture design, then the only option is a solution with front loading.

A place near the washing is considered the most suitable for installing a washing machine. This company will perfectly fit another "wet" unit - dishwasher. The advantage of this approach is regarded in the possibility of organizing the overall flow of water and connecting to sewage.

How to harmoniously enter the machine in the situation of small-sized cuisine? It can be hidden in the cabinet or embedded in the headset. Both first and the second option has its advantages and disadvantages.

When placed in the end, it disappears the need to select the model under the style of the room. Behind the closed doors, you can install the device of any design and color.

On the contrary, if you are going to embed it in the furniture set on one line with facades under the common countertop, you will have to work hard to find the model suitable for design. At the same time, the built-in design is more reliable than separately standing, since it is perfectly connected to the furniture housing and completely eliminates vibration.

Very often embedded machines set deeper the line of the facades in order to disguise the technique for the ordinary end. With this task, it is perfectly coping with identical facades in the appearance of the door (see photo below). If the width of the unit exceeds 60 cm, then in the closet it is better to provide two doors, whose loops would provide an angle of opening more than 90 degrees.

Connecting a washing machine

Kitchens in a small-sized apartment do not tolerate kilometers of hoses and hundreds of fasteners, since it is simply no place for them. Therefore, to establish a "wet" unit is recommended as close as possible to the plum and water supply.
