A small bathroom is a real headache for its owners, because it is so difficult to fit everything you need in it.

However, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino is sure: if you use a couple of design tricks, even in a tiny bathroom there will be room for a washing machine.

Here's what you can do to ensure that your washing machine is in the room it's intended for and doesn't detract from the beauty and comfort.

Near the washbasin

One of the most popular solutions is to install a washing machine next to the sink. To visually unite these elements, you can use one countertop.

In the niche

If you have a niche in your bathroom, use it to install a washing machine - this will leave you with plenty of storage space for other things.

Under the flat washbasin

Installing a washing machine under a flat sink can be called not only an original, but also a very compact solution. However, it has a significant disadvantage: the sink may be too high.

In the closet

Often, owners of small bathrooms buy a special cabinet or make it themselves or to order. In the latter case, you can decide for yourself what the size and height of the cabinet will be. If there is so little space that it is impossible to open the cabinet doors, replace them with a beautiful curtain, and build more shelves inside so that in addition to the machine, you can hide all the towels and hygiene products here.

Near the shower stall

If you are willing to replace your bathtub with a shower stall, you will have enough space to install a washing machine, as well as cabinets, storage chests, and a laundry basket. All this while allowing you to move around the bathroom without any obstacles.
