It is unlikely that anyone will dispute the fact that having a laundry room in your own apartment is extremely convenient.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, a room with a washing machine and dryer, an ironing board, household chemicals and other household “accessories” cannot be called luxury – it is rather a practical, comfortable and reasonable solution.

If you are thinking about equipping such a room in your apartment, the first thing you should do is find the answer to the question of where to place the laundry room.

The main thing to focus on when organizing a laundry room is the ability to connect utilities.

To set up a laundry area, water and sewer pipes are required. The room should be located in the "wet zone".

A small digression: the room must be equipped not only with risers, but also with high-quality ventilation to provide a sufficient amount of fresh air.

A heating source for quick drying of laundry (meaning a heated towel rail, radiator, heated floor, etc.) will not be a hindrance, but on the contrary, will be beneficial.

Typically, a second bathroom or an additional bathroom is converted into a laundry room in an apartment.

In rare cases, a storage room or part of a hallway can be converted for this purpose.
