Washing machine routine devised by Rylan speeds up laundry tasks, allowing for completion in half the usual time.
Optimizing Space with a Pantry-Style Laundry Cupboard
In the world of compact living, finding creative solutions to store bulky appliances is essential. One innovative approach is using a pantry-style laundry cupboard for a double-drum washer-dryer, as demonstrated by Rylan.
Maddie Balcombe, a former student at Cardiff University and now an Editorial Assistant at our platform, shares her enthusiasm for homeware and interior design, which was sparked during her university days. Balcombe's interest led her to admire Rylan's sleek and well-organized laundry setup.
Rylan's laundry cupboard, with a pantry-esque feel, houses a washer-dryer set up that is both sleek and slim. The duo, double-drum machine boosts the speed and efficiency of laundry days, allowing two loads to be washed at once in separate drums, using different cycles, temperatures, or spin speeds.
The finish of Rylan's laundry cupboard matches the rest of the cupboards in the room for a seamless look, as suggested by Liam Cookson, product manager at Haier Europe. Easy door access and airflow are crucial considerations when designing a laundry cupboard, as advised by Cookson. Push-to-open doors or pocket-style hinges can provide a sleek, unobtrusive finish, while ensuring adequate airflow around the washing machine is essential, as advised by Cookson.
When space is limited in a utility room, a double-drum washer-dryer can be stored neatly inside a dedicated laundry cupboard. Building or buying a cabinet sized exactly for the double-drum washer-dryer can include shelves or drawers above or beside the machine for storing detergents and laundry essentials. Cabinets designed with ventilation or open spaces are essential to avoid moisture buildup from the dryer.
Raising the washer-dryer to waist height using a pedestal creates extra storage below and makes loading/unloading easier, especially important for heavier double-drum units. Shelves, over-door racks, and storage down the sides can help keep laundry supplies organized within a laundry cupboard.
Sarah Dempsey, a cleaning and laundry expert at MyJobQuote.co.uk, states that double-drum washing machines like Rylan's allow doing two loads at the same time, effectively halving the time it takes to get everything washed. However, she advises that a double-drum washer-dryer requires a large laundry cupboard for proper accommodation.
In a recent video, Rylan showcases a nifty shelf above his washing machine, housing labelled containers full of washing detergent and fabric conditioner. This organisation tip keeps things tidy and accessible.
Unfortunately, the Haier Duo washer-dryer model, used by Rylan, is currently out of stock but will likely be available again at the end of the year. Despite this, the pantry-style laundry cupboard approach successfully balances storage, accessibility, and compactness for a larger double-drum washer-dryer in constrained utility rooms.
Storage solutions in a laundry room can extend beyond just the washer-dryer itself. For instance, the use of a pantry-style laundry cupboard can provide additional space for housing laundry essentials such as detergents and fabric softeners.
Incorporating pantry-style laundry cupboards in interior design, as demonstrated by Rylan, can be a great way to optimize space, especially in compact living situations. These cupboards can seamlessly match the rest of the room's decor, as suggested by Liam Cookson of Haier Europe.
Furthermore, fashion-and-beauty products and home-and-garden items can also benefit from efficient storage solutions. A well-organized pantry-style laundry cupboard can serve as a multi-purpose storage solution, making it easier to maintain an organized lifestyle.
