Yes, sorry forgot to mention that the office is now becoming the office/laundry room. Lots of laundry activities - sorting, folding, drying, ironing, and possibly sorting. Pantry/food, small appliance, and cleaning supply storage is also great. Office work, computer, mail sorting/bill paying, and some crafting too.

I think i would put the W/D and laundry sink along the wall farthest away from the door. Can you vent the dryer to the outside if so, it should go closest to the window side. I would use front loaders and put a countertop above them that I could use for folding. On the other wall I would have standard upper and lower cabinets-if possible, you may not have enough space on either side of that window. The window is office size, not laundry room size. I think that you could have a pulldown desk attached to the back of the closet. Water/sewer pipes require venting through the roof and that is not reflected in your plans yet.

Like this only larger.

Short run of lower cabs, trash, and W/D on left wall. Strip of cubbies under window for laundry baskets? Upper and lower cabs with sink on right wall. Desk in corner niche. Pull down ironing board and drying rack on inner wall beside it.

I don't have an opinion on your layout, but you do have a nice space available.

A small desk for record keeping or a quick lookup on the comport sounds nice. Extensive desk work would not be good in my opinion. I have a small office setup in the laundry room and I don't like it. Washing machines and dryers are noisy.

If you are doing front loaders, most washing machines open to the left and so I would definitely put the washer on the left side of the dryer. The Electrolux washing machine has a reversible door unlike other washers, but then you are tied to that brand if you put the washer on the right. Taking clothes from the washer to the dryer is much easier if the doors don't get in the way.

Thank you for your opinions! Great things to think about! I like the look of front loads but the function of top loaders better, so I am a bit torn. I am not looking to make it my primary office space (I work from home). More just an area to catch mail, pay bills, etc. A small area would be more than sufficient. I would prefer to focus more on laundry space, some kitchen storage, and a small sewing/crafting area would be awesome.

Dream..don't choose your laundry machines based on looks. If you like the function of top loaders better than I would say that's what you should seek out. Otherwise you may have a rather expensive regret.

I agree mamapinky0 - I just need to find some top loader inspiration! ;)

Speed Queen AWN432 lol...yes it will run you about 800$ but it has a excellent warrenty that you do not pay extra for. Hot wash is true tap hot and not dubbed down to warm..it fills full, no half fill on extra large loads. The lid can be fixed with a clothes pin in the back that takes 20 seconds to place in case you want the lid open when washing. These machines are built to last and are the closest you will find to a real traditional top loader. You should check them out along with the other options on the market.

mamapinky0 - I must have missed a comment. What kind of machines are you referring to?

Speed Queen Top Load washers.

Ooops, all this house building stress is getting to me, lol. Thank you!

Any thoughts about this layout?

I would want my washer next to my dryer.

I would want the washer next to the dryer and I would want them on the other wall because they stick out quite a bit into that hallway. You can put a fairly narrow cubby sorting area and you can also have a folding area anywhere you want it if it's a pull out a pulldown scenario.

Do the sink and the dog bath need to be two separate things? That's a lot of plumbing for one room.

I was thinking the same thing, practigal. I would think one or the other should suffice, then you'd have more room for storage.

I'd probably just prefer a big sink

Here are my suggestions:

Completely separate the laundry from the office area. No adjoining counters. You can fold clothes as you take them out of the dryer.

I would get a huge deep sink and skip the dog bath. My fabricator made a cover for my sink that matches the corian countertops. So it's a handy place when not in use.

Put the washer beside the dryer.

I wouldn't put in a built-in trash cabinet if this room doesn't generate a lot of garbage. Why not put a 12" base cabinet there that can store supplies and the cabinet doors would face the hallway that leads into the room.

Do you need a place for an extra fridge or a chest freezer?

Is this house already built?

Thank you for your suggestions gardenwebcupofkindness! I am trying to figure out how to separate the laundry and office areas. Could you explain that more? I do anticipate a lot of garbage/recycling in that room. Laundry always has a TONS of garbage (lint, wrappers, etc.), but also it will be a command center for mail, which also generates a ton of trash. And extra fridge would be would be dreamy if we can make room for it. What size sink would you recommend? I think I will be doing ikea cabinets/counters/storage solutions in this room since it will be behind closed doors and I already over doubled the budget in the kitchen. Thanks!

If you are doing IKEA, you might think about their 15" base cabinets for part of the room. They are great for me and my DH office that I just did off our kitchen. I'm not done yet. I will link to my post on the kitchen forum that I started last year.

Sektion 15" Cabinets in Office

Thank you so much enduring! Did you use the Ikea Kitchen designer to design the space? I have tried, but it is truly making me crazy. I am not sure if I should just go to the store and have them help me.

Yes go to the store and have them help you. I used the online program but it was hard. I only had one wall so it was easy to just focus on that. I drew in desk space to get an idea of space in my very small room of 9.5x8+ feet. It has worked great. The store helped me fine tune the details of what I needed.
