How do you hide your washing machine?

Built-in washing machines, built-in washer dryer combinations, and front-loading machines aren't suitable for placement in a cupboard. Top-loading machines can't be installed on the bottom, because they have an opening on top. Read our tips on how to hide a washing machine here:

• Hide a built-in machine or washer dryer combination in the kitchen cabinet.
• Hide a front-loading machine behind a curtain.
• Use a stacking set to make room on the floor.

To hide your washing machine or washer dryer combination in a cabinet, you should choose a built-in appliance. You recognize them by the magnets on the front. To fit in your kitchen or cabinet, they have adjustable legs and a removable lid. That's useful because it allows you to adjust the height of the machine to the counter. Follow the steps to install the machine:

• First, connect the washing machine.
• Mount the door hinges on the washing machine.
• The built-in washing machine has 2 magnets, screw the counterpart onto the door as the last step.

You can build your front-loading washing machine into most kitchen cabinets with a depth of 60cm. Folding or sliding doors save room. To prevent having to bend over when loading the washing machine, place the machine at hip height or stack it onto your dryer. A practical thing about placing a machine in a cabinet is that you can keep the detergent or clothespins in the compartments above. A more affordable alternative is to place your washing machine underneath the sink or counter, and use a curtain to hide it.

If you prefer to see your new washing machine, you can also buy a room-saving stacking kit. You'll need a stacking kit for this that you mount between your washing machine and dryer. Some stacking kits also function as a clothes rack or shelf to fold your T-shirts on. Make sure you choose the correct size, because washing machines don't always have the same dimensions. When you buy a stacking kit in combination with a washing machine or washer dryer combination and choose the installation service, our delivery drivers will stack and mount your machines. Thanks to this, you won't have to do anything yourself.
