Where To Put A Tumble Dryer In A Small House? (2024)

Washtower Top Laundry Unit Picks For Small Houses

In a small house, optimising space is essential, and finding the right spot for your tumble dryer can be a creative challenge.

Whether you choose to stack a dryer on top of your washing machine, place it in a cupboard, under the stairs or anywhere else - safety, ventilation, and convenience should always be your top priorities.

Here are three space-saving options you’ll find on our website to guide your search:

WSCS162 | Basic Cupboard

Our smallest possible unit that can hold a tumble dryer. Perfect if space in your home is truly at a premium. This unit also has the benefit of having a great working height for ease of use.

Original 2.4

Where width is limited but there’s a little more ceiling height to play with, this model offers some additional storage space up top. As a result, this then saves the need to find this storage elsewhere in the room providing the ultimate convenience.

WSTT185 | Washing machine and dryer cupboard

While this article focuses on where to put a tumble dryer in a small home, you may also lack space for a washing machine. If so, this unit will combine both appliances within a stacked configuration.

Placing a tumble dryer under a sloping roofis possible but comes with certain considerations. The angle and height of your roof may affect the installation. Ensure there is sufficient headroom for the tumble dryer to function safely and efficiently.

Proper ventilation remains crucial, as confined spaces can accumulate heat and moisture, affecting both the appliance and the room.

As with any creative storage option for a tumble dryer, we would advise double-checking with a professional first

While it might seem unconventional, it's possible to install a washing machine and tumble dryer in a bathroom if space constraints demand it. However, this approach comes with some caveats.

First and foremost, safety is paramount. Make sure the bathroom is adequately ventilated to disperse moisture and prevent condensation.

Additionally, consult local building codes and regulations, as placing electrical appliances in bathrooms can be subject to specific requirements
