5 Quick Fixes: Clever Camouflage for the Washer/Dryer - Remodelista
Last week, Kristina shared Studio McGee’s inspiring laundry room rehab (see: Before/After: A Luxe Laundry Room by an Instagram-Famous Design Duo, Plus How to Steal the Look).
For those of you who live with space constraints, here are five ingenious ways to shimmy a washer and dryer into other rooms in your home—seamlessly and stylishly.

1. Conceal them behind cabinet doors.
“The washer and dryer are Miele; I had to have our carpenter hack the cabinets so they would fit,” says Amy Lindburg of her washer and dryer, which live in the kitchen of her San Francisco home.

“Without a utility room in which to hide the…washer/dryer, we had to steal space from the kitchen,” says Isabel Blundena of her incognito units.
2. Create a closet for them.
In a normal apartment, this wall of doors might simply reveal clothes closets; in this 355-square-foot home, you’ll find a kitchenette on the left and this laundry closet on the right.

3. Draw the curtain on them.

4. Put them behind louvered doors.
5. Integrate them into the room design.
Here’s a counterintuitive way to seamlessly integrate a washer and dryer into a space—put them on display.
