This worked very well even while sharing a wall with a kid’s bedroom. The closet had folding doors and I added a shower curtain rod for hanging clothing above the machines. It had laundry closet in the upstairs hallway. We got new orders and moved to a place that was newly renovated. Then i made first class and moved into e-6 and about housing new construction!! Dedicated LR upstairs in middle of house (best set up) we had a deep sink and counter space! the washer was in a floor pan never had any flooding and we have five kids so laundry was going almost 24/7 Then we moved to a bigger place the washer dryer was in the mud room to the garage but bedrooms were upstairs (that was horrible) we were constantly rewashing cloths and it was unsightly. The twins would only sleep when the dryer was running for white noise. When i first got married we lived in a single story house (no chose for basement) the LR was in the same hallway as the bedrooms.

Lugging back upstairs will be required of course in this event but thats the price you pay for free drying outside! hoping not to need a dryer at all, have one in our current home with no underfloor heating or heat recovery system and still rarely use it other than to soften towel and jeans! little worried about the flooding, but going to get plumber to fit isolation valve. In good weather we can run the wet clothes from upstairs through the chute and dry outside on line. there is a laundry chute going in connecting one to the other. the upstairs floor will be reinforced concrete anyway and both floors will have underfloor heating so intend to air dry clothes on a clothes horse in both laurdry. We are putting a small laundry room upstairs then with a top loading machine (thanks for that advice as would likely have got a front loader, more popular in Ireland). these can be washed downstairs as can floor cloths, dish towels and hand towels from the ground floor. Starting to build our house this year, have allowed for two small laundry areas, one at the back door where hubby is likely to drag in muddy boots and overalls. Upgrading to steel braided hoses is actually a good idea no matter what floor your washer is located on.

( post includes affiliate links – see my full disclosure statement are much less likely to burst than standard washer hoses so paying just a few dollars more for a higher quality washer hose is definitely worth it. We used our upstairs laundry room for about four years until we moved and I thought it might help to share my experience, including the pros and cons and some important tips for preventing everyone’s biggest fear about a second floor laundry room – flooding! Hopefully this post will be helpful to those of you considering an upstairs laundry room as part of new construction or a home remodel. When we added on to our house in Cincinnati, I had several people advise me to rethink my plan to move the laundry room to the second floor but in the end I decided to go ahead with it.

I share the pros and cons along with flood prevention tips if you move everything upstairs!Īs with open shelving in the kitchen, second floor laundry rooms seem to divide people squarely into one of two camps – those who love it and those who are adamantly against it.
