40 Laundry Rooms That Will Make You Want To Stack Your Washer And Dryer

Your laundry room is one of the more straightforward rooms in your home when it comes to design, but there are still a handful of variables. Besides flooring, wall color, cabinets, and decorations, there's still the matter of what kind of laundry machines to get, and how to arrange them. While side-by-side washers and dryers are more conventional, stacking machines are something to consider.

According to General Appliance Service, stacking washers and dryers not only save space in your laundry room, but they also tend to be more energy efficient, which leads to cheaper bills and an eco-friendlier home. Plus, they're easier to hide if you don't like the look of machinery in your home. Designing a laundry room with stacked washers and dryers may be a bit more difficult than regular side-by-side machinery, though. Keep reading for a stunning variety of stacking washer and dryer laundry room inspiration.
