    We are working on plans for a small reno for our bathroom, ensuite and laundry.
    Unfortunately the layout for the laundry is quite poor imo.

    Is it possible to fit a sink and washer/ dryer in here WITHOUT stacking them as well as leaving the back wall free for floor to ceiling cabinetry?

    Right box is the sink and left is the washer. Left door is sliding door. Putting them both on the left wall is pretty cramped considering the sink.

    Cheers in advance.

    Swap out one of the doors for a slider or cavity slider, gets rid of the space required for a door swing.

    The left door is a slider, I just couldn't see any slider options in the planner.

    I don’t think you can…? But could stack them and then have a L-shaped bench so you still have plenty of bench space (eg 600 deep at the top next to the washer / dryer stack and then 400 deep along the side.

    Yeah, thanks. I think this design might be the winner.

    If we ever get a dryer I'll just hang it above the washer rather than stacking them.

    Do you have to have the external door? Can it be closed off, which would give you that entire wall to play with - or is it the direct rout out to the washing line?
