Main floor laundry vs basement.
When you have a house that presents equal opportunities for either a basement laundry room or an upstairs laundry room you need to examine your lifestyle preferences and dislikes plus take into account other occupants of your home.
On a second floor try to position it so it backs onto a bathroom.
Do carefully consider location.
A laundry chute could cut down on some of those trips.
Upstairs laundry rooms.
So i grew up with the feeling that having a main floor laundry room is a luxury and one that i always wanted.
Should it be part of the mudroom remain in the basement or move to the garage the second floor or the main floor while there s no prevailing trend regarding where it should be situated there are a number of reasons to consider a main level laundry room.
When i was growing up we lived ian neighborhood where everyone had the laundry in the basement because the homes were built in the 40s i think some people were just glad to have a place in the basement for it.
Don t put the laundry too close to sleeping areas.
If your home has two or more stories then putting your laundry room on the main floor off the kitchen means that you re a flight of stairs away from the bedrooms and hampers on a busy laundry day that means a lot of trips up and down.
For convenience on the main floor anywhere off the kitchen makes sense as does a mudroom or off the garage.
