The Laundry Room is what the name suggests, it is a place where clothes are washed and dried. The laundry room doesn’t have a specific location where it has to be installed, which means that the room is located on the main floor, the first floor, or in the basement. The location of the room has a huge impact on the layout of the property and can ease or harden doing laundry. In today’s blog, we will be taking a look at the benefit of installing your laundry on the main floor, first floor, and basement.
Where Should I Install My Laundry Room?
Where Should I Install My Laundry Room?
Easier To Do Laundry - First Floor Location
When the Laundry Room is located on the first floor, it is easier to do laundry because you’re able to take the clothes needed to wash straight from the bedroom to the laundry room without climbing or descending any stairs. For larger families, completing laundry especially when the laundry room is located on another floor can become a huge hassle and can get you tired very quickly. Rather, installing a laundry room above will save you energy and time. If you’re very limited on space, instead of creating a separate room for the laundry, you can convert one of your closets into a stacked laundry.
Saving More Space - Main Floor Location
When the Laundry Room is located on the main floor, you can access more space above and could convert the space into an additional room or bathroom, which will add a significant amount of value to your home. In addition, homeowners can install a laundry suction system which gives them the ability to add clothes to the suction which will automatically bring them to the laundry room below. It is important to note, the suction system will work if you’re able to create a proper room dedicated to laundry, and so if you’re planning to install a stacked laundry on the main floor, then the suction system may not be your best bet.
Less Noise - Basement
When the Laundry Room is located in the basement, you are not only saving space upstairs but you will also hear less noise from the machines. For those who do their laundry during the night time, this option is great because you will not be disturbing those who are asleep and if you’re working on the main floor, you won’t be disturbed by the noise. It is important to note if you’re planning to rent out your basement, then sharing laundry could be a hassle and you might be required to install another laundry on one of the floors above.

To summarize today’s blog, installing a laundry room on each of the floors comes with its benefits. For homeowners who have a lot of laundry and would like to make their life easier, installing a laundry room on the floor of the bedrooms would be the best option. If you prefer to have an additional bedroom or bathroom in your home, then installing the laundry room on the main floor would be the best option. Finally, if you have a vacant basement and plan to keep it for personal use, then the best option would be to have your laundry in the basement. As mentioned before, installing a suction system to easily send your laundry to the bottom floors will ease your and your family member’s life remarkably.
