How to choose a cabinet with a sink for a washing machine?

The sink is an important item that is inseparable from the concept of a bathroom. As a rule, such a space is small, so there are options for saving space by combining the washing machine with the main tabletop.

In a small room, there is an actual close proximity of a washing machine and a sink. In this case, the neighborhood is the freeing up of space in the bathroom by placing the washing machine under the sink or in the same cabinet where it is located.

There are several options for combining sinks, cabinets, countertops.

Let's consider the main ones:

• washing machine under the sink (no cabinet, no countertop);
• washing machine built into the cabinet;
• washing machine under the table top and without a curbstone.

The first option for the location of the machine is the most budgetary in relation to others.

Stages of creating this design:

• after finishing the bathroom, we draw conclusions for the supply and drainage of water;
• we mount the mounts for the washbasin, taking into account the dimensions of the washing machine (it is important to take into account the height, but for aesthetics it is better to maintain the width, which is determined by the dimensions of the sink when buying in a store)
• we install the washbasin on the mountings and connect the water supply and drain;
• we install the washing machine, output the feed and drain to the finished outputs.

The second option for the location of the machine involves the use of a specially selected cabinet for the size of the equipment, or custom-made according to your size. In this case, you do not have to worry about finishing the back wall behind the furniture. The installation process is quite simple - a curbstone is installed, a sink is placed on it, and a pre-prepared drain and water supply are connected. Next, the machine is built in (before installing the machine in the cabinet, you need to make sure that the water and drain are supplied and connected, also open the water supply tap after installing the machine - this will be problematic).

This option for installing your equipment has several advantages:

• the equipment is hidden from the eyes of children (if possible, locks can be installed);
• when entering the bathroom, the enchanting design of your bathroom is striking without the appearance of a washing machine;
• furniture hides pipes and wires from equipment;
• freeing up space for additional bathroom accessories.

In the modern bathroom interior, the third version of the combination of a sink and a typewriter is gaining more and more popularity. The transition of the countertop from the sink to the washing machine looks aesthetically pleasing, and then, closing this structure on one side, creating the effect of transition into the floor. This furniture can be created independently by purchasing a tabletop and a special tool for cutting out sections for built-in equipment. This design is more modern in relation to the previous ones, and also quite simple to install.

Modern manufacturers strive to increase sales by offering customers specific washbasin designs. This can often affect the arrangement of furniture in the bathroom.

Paying attention to the variation of sink designs, we can distinguish built-in, overhead, tulip and wall-mounted sinks. Typically, their material can influence the design decision.

And so, the built-in product differs from its counterparts in the specifics of installation. The main part of it is immersed in a cabinet or countertop, which allows you to hide the defects of factory production, but some of them come with a cabinet, which has a cutout for the installation of washbasins.

A tulip is a type of sink that has its own pedestal, which allows you to hide the outlets under the drain and water, but this type excludes the proximity to the washing machine.

Overhead products are gaining more and more popularity. They are installed on the table top, forming a bowl shape. For its installation, you do not need to make any special efforts. Many suppliers sell them with a countertop that has an opening for the sink to make it more stable during installation.

The classic version of a variety of products is a wall sink. For its installation, special fasteners and clamps are used. If you place it at a certain distance from the floor, you can place a washing machine under it, and then beat it all with graceful fasteners and faucets.

The variety of styles of plumbing makes it possible to create originality, but you should not abuse such an exclusive if you have a small bathroom. Many variants of sinks and pedestals are produced for separate installation. If you want to build technology into it, then you should consider simpler options.

The main direction of choosing a headset in the bathroom is its design. Many sellers impose the opinion that the curbstone, first of all, should be beautiful. However, the truth is that you need to choose furniture in the bathroom taking into account that various products, towels, soap accessories and so on will be stored there. Based on this, we can say that the main criterion for choosing a toilet set is its practicality.

Consider the main types of sink cabinets:

• hanging bedside tables;
• floor tables;
• pedestals on legs;

Paying attention to the traditions of the past, we can note the pedestals with legs. They add coziness and comfort to the bathroom. Such models, as a rule, have rounded shapes with elements of embossed drawings. Such cabinets are not convenient if a washing machine is located in them.

Floor stands are popular and widespread. They come in a variety of shapes, lengths and designs. These models are best suited to the combination of a sink and a washing machine. They are the most functional in everyday life. Popular sizes are 100cm, 110cm and 120cm.

Hanging cabinets have a more modern appearance. They can combine a sink and a washing machine, but on condition that the machine is placed on the floor.

After choosing the type of cabinet, it is worth thinking about its design, as well as choosing a material that will extend its service life.

When choosing furniture for the bathroom, you should not rush. There are many tricks of suppliers to promote their products, so first you need to understand what you need, study the reviews about the company. After that, you can go to the salon and chat with sales managers.

In order not to be mistaken when buying bathroom furniture, you must:

• clearly know the size of your room;
• decide on the location of the curbstone;

• know the dimensions of the washing machine (therefore, first you should buy a washing machine, and then pick up a cabinet);
• determine the location of water inlets and outlets;
• the main thing in the headset is its fittings, so you should seriously approach this issue (inspect the handles, hinges, fasteners);
• after that, you should decide on the design of the curbstone;
• set yourself price boundaries before buying a pedestal based on your budget.

If you have not found suitable furniture, then you should order it from catalogs, but you definitely need to clarify the production time. This is convenient because a measurer can come to you and then make furniture according to your parameters. Also, before creating, you will create a design for future furniture, which you can make changes to. At the same time, the price can be much lower than in salons with ready-made models. Typically, the service package may include free shipping and installation.

Therefore, before you buy, recalculate your budget and then make the right choice.
