It's hard enough keeping up with the ever-changing trends in fashion, but now that influence has seemed to permeate its way into the homestead.
The latest home trend? Having your laundry room in ANY room of your house!
According to The Independent, "quieter and compact machines" have allowed people to put washers and dryers in other parts of their home where plumbing and electricity hookups are available.
Jeanne Chung, a California-based interior designer, said, "Stacked machines conserve space!"
In the kitchen? Why not! Living room? Absolutely!
Chung says that standing washer-dryers can be hidden in closets or bathrooms, and that families who stick to side-by-side washer-dryers in rooms like kitchens have been able to "hide" the appliances "underneath countertops to make use of every inch."
Abby Gruman of Abby Leigh Designs in New York City also says that she's seeing laundry rooms on the "level" that a master bedroom is on in newly constructed homes.
She's also noticed that people are doubling up on standing washer-dryer units saying, "Instead of one, people want two."
