Laundry is accumulated in bedrooms and bathrooms. It becomes a major inconvenience to haul it down a flight of stairs to the laundry room and back up when it’s clean again when these rooms are upstairs. That’s why it’s becoming increasingly popular to relocate washing machines and dryers upstairs.

The space should also include a electric hookup for the dryer, water hookups and drainage .
