Storage & Folding Space
The machine is only half the laundry. You also need somewhere for dirty washing, a surface to fold on, and a home for detergent — ideally all tucked away. Pricing is shown per country; regions marked "being researched" are coming soon.
Storage options
Hampers & Baskets
Somewhere for dirty washing to live is the easy thing to forget. A slim pull-out hamper, a wall-mounted bag or a basket that tucks under a bench keeps clothes off the floor in a small space.
Advantages
- Keeps dirty washing contained
- Slim pull-outs fit a cabinet bay
- Wall/door-mounted saves floor space
- Cheap
Trade-offs
- Easy to under-size
- Takes a little cupboard space
- Needs a spot near the machine

Folding Bench / Fold-Down Shelf
A small bench or a hinged fold-down shelf above or beside the machine gives you somewhere to fold — then folds flat when you’re done. The benchtop over an under-counter machine does double duty.
Advantages
- Fold-down shelf stows flat
- Bench above the machine is free space
- Makes folding far easier
- Doubles as extra surface
Trade-offs
- Wall-mounted needs solid fixing
- Bench height must suit the machine
- One more thing to build in

Detergent & Supplies Shelf
A narrow shelf, over-door rack or slim pull-out keeps detergent, pegs and cleaning supplies tidy and to hand — without cluttering the bench.
Advantages
- Everything in one spot
- Slim/over-door uses dead space
- Keeps the bench clear
- Cheap to add
Trade-offs
- Keep liquids secure for travel (THOW)
- Small footprint to find
- Can get cluttered

Hide It Behind a Door
The tidiest tiny-home laundries disappear behind a cupboard or bi-fold door — machine, hamper and supplies all concealed in one cabinet when not in use.
Advantages
- Hides the whole laundry
- Looks like cabinetry
- Keeps a small home calm and uncluttered
- Muffles machine noise a little
Trade-offs
- Needs ventilation so damp can escape
- Cabinet/door adds cost
- Door swing needs clearance
