Do you have Ikea Pax in your utility room?

I’m considering planning something with Nobilia or Schüller.
Which systems do you have? Ikea Pax or similar?
I would appreciate photos.
I want to design my utility room in an appealing way without mixing different furniture brands—so preferably Ikea Pax or other manufacturers.
There are examples on the Nobilia and Schüller websites. The washer and dryer are then placed raised inside a cabinet. Is this something to be concerned about, or can it be done without any issues?
Or is it better to build masonry platforms?

As I said: photos of how your utility room looks are welcome.

The only things we still carry up and down are the towels from the guest bathroom and the kitchen cloths.

hahahha – I forgot those, but it’s not a big deal 😀

One walking route to consider: you sometimes hang laundry out in the garden, so having the utility room on the upper floor is less practical again…

We thought about that at the beginning too and then noted how often we actually hang laundry outside in the garden… For us, that hardly ever happens anymore.

“Sometimes” means: not often. Occasionally, rather rarely. More often elsewhere. 😉 Put that into context with your loads of laundry.

To be honest, that was an ironic understatement. I mainly plan to hang it in the garden when the weather allows. Before my wife moved in with me, I almost exclusively hung my laundry on the balcony, at least from April to October.

For us, drying laundry outdoors is an integral part of our laundry routine, as long as the weather permits. In winter, the wood-burning stove sometimes has to be used as a "clothes dryer."

Same here. I never would have thought that people with a garden wouldn’t use it for drying laundry before I read this here.

When thinking about the logic of minimizing walking distances, I always imagine the large, immobile people of the future from Wall-E. 🙂
