Hello,

we are looking for suitable cabinets for our utility room (Hauswirtschaftsraum) in the basement.

What we have already found:

Laundry tower (brand: Waschturm) – the washing machine and dryer are positioned side by side on an elevated platform, and directly below there is a small drawer to place the laundry basket.

What we are looking for:

We want to install a sink directly next to the washing machine and connect it to the washing machine’s water supply and drainage.

Right next to it (or integrated into one cabinet or cabinet system) there should be a work surface.

On another wall, larger cabinets should be installed for storage.

Which cabinets can you recommend that are affordable (since they will be in the basement) and include the function with the sink?

The only issue is that the water connections (supply/drain) for the kitchen sink are installed beforehand.

We will then connect the washing machine to the supply and drain of the kitchen sink using a T-piece or something similar.

The electrical outlets for the dryer and washing machine will also be installed in advance.

You can allow a 20-30cm (8-12 inches) deviation for a sink and manage it using flexible hoses or the trap. For the washing machine, you already have a cable connected, which also allows for some flexibility. Plan roughly at first and then adjust accordingly. You don’t need to know the exact measurements for the connections down to the millimeter.

How would you roughly plan this?

What would you place under the window?

Would you position the sink to the right or left of the washing machine and dryer? (on the floor plan: left or right?)

I wouldn’t split up the cabinet run, so on the right side of the plan.

The countertop or the sink… it’s a raised basement window, isn’t it?

Window sill height 1.51m (5 feet)

Ok, so the countertop, sink, window, washing machine, and dryer should be positioned as far to the left as possible.
