Hello everyone,

we are looking for a cabinet for our utility room.

Some time ago, we saw an advertisement from a kitchen manufacturer featuring a combination like this:
On the far left, a cabinet with drawers for pantry storage, etc.
On the far right, a narrow cabinet with a door where the vacuum cleaner can be stored upright, along with some cleaning supplies.
In the middle, two cabinet sections, each with a large, half-height recess for the washing machine and dryer, with a drawer underneath each and regular shelves above.

The total width was around 2.4m (7 ft 10 in) or 2.6m (8 ft 6 in). It would fit well and look neat.

However, it’s not exactly cheap. You can expect to pay around 3000€.

A relative told us he wouldn’t place the washing machine on a raised platform because it moves or might even “walk.”
Our machine doesn’t do that yet, but of course, I don’t want to spend that much money only to have everything rattling after two years.

What do you think?
How have you organized your utility room?

Try searching for "Schüller utility room," they have quite a few options available. I assume other manufacturers offer similar solutions; so far, Schüller has been the most prominent for me.

We have also planned for this. Whether it will be with Schüller, Ikea, or something completely different is still undecided.

Yes, I had already clicked through the online planner, but that was it. There was no option to request a quote or anything similar based on that. I also wrote to ask where it can be purchased, but unfortunately never received a reply. That was probably about 6 weeks ago.

Why not visit a kitchen showroom that offers Schüller kitchens? That's the approach I would take now…

Most kitchen manufacturers either cannot or do not want to operate exclusively online.

We have a platform for the washing machine and dryer, with an IKEA kitchen cabinet with drawers next to it on the platform (for detergents, etc.). Under the platform, there is space for all the laundry baskets. Above the appliances and the cabinet, there is a countertop for folding clothes; two wall cabinets, each 80cm (31.5 inches) wide and 40cm (15.7 inches) high, are mounted on the wall above for towels, cleaning supplies, and so on. On both sides of this setup are standard tall kitchen cabinets with pull-out drawers and shelves for everything you might need. The cost was only a few hundred euros, but I am very satisfied with this arrangement. It has also proven to be very practical in use.

Hailo apparently also offers fittings for cabinets, but I don’t know how their prices and quality compare.
