Hi,

is it possible to fit this washing machine

White front-loading washing machine with round door, detergent drawer top left.


into a similar

Narrow freestanding white kitchen cabinet with two doors; inside with visible shelves.


cabinet, so that a refrigerator could be placed on top and the washing machine below?

The same question applies to this cabinet

Narrow white standing cabinet with open compartments and three bottom drawers


could you fit an oven, a microwave AND a dishwasher from IKEA in the lower section?

My new kitchen is unfortunately quite narrow and the washing machine has to be in the kitchen because of the only water connection. However, if it were possible to arrange all these appliances inside two tall cabinets, that would help me a lot.

Ah, now I get it with your washing machine, so it’s a fully integrated one. Unfortunately, that exceeds my budget, so I’ll probably have to go with the IKEA model… how frustrating. I couldn’t find any information about its quality online. Same problem with the dishwasher…

Here’s an idea of how I might do it, quickly and without going into details. Everything included: washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, dining area, plenty of light, etc.

Kitchen with cream-colored front, sink, oven, extractor hood, open breakfast bar, and bar stools.


Floor plan of a narrow living space: kitchen on the left, sleeping or seating area on the right.

hey,

super cool, thanks for the effort (I know how frustrating the IKEA kitchen planner can be... or do you have a secret tip to make it run better? It’s so annoyingly slow on my Mac, is that normal?)

Where would your washing machine be located?

The washing machine is on the right, next to the sink, and the dishwasher is on the left side of the sink.
The planner is sometimes slow, often because the IKEA servers are heavily used at certain times.
I worked the night shift this week, and at night it was very fast.

hello chfilm,

yes, many things are possible. you just need to inform yourself in advance and identify potential problems/find solutions.

for my own planning, spending hours reading in this forum was very helpful, for example with the extra-large dishwasher and much more.

my sincere thanks go to the very dedicated IKEA experts, IKEA enthusiasts, and other users who shared their issues and solutions, providing clarity for my planning.
