Washing machine and dryer in the dressing room? What do you think about that? We’ve been debating it back and forth and find that the benefits outweigh having them in the utility room (HAR). Setting them up in a third room would also be an option (utility room + storage/laundry room + dressing room = 3 rooms), but here I want to compare washing machine/dryer in the utility room versus washing machine/dryer in the dressing room. Space-wise, the dressing room would be suitable at around 10 sqm (100 sq ft), while the utility room is already somewhat overloaded with technical equipment.
As far as I know, there are no problems with leaks. A water catch basin with drainage will be installed, so even if the washing machine leaks, the water will drain similarly to shower or bathtub water into the sewer system.
Advantages:
- Washing machine/dryer located where most laundry is generated
- Washing machine/dryer not in the “dirty” utility room where garden tools are also stored, but in the clean dressing room
- Laundry can be dried in the dressing room (for items not suitable for the dryer) and put away immediately
Disadvantages:
- Dressing room is adjacent to the bedroom, so sleeping is basically not possible while the washing machine/dryer is running
Another option would be to put the washing machine/dryer in the bathroom, where we also have enough space (14 sqm (150 sq ft)), but then the washing machine/dryer wouldn’t be accessible if someone is using the bathroom.
I don’t see sleeping while the washing machine/dryer is running as a big issue. Ours only runs during the day. In principle, these devices can also be programmed (washing machine starts so that it finishes just as you arrive home...).
What are your thoughts?

Our dryer and washing machine will be located in the utility room – this is definitely not a wet room. And it doesn’t need to be – but in the walk-in closet next to the bedroom? If you like that…

A wet room is a term from the construction industry that is not normatively defined. (Wikipedia, https : // de.Wikipedia.org/Wiki/Feuchtraum)Grym schrieb:
Dryer in the walk-in closet?Then there’s the question of whether to go for vented or condenser (ventless) dryers.
I’ve said it before: I have no idea about laundry.

What defines a wet room, or a damp room, is not found in any standard or even Wikipedia, but simply comes down to logic. It is a room where a lot of water is used. Not everything has to be strictly standardized in the typical German way.
It’s similar with DIN standards. "DIN standards are not legal regulations but private technical guidelines with a recommendatory character" — or something along those lines, as the Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) phrased it.
PS: Although when creating this definition, they probably should have asked for clearer explanations from some DIN standards beforehand.
