More And More People Are Not Putting Their Washing Machines On Balconies, Learning From The Practices Of Cantonese People, Practical And Beautiful!
According to the flow logic, placing the washing machine on the balcony is the best choice.
After washing clothes, they can be easily taken out and air dried, which is convenient and fast.
But life is not just about daily necessities, sometimes it also requires poetry and distant places.
As the best space at home, if the balcony is only used for drying, it is inevitably a bit of a waste of talent.
So, more and more people are starting to stop putting washing machines on balconies. It is recommended to learn from the decoration methods of Guangdong people, which are practical and beautiful.
The hassle of putting the washing machine on the balcony
When my family first renovated, I never considered this issue, so I naturally placed the washing machine on the balcony. However, after moving in, I had a few unbearable troubles.
① Unattractive
The most obvious annoyance of placing a washing machine on the balcony is its unattractive appearance.
Netizen @ Xingyue:
I originally bought a large balcony and imagined it to be used for drinking tea and sunbathing, but after putting it on the washing machine, its appearance instantly decreased, and I felt that the taste of the entire balcony had changed.
Netizen @ Xiaoxiao:
There are two children at home who wash clothes almost every day, and the balcony has become a dedicated area for washing and drying, which greatly reduces the appearance of the living room.
② Washing machine aging
Netizen @ Gugumao:
The washing machine is on the balcony, in a state of exposure to sunlight. Not only is the outer shell aging, but the internal parts are also easily damaged. The washing machine broke down several times after using it for 2 years.
③ There is noise
Netizen @ Snail chasing plane:
The washing machine is placed on the balcony without a sliding door, and I don't have time to wash it during the day when I work. I wash it at night, and the noise is particularly loud, which is very annoying.
Innovative Design by Cantonese People
In the decoration of Guangdong, few people are willing to place washing machines on balconies. Their approach is full of creativity, beautiful and practical, which has been imitated by countless people.
① Placed in a separate laundry room
Guangdong @ Pilzai:
When decorating, the most proud design is to separate the storage area into a laundry room, hiding both the washing machine and dryer in a customized cabinet, which is both beautiful and practical.
An independent laundry room, in the eyes of many people, is dedicated to large apartments, but in fact, it is not.
Many layouts can be designed with care to create an independent laundry room, which doesn't need to be large, just a few square meters is enough.
An independent laundry room can not only hide the washing machine, but also store laundry detergent and cleaning tools inside, serving as a housekeeping room.
Many Cantonese people choose embedded design when designing laundry rooms, and the large washing machine and dryer are designed with a raised design, so there is no need to bend down when using them.
If there is really no space at home to design an independent laundry room.
You can learn from the Guangdong netizen @ Jacks by dividing the balcony in half and creating a linked door with a mirror in the middle, which not only allows for drying on the balcony but also achieves perfect concealment.
② Placed on the north facing balcony
The north facing balcony, also known as the living balcony, is the best place for washing machines as it does not rise in the sun.
Guangdong @ Tuanzi:
Putting the washing machine on the Beiyangtai is too fragrant! There is no need to worry about exposure to sunlight or aging of the washing machine, and the small balcony facing north does not affect the overall appearance of the home, killing three birds with one stone.
Of course, some layouts do not have living balconies, which makes it impossible to achieve such conditions. Therefore, when buying a house, it is necessary to buy a layout with double balconies, which is really practical.
③ Placed in the dry area of the bathroom
Placing a washing machine in the bathroom is also a very smart choice for many people in Guangdong, not only saving space, but also very practical.
Guangdong @ Have you finished eating your bananas
I didn't want the washing machine to occupy the beautiful view of the balcony, so I directly expanded the dry area of the bathroom and placed the washing machine and dryer directly in the bathroom, which is high-end and practical.
Many people are concerned that the washing machine may become damp when left in the bathroom. In fact, as long as the washing machine is not placed in a damp area, there is basically no such hidden danger.
So, when placing the washing machine in the bathroom, it must be designed in a dry area. If there is not enough space, try to expand the dry area or shrink the washbasin.
At the same time, when placing the washing machine in the bathroom, it is also necessary to consider the issue of primary and secondary hygiene. The usual practice is to place it in the secondary hygiene space for the convenience of family use.
④ Placed in the cloakroom
Guangdong @ Yakult Little Cute:
When designing the cloakroom, I had a sudden inspiration and took out a separate space to store the washing machine and dryer. Unexpectedly, after moving in, it was easy to cry.
After washing, the clothes can be ironed directly and hung in the cabinet, achieving laundry and storage in one step, which is convenient and fast.
⑤ Placed in the kitchen
To be honest, there is no other way to leave the washing machine in the kitchen, which is suitable for some small apartments or those without balconies.
Guangdong @ A Cloud:
Because I had no money, I only bought a small apartment of 28 square meters and had no place to put a washing machine.
Later, it was discovered that the width of the washing machine was almost the same as the width of the cabinet, so it could also be embedded like a dishwasher, and the overall appearance did not affect the aesthetics, making it super practical.
@Cat reminds everyone:
If the washing machine is left in the kitchen, it must be cleaned regularly to prevent oil fumes from contaminating the washing machine and affecting hygiene.
⑥ Foyer
With the increasing appearance and integration level of washing machines, placing them on the "bright side" is also an innovative use by many people in Guangdong.
Guangdong @ Pasai:
The space in the foyer is quite large, which feels very wasteful. I customized a cabinet and directly placed the washing machine and dryer in the foyer. When I go home, I can easily throw dirty clothes in for washing, which is very convenient.
Placing the washing machine in the foyer is a more avant-garde design that requires very detailed design and sufficient space. Therefore, if you do not have enough experience, it is not advisable to try it easily.
The position and placement of the washing machine should not be fixed, and designing it in conjunction with home space is the best choice.
The innovative design of washing machines by the Cantonese people mentioned above should be ranked in the following order: dedicated laundry room>north facing balcony>cloakroom>bathroom>foyer>kitchen.
