There is a huge variety of options for bollards with a built-in sink under the washing machine. They can be suspended, floor-standing and on legs. In addition, they differ in their size, the materials used in their manufacture, purpose, appearance, and finally, the price. Benches, as well as the washing machine can be placed either in the kitchen or in the bathroom. In the bathroom, as a rule, place a simple standard-sized cabinet with a sink and a special opening for the washing machine. In the kitchen, they prefer to put more complex versions of furniture. The washing machine and drawers, on top of which the countertop is superimposed, will create an additional workspace for food preparation processes.

In addition, there are variants of the named types of bollards, which have a door that hides the washing machine when it is not needed. This will allow you to create a unified style of design of the room. If the room is more spacious, you can safely choose a cabinet under the washing machine with additional drawers, laundry basket, shelves, etc. In them you can hide a huge number of household items, cosmetics, towels, dirty laundry and other necessary supplies.

The most compact cabinet under the washing machine in width reaches 1100 mm, in height 878 mm, and in depth 616 mm. This cabinet consists of a sink, a small drawer for storing things under the sink, and an opening for the washing machine. The sink and drawer stand on legs, and the washing machine is installed directly on the floor. Such furniture due to its compactness and affordable price is very popular bathroom furniture.

For more spacious rooms, you can choose cabinets with a width of 1300 mm, a depth of 600 mm and a height of 900 mm. Such a cabinet with a sink will be more convenient to use due to a larger work surface and two drawers or one large drawer, where you can store more things. In kitchens, as a rule, drawers from the kitchen set and the washing machine are covered by a single countertop. In this case, they will look like one large cabinet with many drawers and cabinets for storing items. The size of such a countertop can be different and depends on the size of the kitchen.

Today it is impossible to imagine our life without a washing machine. Having become an obligatory attribute of almost every home, it is usually placed either in the bathroom or in the kitchen, thereby violating the harmony of the design solution of the room. That is why it becomes necessary to have a refined cabinet, which will hide the washing machine equipment and other items that do not allow the perfect design of the room. Furniture under the washing machine can be both bought and ordered to your liking. The second will take a little longer than the first, but in this case the probability that you will get exactly what you wanted is greater. At the same time, it should be noted that today in furniture showrooms there is such a wide range of cabinets that even among them you can find something suitable.

If you want to spend a minimum of money and are looking for a simple option only to save space and for somewhere to hide kitchen or bathroom accessories, you can immediately pay attention to small and inexpensive cabinets with a washbasin under the washing machine. They are usually painted in light shades and do not have any ornamental elements on them. Such cabinets, although they look inconspicuous, they will do their job well.

More expensive models of nightstands are distinguished by the fact that they are made of more noble and reliable materials. They can have different sizes and designs.

It is not difficult to choose a cabinet under the already ready interior, it is enough to take into account the main characteristics of the external design of the room. If it already has furniture with rounded corners and elegant forms in light colors, a dark nightstand with sharp corners will be quite out of place. Or for a bathroom, decorated in the classical style, where there are expensive gold and silver elements, luxurious wooden furniture with carvings etc., a modest cabinet in high-tech style will absolutely not work. Here it is appropriate to buy or order a cabinet under the washing machine with a sink made of artificial stone and necessarily with a door for the washing machine.

When buying furniture under the washing machine with a sink, you should not be in a hurry, because the right choice will depend on many factors.

Therefore, we recommend sticking to some rules:

1. Deciding to buy such a cabinet, first decide on the location of the cabinet. This place can be either in the kitchen or in the bathroom.
2. As with any other furniture purchase, you should check the amount of money you are willing to spend on the cabinet.
3. If you have already bought a washing machine, it is worth measuring its height, depth and width and take them into account when choosing a cabinet. Since the machine must, firstly, fit into the space allotted in a cabinet for it, and secondly, leave a little space around itself, so that during the operation of the vibration of technology is not transmitted to the furniture.
4. In addition, you must also think about how the plumbing will be diverted from the sink and washer.
5. Do not forget about the compatibility of purchased furniture with the style of decoration of the room.
6. Pay attention to the materials from which the product and its fittings are made. For legs, handles and hinges, chrome metal is a good option. Plastic chrome-plated or gold-plated fittings can lose their original appearance within one month. Painted bollards should be perfectly smooth.
7. It is important that the materials from which the cabinet is made, was waterproof. Only in this case, it can serve you well and for a long time.

Domestic manufacturers offer high quality furniture models under the washing machine. The cost of such cabinets, as a rule, starts from 20 000 rubles.

Today, in any furniture showroom or hardware store for free or for a small sum offer the assembly and installation of purchased goods. If you order furniture made in a furniture company, they will usually do the installation for free.

If you do decide to install a cabinet under the washing machine with a sink yourself, we advise to adhere to the following rules:

1. When installing the appliances inside the furniture, there should be at least a couple of centimeters between them, otherwise the vibrating washing machine can damage the integrity of the cabinet and interfere with your peace.
2. When placing furniture with a closing door, don't forget to provide easy access to it. No matter how many doors there are, it's important that they open and close freely.
3. Think carefully about how to conduct the equipment electricity and water, as well as the drainage pipe.

Any furniture can be made by your own forces, provided that you have the desire, time and, most importantly, experience as a carpenter. Moreover, today you can buy any tools and materials in sawn form. However, before you start making a cabinet with your own hands, make an estimate of the costs. This will allow you to know whether it will be cheaper to buy or create a cabinet with your own hands.

It is worth remembering that the furniture under the washing machine will have to constantly work in conditions of high humidity. In addition, it will be at risk of water ingress. Therefore, the moisture resistance of the materials from which it is made becomes an obligatory requirement for such furniture. Such are furniture made of MDF, treated wood, glass, metal and plastic. The surface of MDF tiles are coated with a special moisture-resistant film, but despite this, water can penetrate into the ends and the fasteners, because of which the furniture can soon deteriorate.

A cabinet made of metal and glass will last longer than all other options. Moreover, the glass can be both frosted and mirrored. Or you can choose models with transparent glass. The only disadvantage of such furniture is a high price. On the contrary, plastic furniture is quite cheap. In addition, they can be very bright and are characterized by high moisture resistance. The only drawback is that plastic is not the strongest and most reliable material. Furniture made of wood. impregnated with a moisture-protection agent looks very beautiful and elegant, but usually the cost of such furniture is high and besides, it too can gradually lose its qualities as MDF.
