How to fit a tumble dryer into a small bathroom

With constant laundry, limited space for drying and little time available, the tumble dryer becomes a fundamental ally in managing everyday household tasks. Have you never had one and would like to install one, but are worried you don’t have enough space?

Then this article is just right for you. We have put together some ideas for fitting a tumble dryer into a small bathroom: let’s take a look at them together.

Make the most of vertical space

One of the most practical solutions is to stack the dryer on top of the washing machine, creating a laundry column that takes up little floor space and makes the most of the height. You can do this if you have two compatible appliances equipped with a fixing kit or by using a special column unit, such as those offered by Azzurra.

Hide your tumble dryer with a special cabinet

Another option is to place the dryer in a cabinet or niche, perhaps using unused space such as under the sink or next to the shower. This way, you can hide the dryer from view and integrate it with the rest of the bathroom décor. To ensure good ventilation, remember to leave some space around the dryer and equip the cabinet or niche with a grille or perforated door. Here too, you can find inspiration in the various laundry room furniture designs by Azzurra.

Organise a proper laundry area

Finally, if you have the opportunity to do some renovation work, you could consider creating a laundry room separate from the bathroom, perhaps using part of the hallway or bedroom. This will give you a dedicated space for laundry, with a tumble dryer, washing machine, drying rack, ironing board and all the necessary accessories. This solution will allow you to free up space in the bathroom and also give you more privacy.
